As I’ve mentioned, we’re all sick.
That makes it okay to skip showering and eat with dirty forks, right?
I thought so.

Why French Parents Are Superior
You all keep sending me this article. I love when you send me articles.
And I get it, French parents are probably great. They don’t helicopter over their kids like the baby Einstein police or put up with any nonsense. The thing is, we love to obsess over other cultures’ parenting styles and act like if we only followed their behavior–our kids would be angels. Really we’re all trying to figure it out, right? I tend to agree with this chick.

Boobies.
This “Boobie Beanie,” available on Etsy, allows moms to feed their babies in any location, while appeasing public breastfeeding critics who think breasts should be used less for infant sustenance and more for Spring Break shenanigans.
(Thanks Emily)

Basically it’s sour cream, cream cheese, and all the fixings for tacos.
So really, it’s not that skinny.

I love the Boobie Beanie!
My dad was horrified.
Oh my gosh , that video reminds me of Christian the Lion. That is a tearjerker.
And congrats on your crawler.
Also I think you look pretty even in your awk photos. And I know you weren’t fishing, it’s just the truth of it.
Thanks, C. I love Christian the Lion.
Yes! to the chick and her response to the latest meme about some other culturally superior method of child rearing. Good grief. The book would make my friend Claire laugh. It’s not really “French” per se to understand that:
1) if your two year old SCREAMS for chocolate
and
2) You give him chocolate with a limp smile and an apology to perfect strangers in a park
3) He will assume that screaming for crap is a super effective method for getting what he wants
4) You will have one consistently screamy-whiny kid on your hands
5) Who is likely losing respect for you and your limp smile on a daily basis you big wuss.
EXACTLY. Amen. Thank you.
Ah! We have that boobie beanie!! The quality is fantastic. But of course as soon as I got it my child decided a nursing strike was pretty cool…and completely stopped BFig. But? It makes a pretty awesome hat:-)
You are awesome. Good try?
Friday Funny made me lol
So funny! Mostly because that is exactly me.
I love Christian the Lion.
Oh yes and loved fairy tales
Point proven.
I love the fairy tale sign!!!!! We are currently reading Wayside School stories by Loius Sacher. I never read them but they are fab!!! ( and the chapters are short! a bonus for cranky moms at bedtime!) The writing and the plots, you have to pay attention! And they are funny! we could NOT wait to read the chapter called Mr. POOPS!! (which btw stands for Professional Org. Of Playground Supervisors!)
Mr. Poops! Must get this book.
I wonder if French parents read fairy tales to their bebes.
I took Isabella to a mommy group thing when she was a baby. The host had a baby jail put up and all the other babies were happy to lay around in it like blobs. My kids? Lost her damn mind. That was one of the earliest clues that I was raising a different kind of child.
I’m really sad I didn’t capitalize French until my mom told me about it HOURS later. She didn’t want to make me feel bad. What? I feel worse not knowing. I’m sick! And even if I wasn’t, I’m not a perfect proofreader, tell me!
Anyways.
If Waylon tolerates a baby jail even a little bit, I’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
Actually, I liked the French article. I’m not obsessed with the French or Chinese, but I do like a calm life and I tell my children not to interrupt adult conversation unless someone is bleeding. Furthermore, most American parents I know act as if their kids will die if they don’t eat every time they think of it. Sometimes I’ve noticed that in delayed gratification, my kids forget the gratification because they’re absorbed in playing something else.
I agree, I just think that’s called *good* parenting and not French parenting.
Monte thinks the boobie hat is funny but says he wouldn’t let our baby wear it. I, however, LOVE it and would! :)
I would so buy your baby that hat.
i’m with you – i read that french vs american parenting article. blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
also, i think both our babies need that costume.
Twins!
That would be incredible.
