John Rosemand.

One of our local papers picks up his syndicated column, and the more I read his stuff the more I like what he has to say.

Here is an excerpt from the one I just read, with a link to the rest....

"I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the 1960s to be over and done with. That destructive decade has ruled American parenting for 40 years and pretty well ruined it in the process.

Before the '60s, parents sought child rearing advice from their elders.
Since then, parents have sought advice from a professional class--which is to say, people like me.

Courtesy of Dr. Joyce Brothers (Spock had nothing to do with it, really) we so-called "experts" were able to convince the American parent of a truly absurd proposition: to wit, that a 35-year-old who possesses a graduate degree in child psychology, has been married for five years and has one child, age 2, knows more about children and how to raise them properly than an 85-year-old woman who never finished the eighth-grade but who raised 10 kids into successful adulthoods. Like I said, absurd.

Well, I've tried twice and the linky thing refuses to work, so here it is to copy and paste...

Edit #2: Good grief??? I use the websites linky thing and it doesnt work, but then I ignore it and simply put the link up there...and it turns into a link!!!

Go figure.

Anyway, any of you all like Rosemonds stuff like I do?
