Nature Can Be Cruel

It’s no secret that prior to and after childbirth, most mommies’ hips spread a bit. Even those who are successful dropping back down to their pre-pregnancy weight, or loosing even more, few witness a hip transformation akin to their teens and twenties.

Dads also typically suffer a certain amount of weight gain, whether as “sympathy gain” or love handles born from too many late nights or meals of macaroni and cheese.

It happens to most of us; you have kids and the rear-end spreads.

So it stands to reason that nature has a cruel sense of humor. For after creating these progeny, one of the rewards is a parent spends a lot of his or her time flaunting the result of this little bundle of joy.

What do we mean? Think about it; next time you’re in a parking lot, dropping off your child at daycare, going to a park, or some other family friendly institution, check out your fellow parents. What do you see? Nothing but a bunch of fat fannies poking out of car doors, as the parents strap in, belt up and secure the little ones for another ride in the car.
