Here’s a review of Seven Myths of Working Mothers ($US orders)

No wonder children are growing to adulthood with serious misconceptions about commitment and attachment! The most important people in their lives, parents – and particularly mothers – are being taught that leaving their children should become easy and natural. In 7 Myths of Working Mothers, Suzanne Venker examines why increasing numbers of mothers are entering the workforce, and how this decision resonates in their children’s lives.

Another sickening but common story of a mother missing the best years of her kids’ lives.

Nat’s just 2 but she’s already “graduated” from the junior to the senior room at daycare.

2 and graduating?  What the hell are we doing to our kids?

This room is where both Nat and her older brother Will, 4, entered society as independent beings. And it’s where Mom had to let go. The teachers here held Nat and Will as they cried when they adjusted to Mom returning to work.

It’s where Nat and Will learned how to sit in a circle, how to stand in a line, be respectful of others (no biting and hitting) and how to dance.

This is where the kids will learn the skills that mommies are supposed to teach their kids.

I love how she glosses over the crying as Mom returns to work.

More proof that daycare is not meant for babies.

Australian psychologist and author Steve Biddulph has concluded that daycare damages babies’ brain chemistry and affects social and emotional development.

Seems a waste to study this, since it’s really common sense, but what the heck, the SAHM camp needs all the ammo it can get in the tidal wave movement to kennelize kids.

They may be isolated cases, but some daycare stories sure are disturbing.

A day-care centre in Laval has fired two workers after a child was left inside after closing time.
