My husband is a former social worker and thinks every prospective parent, particularly the teenaged ones, should have to take beaucoup classes before they get PG. I'm newly past the raising kids stage.

While reading 'When good mothers go bad,' I felt I was in the company of a group of your friends who were giggling with tongue in cheek humor. The spontaneous home spun narrative style conveyed the emotional nuances fluently. <BR/><BR/>It is news to me that 'Baby Simulators' are used for certification in 'Mom Training.'<BR/><BR/>Moms do need a book like 'GUIDE TO GOOD PARENTING'; a book that acts like a Pediatrician at home and helps steer away from the clutter of [supposedly] authoritative, unsolicited advices when the new mother is confounded by a yelling baby. <BR/><BR/>I still cannot get over my surprise about the hands on 'Baby Management' training with high tech gadgets and certification for a girl of 15 years. The training would be ideal and I would make it compulsory for fathers, especially the 'low patience,' 'irritable,' 'no time' ones. Nurses in the Department of Maternity and Neonatal Care would benefit too.<BR/><BR/>Being a mother is a prerogative of the female kind. Infant care is quite a daunting task. Mother's instinct is honed in her entire being and is so sharp that it leaves no doubt that women are bestowed with eerie sixth sense about every thing. Anatomy and physiology of the cerebral hemispheres support this view. <BR/><BR/>The practical care of the infant that you narrated is in our life blood. 'Motherhood' is a distinctive gift a woman has.<BR/>Those parents who have no time to personally attend to and care for their growing child miss an unparalleled joy that no money can buy. <BR/><BR/>Thanks to the blogger team to bring me to your blog. The look and feel of your blog was no doubt soothing, but the first thing that happened was that your name sounded very familiar. I reckon it could be because of Margaret Mitchell who wrote 'Gone with the wind' and a colleague of mine who has similar name and we were probing to find the meaning/origin of the name at a conference meet. <BR/><BR/>May I have the permission to reproduce the post "When Good Mothers Go Bad," with due acknowledgment and link to your blog?<BR/><BR/>Best regards,<BR/>Dr. Ashok KopardayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-30967272965226786042008-04-30T20:31:00.000-08:002008-04-30T20:31:00.000-08:00That is SO cool!

They should definitely do that in the schools around here, and make them keep them 24/7 for a month, and program the babies to know when someone else picks them up. Although nothing could prepare you for 2 kids having nasty diaper blowouts in Burger King when the mother is down to 2 baby wipes and not enough extra clothes and had to put the baby in his sister's pink dress and "borrowed" wipes from every Mom in the joint, because you know it was the busy time of day. Not that I personally would know anything about that.
