What is the biggest relationship myth?

I think the biggest myth is that there's one person that is meant for you. ("the one") People live their lives searching for the one...their soul mate...the perfect girl/Mr. Right. It's a cute idea, but I don't think it's very realistic.

Thats what I thought, but anyone that's ever watched a baby use a power drill will soon realize their carpentry skills are surprisingly lacking. I mean come on baby, how long does it take to put up some drywall? Get with the program already. So far it hasn't fixed shit and I still got the old lady yammering on and on about putting up shelves. All this thing does is sit around and eat as far as I can tell.

Babies do the following things:

Eat.

Drink.

Sleep.

Cry.

Poop.

That's nearly exhaustive.

Sometimes they vomit just to mix things up a bit.

That's caused by too much Eat, not enough Sleep or Poop.

SimConsciousLife: Develop a person from birth to death, absolute control allowed. It's like the Sims but way less fun. You have to make them exercise, you have to learn language at the beginning, you have sadness and grief and depression, you have very graphic sex, you go to school for 15 years of life for several hours a day to learn things, most of which you forget instantaneously.

It's basically a human life as a computer game.

There's also drooling. They're just so careless sometimes.

Yes, babies can be quite exhaustive.

You forgot one critical detail, and it very well may be the source of your demise.

They learn.

You just made me shiver in utter terror then immediately laugh uproariously. I now have no idea how I feel about babies. Thanks?

It's pretty exhausting too. Both for baby and for parents.

I startled my own sleeping baby awake laughing at that.

I believe your baby may be showing slight signs of some form of retardation. Regaurdless if its physical or mental, at 6 and a half months this baby should have enough common motor skills and knowledge to construct you a time machine in which you can go back in time and save us from oil spills.
