It was a labor of love, in more ways than one.

Poor Fella. Everything must be mom’s fault.

“When I was a fetus, I used to sneak out at night when my mother was sleeping. I figured I should start stealing stuff while I still had no fingerprints.” -Steven Wright

Yeah I went through that too. She just pushed and pushed for me to be born, and it was her fault that she got pregnant in the first place, but I love her.

The midwife pushed too.

Nobody likes a pushy broad.

when the therapist said, “start from the beginning” – he took it seriously

And now she’s probably trying to push you out of her basement and into a place of your own.

So what or who pushed him into coming here?

Trauma… ACHIEVED!

But everything came out OK in the end.

My mother pushed and pushed to get me out too.

So you’re a push over in life ?

I finally told me wife that her current problems were only the tiniest bit related to what happened to her when she was five years old and to save it for her therapist.

Then some guy, who I’ve never seen before, smacks my bare a$$.

Don’t you just hate pushy parents?

That’s why I became a psychiatrist…

Typical guy.

Then she kept pushing around, in your stroller.

Finally, I saw the light.
