Oh, give poor Atticus a break. I took his 90% comment to mean "don't give up because for most women it gets really easy even if at the beginning it seems it never will." And I never took his pain relief during labor posts to be as polluted with superiority as many of the rest of you did; I simply saw it as general philosophizing about the apparent cultural desire to pretend that all pain and sacrifice relating to parenting can be reduced to a barely perceptible level.
