She blames their highly drugged state with never having actually bonded with him.
I don't think that was a problem for my mom and brother, thank goodness. Pretty sure she had me the next year with no meds at all, though. (And she still says I was the easiest one!)

(Honestly, reading all the various "Thank goodness we don't do THAT anymore!" comments - mostly by men - on Facebook and Twitter today is making me cranky, because, hi, YES WE DO. We have less damaging drugs today than we did in the 60's, but the infantilization of pregnant woman and medicalization of childbirth is still very much the norm.)

My mom was asleep for all 4 of us. My giving birth was the first live birth she had ever seen. She did bond with all of us just fine.

Can't argue that point. Of course, there must have been other contributing factors, but my friend really thought the drugs had an impact in her particular case.
