"watching women such as myself slip into an increasingly disheveled state of hysteria for years after childbirth and vowing not to follow suit."

It's a hell of a lot of work. My mini-me's are pretty cool, but holy crap. That's where my life energy has gone. Other people.

Sorry about the hysteria. It's not that much better on this side. Putting energy into your offspring is the natural way of things. I think these times are just hard on everybody, no matter what they're trying to do.
