As a stepparent of a kid with learning disabilities, it’s really frustrating to hear this talk of how “parents just want their babysitters back.” I don’t want or need a babysitter. But I have a kid that no one in my house is in any qualified to teach. I’m not saying 100% in person…
Since there's a significant income disparity between my partner and myself, we pick a percentage of our weekly pay that we can spend on each other. So the dollar amount isn't the same but the ratio is.
We both went overboard this year. Oh well.
"You all just heard from someone it was a good idea." You're totally right. It's a completely spur of the moment decision because Jenny down the street did it and we want to fit in. Has nothing to do with peer reviewed studies or the advice of pediatricians.
Nothing in this article is "having a pop at white people." There is nothing wrong with celebrating differences. The fact of the matter remains that you, as a white man, can't understand the feelings and experiences of Black Americans. Nor can I as a white woman. But I do know that…
So not only is this article needlessly condescending and downright cruel, it's also not helpful in the least. No suggestions of technique or product to help readers avoid their own "fails." And let's be real, very few of these are fails. Most are barely even missteps.
"I felt very still and empty. The way an eye of a tornado must feel, moving dully along in the middle of the surrounding hullabaloo."
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
