My imagination is doing a pretty good job of describing to me the tasks of parenthood. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be up to the ordeal! Plus, I've never had any sort of interest in babies or small children. I don't really find humans interesting until they are capable of grasping nuances in arguments. And that's generally not until at least the early teenage years!

I've also read ... fascinating sociological accounts on pregnancy and childbirth. *shudder* They're quite descriptive.
