Got to tell you, I?ve never heard anyone compare breastfeeding to slavery before. That really bothers me.

Children who are read to by their parents score better on tests?that?s news? Lol I was pretty sure that was just basic common sense.

Read the article Tee- I think they translated what he was saying wrong, he definitely didn?t say it in a negative way he was just talking about how his wife was worried about having enough milk. Either way, people will think what they think about breastfeeding. You can?t let it get to you.
I agree Sarah LOL There has been a ton of hype on the benefits of reading to your kids since at least the 90s

I think my favorite ever toys growing up were my doll strollers! My brother (a year younger) and I used to spend hours out strolling our dolls up and down the street in matching green dinosaur strollers 
When my godson turned two I bought him the red and black version of the graco doll stroller pictured above (hate the pink? blah.) and he and his little sister ? now 5 and 7 ? have both loved and used that thing like crazy. One of the best $10 I?ve ever spent. Great toy for boys and girls!

I was bothered a bit by Nicolas?s comments about breastfeeding too?but not the slavery part. What bothered me is that he mentioned that, when women breastfeed, men are freed from the responsibilities of feeding because they don?t have to worry about bottles.
Well, newsflash for him, breastfeeding doesn?t automatically mean bottles aren?t part of the equation. Thanks to a little thing called a breast pump, it?s entirely possible for fathers of breastfed babies to give their babies a bottle from time to time! That comment seemed not only ignorant to me, but also like Nicolas was saying that it?s good for men when women breastfeed?because that means they don?t have to help out with baby duty as much. I can?t stand men who have attitudes like that!
Having said that, however, I realize that it could just be bad translation (i.e., the way his comments are printed in the article may not be the way he originally meant them, as another poster pointed out), cultural differences (maybe, for example, pumping isn?t as common over in France as it is here in the states), or some combination of the three. So I?m not judging him for what he said, just saying that his comments rubbed me the wrong way!

Okay, apparently I can?t count. Obviously I meant ?Or some combinaton of the two? not three! Whoops!
Anyway, about the other articles:
The reading one may not exactly be news, but I?m all for anything promoting reading making the news. I love reading, have ever since I first learned how to read (and enjoyed looking at books even before then!), and it saddens me that a lot of kids today don?t seem to be doing much of it. So yeah for promoting reading!
And the doll stroller story makes me smile. When I was six, I wanted a doll stroller more than anything. So, needless to say, I was overjoyed when my grandparents bought me one for my seventh birthday!

He?s the president of France, Anonymous #1. How much time do you think he?d spend on feeding the baby anyway?

Janna- Being president doesn?t mean you can?t be hands-on with your kids. President Obama is proof of that! I do see and understand your point, though.

Yeah, I read the article. I suppose it?s possible that it simply came across wrong with translation. The wording bothered me, that?s all. But I?ll admit that I?m pretty serious when it comes to slavery. I don?t like comparisons.
- Tee on
LOL? you think Obama is cooking for his kids three times a day?
