"Have you ever noticed that some guys get extremely tweaked when their wives get pregnant? You should really know about this if you&amp;amp;#8217;re ever going to have kids&amp;amp;#133;I&amp;amp;#8217;m warning you people, those of you who are thinking about having children while in a relationship with a man: think hard about it. Because the man you knew, the man you fell in love with, or at least liked enough to figure, hey let&amp;amp;#8217;s combine our DNA and make something, may not be the man who&amp;amp;#8217;s sitting next to you in birthing class. He might turn into touchy yoga teacher guy. Or creepy over-supportive guidance counselor guy. Especially in birthing classes. Something kind of unholy happens to men when they are in birthing classes. I was in birthing class last week, and I didn&amp;amp;#8217;t like what I saw. Men were always petting their wives, stroking their hair like they were injured teddy bears who had to be nursed back to health, looking really earnestly into their eyes, saying very hokey stuff like, &amp;amp;#8216;You&amp;amp;#8217;re a strong and magical woman.&amp;amp;#8217; Someone really said that. Now, listen, I&amp;amp;#8217;m all for affection and earnestness and strength and magical powers. But it&amp;amp;#8217;s just that men go a little overboard. It&amp;amp;#8217;s like they feel they have to be public about it. It was just a little too intimate, and maybe a little too fake. Blossoms leaned in to me in the middle of class and said, &amp;amp;#8220;Man, I&amp;amp;#8217;m glad you&amp;amp;#8217;re not petting me like I&amp;amp;#8217;m dying of consumption in the 1800&amp;amp;#8217;s.&amp;amp;#8221; Do you know men who are like this? Who feel like they have to turn into a completely different person because they&amp;amp;#8217;re fathering a child? What&amp;amp;#8217;s that all about? And do you find it as unattractive as Blossoms did? P.S. T-minus one month until baby-time! Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
