"Am I missing the point of this article? This is not a 'Dear Cary' letter. She is not looking for advice. This is simply 'a day in the life' type chronicle of one woman's struggle with her newborn.
As I am about to embark on a marriage and hopefully parenthood, I found this letter interesting and assumed the intent was to be enlightening that not all is perfect in the early days of motherhood."

The advice comes from those of us who have ALL been there before and are trying to communicate a point: Parenting is not a problem that one has to struggle against with all of their being. Unless one has a baby with special needs or is a person suffering from a disorder, parenting is not a problem. It is a challenge and a fairly routine one at that.
I am appalled at the way the author takes the everyday obstacles of caring for a helpless person and makes it into some frightfest. There are, as myself and others stated, so many other ways to cope that having a tantrum in the street is really beyond the pale.
