* The general tone of "Adam Ruins Having A Baby". Instead of ruining the good things, Adam focuses on disproving stuff that generally makes you worry when you have a baby. You don't have to have kids before 35 (or ever), you don't have to breast feed, and you don't have to fall in love with your baby instantly. Every family story is different, and you have to do what best for your baby.
