And she thinks she's qualified to pontificate to parents on bringing up their children? (a theme taken up in some of the comments on the article).<br /><br />I don't have any kids (I've reached retirement age so I won't be having any). I can't imagine any situation where I could/would feel it appropriate to offer advice to a parent on how to bring up their child.<br /><br />However there is, for me, one helpful point. I perceive this Gina Ford to be something of a control freak. Having that tendency myself, reading this article has helped reinforce my view that as a control freak I would not have made a good mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34128264.post-9353383426484854292010-01-10T02:15:34.711+00:002010-01-10T02:15:34.711+00:00Why do these people's drivel get published and...Why do these people's drivel get published and rise to such importance. There's something wrong in our society Caron that women can't help each other, talk to each other about the likes of breast feeding.<br /><br />Why are we letting complete strangers take over in such situations?<br /><br />I suppose it happened in my mother's generation too with Dr Spock and his ramblings. Maybe we should have mandatory post-natal classes.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.com
