[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why oh why would the Post run such a sexist, mean, pointless "op-ed." He better do one for Father's Day. For instance, when high schools create activities and require parents to bring food, decorations, etc. and of the 10 families on the team, 7 women sign up, make food, buy ballons, etc. and not a single man, why isn't this a problem? Maybe if fathers did a tenth of the parenting that mothers do, we wouldn't all be batshit crazy by the time they get to college. [b]If you are a woman and a mother, this horrid piece of "writing" should do nothing but infuriate you.[/b] [/quote]

Actually the opposite. I am a mom and I have a senior soon to head to college and I am proud of myself for not being one of these kind of mothers (and proud of my husband for not being one of those kind of fathers). We make are share of mistakes raising our kids but we do not suffocate them.

PP you sound so angry and I feel badly as many years ago when I battled depression I knew that feeling. It is tough to live life so angry.[/quote]
