With you everywhere but the babywearing bit. Especially in an urban environment, strollers are a downright hassle. Unless and until the kid's too heavy to carry comfortably, it way easier to just strap 'em on your back and go about your business virtually unencumbered than it is to spend the whole day wrestling with a glorified shopping cart.

- bunderbunder 10y agoGenetic fallacy, yo. Even if you're not fond of attachment parenting, that doesn't imply that everything attachment parents like is a bad idea, or even that things that attachment parents like are primarily only popular with that subculture.
