Bombastic Mendacity

Think I figured out why divorce is so prevalent.

On the plane back to the other side of the pond, I was sitting beside a Mother and her 13 month old infant Ethan. The thing was in a crib in front of us and was trying to crawl out constantly so that it would fall and crack its head open and I would look like an asshole. After three hours of baby watching I fell asleep, exhausted. Long story short, I got a tourists view on how, YES, life does completely change when you have a child. It's a complete loss of freedom.

Now, if you're married with children, if you want to get back half of your free time, just get a divorce. You end up splitting the parenting duties and getting some actual fucking time to yourself. Is it that simple?

I'm surprised the divorce rate isn't 99%.
