We’re going the wrong way!!!

Recently, I’ve read several articles and blog posts and facebook stuff that is talking about how horrible America is for not providing maternal leave — the “best” we have is 12 weeks unpaid leave following the birth or adoption of a child, or for a primary caregiver to take off of work to care for [...]
Here’s what I don’t like about a lot of kids’ videos…

The basic story line of far too many kids movies and TV shows is that you have a kid who is some form of brat — yells at his mom, lies to his dad, is sullen because he has to visit his grandparents, etc. — and then over the course of the movie, he is [...]
Art?
Posted by: Kathy on: January 9, 2009
This was too funny — a woman took photographs of some artwork her 22 month old daughter did (finger-painting or something like that), and showed them to an art director (without telling him who had done it. The art director was entranced, and put them in his show or gallery or whatever, as abstract art. [...]
Adoptive couples I know
Posted by: Kathy on: January 5, 2009
When I hear from abortion advocates who say that only white newborns are the only adoptable babies, I want to scream and laugh. From my small circle of friends and acquaintances, I know numerous white couples who have adopted many children who were not newborns at adoption and/or are not Caucasian. I’m going to write [...]
Cool videos!
Posted by: Kathy on: January 1, 2009
I’ll just link to the whole post over on RealChoice. The first video is of a kid who was born with spina bifida “wheelchairing” like some kids skateboard or bike-ride. Puts me to shame. Other videos are of other people who can’t walk, but are still a whole heck of a lot more athletic than [...]
Delaying vaccination may reduce risk of asthma
Posted by: Kathy on: December 19, 2008
A study was recently released (in April) that showed a much reduced risk of asthma when the first dose of the DTP vaccine was delayed by two months. Now, this was with the older DTP vaccine, not the newer DTaP vaccine. It remains to be seen whether the effect is similar with the current vaccine, [...]
Love this poem!

This is just too good.
Ode to National Infant Immunization Week: Stick It
I actually don’t mind green eggs and ham.
It’s vaccines I don’t like, Uncle Sam.
Too many children have paid the price
for harmful and deceptive immunization advice.
There is more to health than preventing infections
with dozens of toxic and dangerous injections.
You purposefully ignore all [...]
I gotta do something about this
Posted by: Kathy on: December 9, 2008
I know it’s probably normal, but I don’t remember it happening with any of the kids I’ve baby-sat, nor with my nieces and nephews.
My son is just now four years old, and has recently taken to acting out everything he sees while watching videos. I’m pretty particular about what he watches, but I’m going to [...]
My kids, the snakes
Posted by: Kathy on: December 4, 2008
No, I don’t really have snakes at all, especially as pets, and most especially would I not call them “my kids”! This is how my kids are like snakes:
When I make food, I expect my children to eat it, because I am not going to make something different for them to eat — that’s a [...]

My latest copy of Parents magazine came in the mail the other day, and I’m reading through it. It’s kinda like candy — not much substance but it gives me something to do — far too mainstream for me. Sometimes I get more enjoyment out of disagreeing with and/or arguing with an article or statement [...]
