Kids are being ‘wharehoused’? Hmm, that’s nothing new. Years ago they were shipped off to farms or boarding schools or wet nurses. The days of ‘child centered’ families and parenting are upon us and within the context of civilization, a relatively new concept.
Sadly, women are still fighting off the 1950′s ‘little mother’ stereotype, where a child’s every developmental glitch is seen somehow as the mother’s failing to be loving enough, attentive enough, stay-at-home enough, etc.
God forbid a women should have other interests beyond the household and perhaps, want to be valued for other things besides the ability to nurture and wipe noses.
