When my wife nursed our children, a calm came over her like a drug. No matter what else was going on, as the baby began nursing, the calm seemed to ascend through her, and all was peaceful and happy.

The strangest thing is that it happened to me too. As the calm came over her, it came over me too--a sympathetic reaction. It was beautiful.

I wouldn't take anything for that experience.

If the government and people that do these types of studies would stay out of our lives, the world would be a better place. It amazes me that the world has progressed so far without these people.

“The strangest thing is that it happened to me too. As the calm came over her, it came over me too—a sympathetic reaction. It was beautiful.”

Works with bottle-fed children, too.

But it was because the baby was not crying and my wife and I were splitting a nice wine.

Chortle. Thanks for saying this RC2, so I didn't have to bother. Have a great day!

Nice to know that a scientist occasionally finds out something that is in in conformity with our nature.

“We then wonder why men aren’t more involved in their children’s lives.”

I believe Jennifer Aniston is on record as saying women don’t need men to start families. Unfortunately, there are millions of women who agree with this brainless statement.

I was present for the birth of each of our three girls, the first because the Mrs. insisted. The next two, because I wanted to be there.

Rocking with a little bundle of joy while your wife recovers has no equal either.

Once, however, I was stepping out of the shower when my wife handed me the baby and she immediately latched on to an empty nipple of mine. It was like a little vacuum cleaner-- not a sensation I'd ever care to repeat. But I guess it is different when you actually have something to give.

I was present at the birth of all my children. I wouldn’t take anything for that either. I think it strengthens bonding. I loved it.

I loved that part too!

Being with my wife and baby as they nursed was beautiful--wonderful--and unforgettable!

Being present at the birth of the children was too!

So was their conception!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

When Mama's happy, everybody's happy. Or is it the converse?

Men discipline better...especially with normal boys.

Women nurture better...a man ain’t got a nice warm bosom to hold ya as a little feller with a scratched knee.

Modern parents prefer to dismiss all this.

Not me...I’m raising my kids old school.

Most women don’t understand normal boys. On the other hand, my wife thinks I’m too easy on my daughter, so I guess it goes both ways (what my wife doesn’t understands is how I treat my daughter is a reflection of how I treat her, but I’m not going there, lol).

My 12 year old daughter may someday be an actor as everyday is drama with a capital D.
