For Safety’s Sake
By raincoasterRead and learn, people. Read and learn.
In the vast spectrum of parenting books available, a handful stand out as classics.
Safe Baby Handling Tips is one of them.
Seriously, seriously. You do not want to get that wrong!
Includes the wonderful “responsibility spinner,” sure to see a great deal of use at three in the morning. See also: Safe Baby Pregnancy Tips! I can’t wait for the Safe Teenager Handling Tips edition to come out. What would you use to handle a teenager safely? Tongs? Forklift? The Jaws of Life? Pentagram?

I am against teaching about birth control in school (really - I would not want my child rolling a condom onto a banana in health class), but perhaps some people need to know how to prevent parenthood. Although someone dumb enough to think that a man can breastfeed is also probably too dumb to get the condom on properly.

Are we talking about the same books?

That spinner? Never would have worked at the Glinda household.

I read an article about the Law of Parent-Child IQ Equivalence; it was an interesting theory. The idea is, a baby takes so much time and attention that the LAST thing you need is a brain filled with ideas, so after birth the parents’ IQs drop so that they can endure those long conversations about whether the poopy was yellower today and who fed him the corn without going completely insane.
