"I adore my son, but (like parents everywhere) I discovered that the transition from child-free life is a major -- in some ways almost sort of shocking -- adjustment," Stossel told The Huffington Post. "So when I saw reports about this study showing how much new parents struggle, it struck a chord and inspired a few cartoon thoughts."
