I'd buy it :)

seriously??? I thought she was peddling this horse shit the reason all those people peddle horse shit (Blossom, Tiger Mom, Princeton Mom): to make a buck. Pregnancy books and their sanctimonious bullshit got me off all advice books. No one should write a parenting book until their kids are 30

oh god. This stinks of class privilege. As a daycare worker (toddler room specifically), I eye roll so hard. I'm all for working with parents and trying to be consistent with how they want their kids to be raised but I would never ever try to focus on one kid, with at least 6 others running around, to make sure they…

It is irresponsible, and unkind, to state as fact that vegans/"kind" mamas have a lower rate of postpartum depression without any factual basis; it clearly implies that different choices (veganism) would have helped lead to a different outcome (no depression). And as someone brilliant said higher up, the plural of…

And this is why I'm not a parent...

That gif just made my life.

My main issue with the pre-chewing thing is that at least 9 times out of 10 I'd forget to pass it over and just eat it myself.

Basically if you're (even a little bit) famous with a body attached to your neck, then you can write a book about it.

Saying that vegans/kind mamas have a lower rate of postpartum depression is not the same as victim-blaming other women for being suicidal. And calling her "hysterical" for criticizing vaccination schedules seems uncalled for, especially when she also noted that there have been no studies backing up the negative…

why is she even writing these books? does she have any qualifications? i have a kid and she is pretty awesome, so i must be THE GREATEST MOM EVER. i will write a book. except it will have practical advice, like "if you child won't stop kicking things, threaten to chop their feet off." or "make sure you put whiskey in…

I'm quite open to listen to and even consider almost any parenting idea out there, but I seriously don't think I will be becoming my child's slave. Of course they need nurturing, care, attention, and reinforcement, but I will be DAMNED if I quit life so I can stay home and wait for my baby to make a shit face or chew…

I realize it's unkind to have vein-popping rage at another person, so I would love to sit her down and explain to her that most of my family, friends, and acquaintances would describe me as a kind, loving, nurturing mother. Not Kind™, mind you, but the general gentle mother sort. I co-slept, I exclusively breast fed,…

I am not a mother myself, so perhaps I technically should not be commenting on how to raise one's child. However, I don't understand this anti-vaccination trend. It does not seem to be backed up by any genuine medical or scientific facts. This also seems to be celebrity driven. Lisa Bonet was one of the first to…

Look Alicia...Can I call you Alicia? Okay Alicia, when you go to medical school and graduate, do your residency and get a few years of real life doctoring under your belt THEN you can feel free to give medical advice and shame other people for the choices that they make.

I... no. Where to begin? First of all, it's not "the blues". It's DEPRESSION. It's real. And Swiss chard ain't gonna cure, or prevent it and shame on you for claiming (backhandedly or otherwise) that non-vegans bring it on themselves. And if you don't actually have to WORK, then sure, follow your kid around as…

For the life of me, I don't know why we take any kind of life advice from celebrities.

Alicia might mention that she's married to one of the wealthiest men in America. I'm certain this has shaped her views of ease somewhat.

Well, sure, she's rich, pretty and made a moderately entertaining movie based on someone else's idea 150 years ago. Seems like the person I would first go to for advice on obstetrics and behavioral science.

Oh.... well, anecdotal evidence. Okay then. Science be damned. Glad we've cleared that up.

However. Back-handedly blaming suicidal mothers for their own illnesses because they didn't eat enough rainbow chard—in flippant terms like "though it's less common among kind mamas, some women experience the blues after giving birth"—is shockingly tone-deaf and not very "kind" at all.
