Went to a BBQ yesterday and had a hushed chat with a couple of mates. One is due his first baby in 3 months, the other is a father of 2 (roughly the same age as mine). We explored the idea that women lie about how much childbirth hurts (they’re told to when they have ‘the talk’ from their mother when they hit puberty) Why do they do this? It could be to preserve the ‘childbirth trump-card’ that they play whenever things aren;t going their way… The fact that we whispered this conversation rather than sharing it with the mums in the room is probably a fair indication of our true feelings on the matter but as conspiracy theories go, it;s not the most far-fetched…. anyone see the conspiracy theory that 7 World Trade Centre was destroyed as an insurance claim scam by controlled explosion on 9/11- that one cracks me up.
