Let's Panic About Pregnancy!

Grandmother_-_Albert_AnkerAs you are currently drunk on gestation-related hormones, as well as perhaps a snort or three of sherry, you may believe you married the perfect mate: a dreamboat whose body odor brings to mind freshly baked pumpkin pie; a gentleman who flirts with your grandmother; a specimen whose many talents include baking a Sacher torte from scratch. Naturally you want your baby to turn out just like him, don’t you?

You silly fools.

While I am sure your partner is "hot stuff," or whatever terminology you prefer, surely you are overlooking his many and varied flaws.

Click here to allow our guest columnist, Mrs. Robert G. Wrightson, to explain in great detail how you can prevent these flaws from being passed on to your fetus!

Let's Panic About Parenthood!

blaming_momPanic is underrated, but so is blame. Some things really aren't your fault! So why shouldn't the responsible parties face the shame they deserve for ruining your life? Winning the blame game can be a beautiful, satisfying experience, and no one knows that better than the survivor of a slightly less-than-perfect childhood.

In the currency of parenthood, blame and panic are two sides of the same coin. If a parent hasn't fully and successfully panicked about their child, the child will have no choice but to blame the hell out of her parents for every unforeseeable danger they failed to anticipate, control, and squelch. It's a simple law of numismatics.
