The Parenting Apocolypse
Wow there is SO much “content” out there in the World (Wide Web) to inform, amuse, and berate today’s parent.
I mean, don’t get me wrong. Some of it is actually useful. Such as the answers to basic questions like “Which end is up, again?” “Will it ever stop pooping?” and the classic follow up, “Will the poop ever make it to the toilet bowl?”
The BEST part about parenting website, blogs, advice columns and books is the one inherent truth in parenting: all parents simultaneously feel like a big fat failure in child raising while also believing that they are 100 percent right about their parenting method.
So basically, reading parenting tips is like self-flagellation that has been outsourced.
The breadth of knowledge we have available only leads me to believe we might actually be approaching the end of the world, led by a pack of rabid Moms who all insist that Their Child is “Gifted.”
They will only shortly be followed by the Homeschoolers, Welfare Moms/Dads with More Than Four Kids, and Perpetual Playdaters.
Is it spring yet?
