Spoken like a true parent

English to French Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters spoken like a true
Le contexte : une femme vient d'accoucher. La péridurale n'a pas fonctionné. Il a fallu qu'elle gère sa douleur comme elle pouvait et du coup, elle a mordu au sang la main de son mari qui se trouvait à ses côtés. Plus tard, le couple raconte l'histoire à leur famille, et le mari, tout au bonheur de la naissance de son enfant, conclut en disant "Well, that was woth it". Et son oncle qui se trouve là dit en souriant :"Spoken like a true parent"
Comment pourrait-on rendre cela svp ? Il faut que ce soit naturel et dialogué. Merci pour vos idées !

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): GILLES MEUNIER, mchd

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
