I have been on hiatus from bloggin but I had to come out of the cave to vent about what I just saw on television! I was watching a tlc program "Baby Story" while eating a late lunch. I won't go through all the details of the show but it chronicled the events leading up to the delivery of a baby. This particular episode there was a young couple expecting their first child. Well the husband was adamently against his wife receiving an epidural during the delivery... WHAT? Now I am not from the school of thought that men should have no say so in issues of pregnancy and childcare. But this is a entirely different issue! This man thinks that he has so much control over his wife that he can tell her how much pain she must endure to have their child! I could not believe my ears. I do have to add a few hours into an intense labor his wife looked at him and said "listen to me. I can not take another minute of this. I am getting the epidural." and he just nodded. You Go Girl!!!!
