Additional Comments: OMG Robin, give it a break. Everything is about you and about your baby and about your decision to have a baby and if everything will go all right and if you should be doing it alone and if you should involve Patrick and that you were the first person to hold Michael when he came home from hospital and yadda yadda yadda, give it a break and stop making every freaking child related incident about you. Grow up already.
Freaking yeah! I wish the writers would see that they can write Robin and Patrick aas 2 normal people. Robin doesn't have to freak about about HIV and every pregnancy problem. It's getting to be a bit demeaning to women. They don't do this with other characters but she's so fragile in the face of her defiance?? Give me a break and jump into 2008 writers!!
I really like Scrubs but the incessant whining and repetitive stories bore me to tears. They have chemistry yet we see them argue, admit their love, and then a clip of them under the sheets. Let's see their chemistry explode on camera. You can have them argue but vary it up.
I'm going to cut her some slack. What else would she talk about at this point? That's what's happening in her life right now, so why wouldn't that be her main topic of conversation?
I have an old friend who is still single with no kids at 43. Frankly I think he'll never find anyone to live up to his completely ridiculous standards, but that's a whole other story. My point... he once told me that his sister never talked about anything else except her kids, which he found boring. And I remember thinking, well she has 4 kids, what else would she talk about? That is what her life consists of right now. I also remember thinking that listening to him go on and on about buying real estate wasn't all that riveting either. Why is it considered tiresome to talk about your kids, but not your dull as he!! job? Anyway...I digress...
Robin is finally facing the realities of pregnancy and babies and it isn't all baby showers and fun. It is scary as he!! to think that you are now responsible for another human being! And I personally can't imagine doing it without my husband who is seriously the BEST father I've ever seen. So I'm going to ease up on Robin for a while and let her vent.

Message: *shrugs* what else is she supposed to talk about? Everybody on the show has only one topic of conversation. Robin's pregnancy is a positive subject, which is probaby why it was written to lighten up the show alittle from all the death, violence and misery of the dominanting mob/Michael/dead Emily/Nik storylines.

Message: I guess that is the whole story with Robin, obsessing day after day about her pregnancy. Boring! It's funny how she goes on and on about her "bond" with Michael in his early life, but MIchael didn't even remember her when they had a conversation recently. I thought Carly would have bad mouthed her and/or Jason would have talked about her, since he was still fond of her.

Message: I realize the writers are over-emphasizing the first-time mommy aspect of this storyline for effect, but ITA with you -- yeah Robin give it a rest. You are not the first woman to ever give birth. Oh and Robin, during the entire time you were yammering on about wanted to be a mother -- did it not occur to you how the experience would be even harder as a single mother. At least with that doctor's salary you can afford to hire a full-time nanny.
