I usually stay the heck away from parenting articles but there was a genuine honesty to this one. > "The women in these groups had bent over backwards to be welcoming"." People love to believe that mom's groups are full of snotty judgments and anti-vaxx sentimens which is rarely, if ever true > "My baby alone had the brilliant promise of profound intelligence shining out of his eyes." Shhh - we're not supposed to admit that! > "Every story about parenting has to do double duty as a story about how I am such a good parent." I am pretty impervious to guilt trips, but 90% of parenting articles are just flat out boring. I don't know why it can't be addressed with any sort of intelligence and introspection.
