News Round-Up Jan. 16: Attachment Parenting Drop-Out, Golden Globe Highlights and Spying on the Sitter

What we’re reading today:

1. One mom’s story of going in for attachment parenting, and finding out what happens when she’s not as crunchy as she thinks she is and the most attachmenty of the attachment parents makes sure she knows it. It’s really too bad that one mom was so judge-y, sounds like a great group! Also, sounds like an episode of Up All Night.

2. OK, and it’s not super-parent-y, but we’re guessing some of you saw the Golden Globes last night? We continue to adore Michelle Williams and love that she mostly just shouted out her daughter with her acceptance speech and thanked her for letting her read bedtime stories in a Marilyn Monroe voice for six months. And speaking of thanking kids, we thought Peter Dinklage was pretty sweet to be stressed about his baby’s first night with a sitter. What were the other highlights for you? We liked anything Kate Winslet, Claire Danes’s dress and of course, Tina Fey’s nomination photobomb of Amy Poehler. (Poehler should have won!)

News Round-Up July 18: Parents and Their Kids’ Sports, How to Travel When Your Family Has Special Needs and Sunscreen Politics

What we’re reading today:

 

1. Is there anything funny about the way camp counsellors or fellow campers apply sunscreen? One Maryland camp sent home a sunscreen permission slip after the state sent out a memo about the DOs and DON’Ts of sunscreen application. So, is applying sunscreen to someone inappropriate or is it better to have your kid come home with a sunburn?

2. Do paraents get too into kids’ sports? One mom writes into the NYT Motherlode blog to say she’s discovered that there’s a lot of favourtism and unfairness going on in kids’ sports. (Plus a dad of a girl wants to punch Matt Lauer.)

3. Did you know Israel is the world capital for in vitro fertilization? And it’s free! (for two babies… sorry wannabe-Duggars who need a little help getting pregnant)
