"A woman with one child just worries four times as much about the one as the woman with four children, and it all comes out even." What does make a difference is age. None of his patients were under 20, but many were going on 40. "The nervous system can't take so much after 30, and two hours of screaming is bad enough at any age, but after 36 it is unbearable...
