Propaganda-prop·a·gan·da Pronunciation[prop-uh-gan-duh]
–noun 1. information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc.
I would say at least 50% of the handouts/magazines we have gotten have painted such a grim picture of pregnancy, birth, and child rearing, it is a wonder that anyone has kids at all.
Yes, it is difficult, it is life changing, and some brutal honesty may be nice occasionally, but I don't imagine that hormonally charged pregnant women appreciate some hippie handout telling them that their lives are going to be over, their bodies are going to change, their house will get messy, everyone will hate them, and they might as well go eat worms.
If the wife an I look different in a month or so, it is because we are hollowed out shells of people who cannot function on a personal or emotional level, because babies ruin lives.

That last sentence has pretty much always been my understanding of it.
Glad you don't believe everything you read--babies change your life but only for the better!
lol. I like how these pamphlets take an philosophical stance that life will always stay the same and stay good w/o the chillens.
Life changes all the time. Plus they don't stay babies forever. Soon they'll be able to play video games, and online at that...you can plop them down in front of the xbox 720 and have uncle sean play online with LBF for a few hours.
At least you know that there will be two more zombies joining the ranks in September.
I REGRET NOTHING!!! In fact, babies are soo much fun (months 6-10 so far) that I would even have another some day!! Even Sqkr thinks so.
