My latest Mile High Mamas post is a rant about my kids’ reading homework. I contend it kills the desire to read and encourages laziness. I also gripe about the trend of teachers and principals doing wacky things to get kids to read. Reading is it’s own reward, no? Anyway, please leave me your thoughts and let me know if I am way off base for moaning about this issue. It is a huge source of stress in our home these days. *1,000 clicks over there, minimum A “Top” obstetrician claims husbands/fathers should not be allowed to witness childbirth. The inclusion of men in labor and delivery in the last 35 years or so is responsible for longer labors, more interventions, and the increase in c-sections. He makes some pretty outlandish claims about how damaging it is for men to see a human emerge from his wife. What do you think? If your husband was present at the births of your children, does he report having the sudden urge to hit the pubs or move to Rome? The article can be found here. It is the Daily Mail, which makes any article a little iffy—but they are always entertaining and often thought-provoking. I was messing around with some sidewalk chalk on our patio. I have an idea for a future header, so I wrote LIFENUT in an obnoxious shade of purple. As I prepared to snap a picture, Sam looked over my shoulder. “I know what that says. It says LIH-FEN-UT.” “LIH-FEN-UT?” I answered. “It must be French? Like the French word for piglet, which is porcelet.” He walked away, leaving me to consider if he was the only one who reads my title that way. Plus, where did he learn the French word for piglet? Yes, dear readers. All this time you’ve been wrong. LIFENUT is simply the French word for PATHETICALLY GRASPING FOR THINGS TO WRITE ABOUT. |
