alpha mom TV?
Tell me no. Please tell me no. When will the race to be the perfect-mother-with-the-perfect-child end?!? Please read this article, and DO NOT tune into Alpha Mom TV! The author of the article likens Isabel Kallman and her new show to Martha Stewart and her perfectionistic homemaking venture.
To all you moms out there: trust your instincts. People have survived and thrived for thousands of years without all the books, classes, parties, preschools, etc. God has given you all you need to raise a loving and competent child. You have a heart and a brain, don't you?

I saw something about that on the cover of Time Out New York. This is a great post countering that sort of attitude. Sorry, don't know how to link in comments - you'll have to cut and paste.

WOW...where do these people come up with this stuff?!
I am just so thankful that my goal is not, as they put it, "to GROW a PERFECT child", but to lead my sweet child to the only one who IS perfect...boy am I glad I have Him on my side!
If I ever become one of these moms, I am counting on "the village" (I use "village" in the sense of my friends and family and church, not my armada of hired child care specialists) around me to shoot me with a tranquilizer dart.
