Comment on Department of WIN: Polarn O. Pyret by Lina

The price tag… Well, in Sweden this is a very well-known and much loved brand and everyone knows they’re high quality. So, basically, here it goes that when you have your first child (not that you need to have more), parents usually “stock up” on PoP clothes and because they’re so unisex, the children to follow (again, if there are any to follow) will also wear them. So, sure, thirty quid might seem like a lot, but split that between two or three kids and you’re down to ten or fifteen. Of course, that doesn’t help you when you’re standing there, about to pay for them…

Also, it’s very common to get hand-me-downs from friends and family, worn by heaven knows how many kids, so bottom line is, yes, it’s more pricey, but you’re paying for quality AND equality.

Comment on You’ll never truly be “child free” by LovingtheCFlife

Angry much?
Whoever said all CF ppl hated kids? Talk about generalizing. Then by that logic I could say all parents are fat and lazy who let their kids run around and not care what they do. But I know that isn’t fair to good parents.
And yes, we’ve all heard the same arguments time and time and time again (You were a kid once too…I’m glad you aren’t having kids….) Believe me, we are not phased by them. If anything we should be angry….society treats you like a leper if you say you don’t want children, as if you are not allowed to make choices for your own life.
Just remember this: most parents don’t like any kids except their own in the first place and your kid has just as good a chance of growing up to be childfree also.

How ironic… the author accuses all the child-free of tarring all children with the same brush.
You are guilty of the very same tarring with the very same brush

Comment on Ninth Carnival of Feminist Parenting by Why I don’t believe that sleep training is incompatible with children’s rights « Parenting Myths, Parenting Facts

Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:42:02 +0000

[...] A few months ago, one of the featured posts was an anti-sleep training polemic. Just Let Her Cry started out with a fictional first-person tale of an ill and depressed woman shut in her room by her husband every evening when it suited him regardless of whether she was hungry, in pain, or just not tired. The author then drew her analogy between this and controlled crying or other forms of cry-it-out (CIO) sleep training, which she referred to as ‘neglect with a different name’. She claimed, inaccurately but ominously, that scientists everywhere knew the short and long-term consequences of CIO to be ‘vast’, and was scathing in her condemnation of parents who’ve tried sleep training: ‘They aren’t setting out to harm a child, but that doesn’t change the fact that they are. Argue with me all you want. Say “I let my baby cry it out, and he/she is fine”. I don’t believe you. I believe you broke your child like an animal. I believe they gave up. They didn’t magically learn to “self-soothe”, they just figured out that you suck at being a parent at night time.’ This wasn’t a discussion of feminist parenting; this was a no-holds-barred shot in the Mommy Wars.
