It’s pretty easy to get worked up about the whole natural vs. drug-addledaided childbirth debate—or so I heard recently somewhere. But it’s also a subject that makes for potent video humor.
Up first is a familiar question: “Are Birth Classes Worth It for Dads?,” from the brilliant, highly professional dudes at DadLabs.com. (And I’m not just praising them because they wrote on Twitter that they liked us.) It’s amusing stuff, particularly the interviews with dads not-so-fondly recalling their birth-class experiences.
Next comes “We’re Having a Baby,” written and directed by my old college buddy Chris Boone. This short film takes the opposite tack, showing what happens when some dads take the whole birth-preparation thing too far.
Okay, enough chuckles. Now that you’ve had your mood lightened, it’s back to the Tantrum you go!
We did Lamaze the first time around. Of course the day my son decided to show up he came so quickly that we really didn’t use anything that we learned in class.
