One can't help but wonder who funded this kind of research (i.e. was it
biased?)...but my only thought with this was...if it were indeed true,
is it perhaps because more of us put household needs aside in lieu of
the (more important) baby's needs, thus not doing vacuuming, dusting
etc. if the baby is "needy"?
