Read other letters about this article
Forgot to mention, while I didn't think it was a "great" article, I did find it interesting - and not because I can identify precisely with the author's subject matter. I don't have children, and, at 47, I'm not too likely to ever have any. But, that doesn't mean I have no interest in parenting topics or other topics that are outside my own experience. In fact, learning about other perspectives is, in my opinion, the rationale and benefit of reading such articles in Salon. If I only cared about me,me,me,me, I wouldn't need to read at all; I'd just sit in front of a mirror all day and contemplate the miracle that I am ;-)
Salon publishes so much that I have time to read only a very few articles, so I appreciate the range and diversity of the subjects addressed on this site.
I also appreciate the new format that allows for the quick posting of any and all opinions, even the flaky ones such as from the whiners complaining about whiners. They tell a lot about human nature, and, like someone said, it's amusing to read them. I don't think those letter writers who are the source of our amusement realize just how ironic and funny they are - and that's what makes it so amusing!
