[quote=Anonymous]The article was fine. She didn’t name any names. I’m not sure why she felt the need to share an article though… she knew it would blow up and cause drama, right? So that makes it suspicious to me…

Anyway, when I had my first and was in a mom group, minor drama developed around the preschool years. We lived in San Francisco so there were varying levels of wealth and privilege and lots of older parents with idealistic views on education. I had one friend go deep into Waldorf, which made her sound cultish and she became very judgy of the rest of us and opted out of normal activities like a movie theater singalong. She also confessed to shaking her toddler once, probably because she had such strict requirements for parenting that she never gave herself a break like the rest of us who would let the kids watch tv once in awhile.

Another friend was a Waldorf wannabe and rich mom wannabe and often felt left out like Ashley Tisdale’s character. As her friend listening to her, I felt like she caused the issue herself by trying to hang on to people who were exclusive and cliquey by nature.

The preschool years, everyone split because everyone ended up with a different educational philosophy. Language immersion, Waldorf, Montessori, moms who went back to work and needed full time care, etc… [/quote]
