This Belgian commercial uses a zippy video game format to warn teen girls about the drudgery of mothering a newborn. It reminds me of the new baby feature in The Sims. I must have had at least three simulated babies taken away by a simulated child welfare worker before I understood just how much attention the baby was supposed to receive from its simulated parents. (That is, constant attention... to the point of physical collapse.) And I was in my 30s when I first played the game. Here's hoping I clue in a little faster with my own real baby. Thanks to Andi for the link.
