Finally somebody has explained having babies. In a society where everybody is an addict (Hi, my name is Rob and I am addicted to blogging.) and nobody likes children, there had to be a better explanation for my family than just plain insanity. (Sue has 8 children and 8(?) grandchildren, Pam has three children, I have 4 children, Joann has 10 children, and Stephen has 2 - hello Stephs?) Now I understand. We are in fact insane, quite apparent. But also, women get pregnant over and over again because they want attention. They're addicts.
"Some women may like being pregnant a little too much, often driven to rapidly reproduce out of insecurity, a craving for attention, or feelings of abandonment by their own parents."
(Mom, it was all your fault!)"Boston psychiatrist and Fox News consultant Keith Ablow, M.D., says some women seem to view having more children as an alternative to addressing their own personal problems. "Bearing another child can sometimes provide a substitute for deciding on a career path, making a marriage work, or even wrestling with questions of self-worth," Ablow says."
(Oh Joann, you must have a lot of problems you are avoiding - not to mention the 10 kids you need to avoid.)'People smile at you, throw you baby showers, buy you lots of gifts. And the rounder your belly gets, the more space you take up in the world, and the more people take notice of you. In many respects, you become impossible to ignore.
(Couldn't ignore Debbie. Just wouldn't be prudent.)
Spouses and partners dote on you, gladly delivering soup at 10 a.m. or antacids at 11 p.m. "My husband constantly rubbed and coddled me, and I ate it all up," says Liz Bustamante, a 39-year-old financial advisor from Forest Hills, N.Y., who has one child and is currently planning for the next. "And for the first time in my life, instead of feeling insecure about my body, I wanted to run around naked! I'd never felt sexier."' (Stephanie - keep your clothes on!)
Like this and have a need (craving? addiction?) for more? Here is the amazing link:

I was watching 'Meet the Press' this morning and saw this image on a clip recorded before or during the New Hampshire town hall meeting held by President Obama. Host David Gregory, normally a wimp on that show, asked the two republicans on his panel, former Congressman Dick Armey and Senator Tom Coburn, if the threats and fear mongering were getting out of hand. Both insisted that we need to understand where people like these protesters are coming from. Neither condemned the violence called for by this sign.
