Friday Fun Link – What Do Today's Parents Need To Know That Previous Ones Didn't? (March 7, 2010)

Seriously, I think I could start dedicating a day to an Ask MetaFilter Question o' the Day.  (I did ask a category for MetaFilter recently so that's part way there already!)  This one was particularly relevant – what things does a new parent today have to know about/worry about that previous generations didn't?

Gratitude: A Story of a Computer, Vomit and What It Means To Be A Parent

I linked to this from Facebook and posted it to Redit but thought I'd put it here for posterity as well since it's so good.  (And if I'm serious about a “Sentimental Sunday” recurring post feature, this fits right in!) Gratitude. (via Cathie From Canada)

If It Was Good Enough For Genghis (And A List of Controversial Topics)

Shea posted a hilarious anti-breastfeeding article pro-Nestle Fake Milk Formula to her Facebook status with the usual heavy response to anytime this type of topic comes up – from both pro-breastfeeding moms and those who weren't able to or aren't as worked up about the prevalance of formula in our society.  It made me think, […]

"Dumb Fucks"

Storytime v. Gymnastics

We've put Pace into a few different activities since he was about one year old.  We did a few weeks of swim class (basically, “get used to the water while singing repetitive songs” class) while still in Weyburn last spring.  Over the summer, we did no formal activities (unless “Chase Pace around the campsite” counts) […]

When Books Could Change Your Life

“A girl I once caught reading Fahrenheit 451 over my shoulder on the subway confessed: “You know, I'm an English lit major, but I've never loved any books like the ones I loved when I was 12 years old.” I fell slightly in love with her when she said that. It was so frank and […]

Dream of Consciousness

Tomorrow's a day off for the working world but for me, it's the first day of a full week off before I begin my new job.  I'm pretty excited to have the week even though I know we'll never get done everything that we want to do.  I mean, our list ranges from easy picks […]

Thank-you Grandpa and Grandma!

Today is my last day at work and it's hard to believe how fast the last year and a half has gone! When we were debating which job I should take back in the spring of 2007, this job in Weyburn seemed to make the most sense in so many ways.  But one question lingered […]
