Why is is that on a family ride the MOM always gets stuck towing the kids? I was on a hilly ride a week ago and just after I reached the top of a steep hill and turned around for the downhill, I passed a guy who was going up. When I got back to the very bottom, there was his wife, with the kid in the trailer, going around in circles, not attempting the hill. I thought "what fun could that be?". If HE had been pulling the kid, they both could have ridden up the hill, probably together, and he could have gotten an even better workout, if that is what he was after.
