I have to say this. I have to. I have a wee problem when nutters procreate. If you’re a nutter AND having a child, we are not going to be friends. Of course, it’s all my definition of who’s a nutter, a wacko, a loon. But if it makes you feel better in your insanity, just knowing that you’re crazy AND having a child nearly drives me to the brink of nutterdom, too.
Take Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. After standing on the shore, mesmerized by the sparkle, they finally took the plunge into Kook Lagoon a while back. They are now Officially Crazy AND they are having a baby AND we are not going to be friends.
Here’s the latest information I found on what Uncle L. Ron and the Church of Scientology expect from Katie when she gives birth:
— She is not to cry out or scream or make any loud noise in general when she’s in labor; this is bad for the baby.
— After the birth, 7 days of silence. This is good for the baby.
— Oh, and of course, OF COURSE, Katie will not be allowed any drugs during labor. Because that is no good for anyone, I guess.
Hope there’s no post-partum.
See what happens when you go swimming in the crazy?
I just read about this today too. Incredible, huh? I just love it when men try to tell women how to have babies or impose their strange logic on something that is primal and natural. You know, I don’t think it’s good for a baby if the laboring woman is under too much pressure to perform. I’m sure the stress of it releases hormones that are certainly not ideal for the baby, let alone the fact that keeping a mom from dealing with the pain of childbirth in the way that works best for her (and for a whole lotta women that would be screaming) can stall labor and endanger the baby’s very life. But go ahead Tom and Ron, share some more of your pearls with us. :::rolling eyes:::::
Tracey,
First off, I apologize (again) for the snarky remark on my last post – It was meant to be self-depreciating, and it came off looking/sounding other-mocking. I’m very sorry.
Second, I’ll paraphrase Max Prager (Dennis’ father) on this: You need a license to drive a car, but any numbskull can have a kid.
Steve — Thank you. I appreciate it. 🙂
i think also the baby can’t be spoken to or have any tests or medical procedures done in the first seven days. 🙁
poor lonely baby who may or may not need medical intervention immediately after birth!
Good gosh they’re wackos!
… you just… you know….. you’re glib…
