It was called "The Case for Having More Kids," so I thought I'd enjoy the article. But it took a strange turn. If I read it correctly, the writer basically argues that little that parents do matters with to respect to how a kid turns out. So you might as well have a bunch of kids and not try to supervise them well or educate them well or spend much time with them teach them values because it doesn't matter. I gotta tell ya. I don't buy it.
Apparently other readers didn't either. Here's a response by a guy named John J. Edwards III, who seems to be going to great pains to distinguish himself, by virtue of his middle initial and generational distinction, from the other John Edwards. I don't blame him.
The reader discussion that follows is interesting, too.
I picked up a cute book on parenting. Nothing heavy. Just some fun, practical suggestions on how to make motherhood a little more... oh ... doable. A little less... oh ... insane.
The book's called, I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids: Reinventing Modern Motherhood. I wish Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile had been writing when my kids were young.
