[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And another thing, OP.  This is just the beginning of the drama; think of this email as the opening credits.  You can decide to be an active participant or watch from a safe distance or not attend the play.  Choose wisely, as the first act/year is going to be an ever increasing series of emotional events and attention grabbing headlines.  Believe me.

Parents like this are and will be completely flummoxed by parenthood; it is as if they have birthed the Christ child and there will be rules, standards, careful studies and research done on every aspect of babyhood.  You will hear each and every detail and problem (and oh, they'll be so many problems) and they'll drone on and on about the issue of the day continually.  Parenthood is their all consuming project and they are not interested in your opinions or insights.[/quote]

I totally agree.  This is only going to get worse.  I knew it was going to be bad when you mentioned that her birth plan didn't go as she wanted it.  Did she really have a difficult pregnancy?[/quote]

I mean, she had morning sickness and was tired towards the end.  It wasn't fantastic, but I know of a handful of people who had these magical wonderful pregnancies.  She totally romanticized it all, and didn't realize she'd feel like shit for the first and third semester.[/quote]
