Pregnancy and Childbirth in SL

I have to be honest, I don't really get it with the prim babies and the pregnant av's with talking bellies that tell them to eat or go to the bathroom or that the "baby" is kicking. There are even birthing options... You can get a water birthing room, complete with animations for mother, father, and doctor... for "only" $1850L. It's one thing to form an emotional connection with a REAL person who is behind the av's we deal with every day, and quite another to become attached to a 100% prim baby. I have already heard of SL relationships that have been permanently ruined by arguments over their partner not "paying enough attention to the baby" or "not helping enough with the baby" and I think it's kind of ridiculous. The "baby" is made up of nothing more or less than your furniture is. What's next? SL custody hearings and child support being demanded for "supporting" the prim babies left behind?

I'm wondering what you all think of this trend? Speak out in the comments section!
