Woah, deja vu all over again. This exact same attitude was displayed by
Canadian columnist Rebecca Eckler in "Knocked Up":
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345475755/qid=1134062747/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-8793959-7304005?n=507846&s=books&v=glance

It was appalling 'little princess' shlock, from the moment she
discovered the accidental pregnancy through the cross-Canada search for
an ob that would do an elective C-section to the decision to bottlefeed
("such cute little formula bottles!").

Truly cringe-worthy.

Its so odd. I used to read the National Post on Mondays just to catch
Rebecca's column. It was witty, funny, and she was pregnant the same
time I was. She was nowhere near what I would have called self-centered
or princess-y. But I have to admit, she didn't address any drinking,
smoking, or c-section issues. Of course, she would have to temper any
really inflammatory issues simply because of her medium.

What a selfish woman. She doesn't want to get up in the night. She doesn't
want strange things coming out of her breasts.
Why on earth is she having a baby in the first place? At least she admits
she's a moron.

Who WANTS to get up in the middle of the night?

It's not so much that I mind getting up in the middle of the night,
it's getting up on the morning afterwards to go to work. If I could
sleep in the next morning or take a nap during the day, it would
be OK.

I don't really MIND either, but I don't WANT to. Its just what must be
done.

That's why we have at least 6 mos of mater/paternaty leave, and most
have 12 mos :-)
