....first-time motherhood is a one-way ticket back to high school. You remember high school . . . that place where there were one or two ways to be cool and five thousand ways to be a loser, and no one hesitated to tell you to which group you belonged?
I don't agree with much of what the above author has to say, but it was interesting reading nonetheless. She is not particularly enchanted with Dr. Wm. Sears and his parenting philosophy. I still agree with Dr. Sears in many ways though time and experience has taught me that homebirth, prolonged nursing, co-sleeping, baby-wearing etc. are no guarantee of perfected children and blissful family life. I can only think that things could have been worse....much worse.
