[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I found those examples with five minutes of googling, and I'm sure I could have found stuff almost word for word off the email if I had looked longer or had better Google fu. I'm saying this sort of advice is NORMAL now, new mothers hear it all the time. I heard it myself five years ago when I read mommy blogs. I didn't take it, but I read it frequently. Your standards may not be changing, but other people's are, and it seems weird to point and laugh at this one mom when it is not really that uncommon, like seeing someone in a fedora. [/quote]

Yeah, well, DCUM is uptight, neurotic, modern parenting CENTRAL, and if most DCUM-ers think this email and the restrictions it contains are completely over the top, then they are.

I agree that the internet has been a nightmare for intense, anxious parents who are more likely to parent from a place of fear than previous generations.[/quote]

Yeah, you're right that DCUM usually sort of has its finger on the pulse of parenting trends -- moreso than me.  I'm really confused about why this is not something you have heard of before. Surely others here have heard of this and are just keeping quiet?  Seriously I had my baby five years ago and was hearing about housework requests of visitors then. [/quote]
