When Parenting Hits the News


There is so much going on in the world! I'm always reading news stories online, some of which are disturbing or sad, and some of which are enlightening and happy! Here you can post a link to a news story, share your views of it with minti, and maybe get into a deep discussion of what society is evolving into... you know, in that extra time you've got between changing diapers and blogging!

So... 14 children... all born from IVF. How is she going to take care of all these children on her own? I feel sorry for her poor mother. How long before she is on social aid? Probably not that long!

I read about this poor little boy and his family a few months ago. He had a mysterious problem where he couldn't sleep, ever. And we all know what happens when the little ones don't get enough sleep! Now, after the sugery, he's finally able to sleep. I'm so happy for him and his family!

Mom looses custody of children after smacking them on a plane is labeled terrorism

Her two children were arguing over the window shade on the plane. She smacks each of them on the leg, and is confronted by the air stewardess. Now she's in jail, labeled as a terrorist under the US patriot act, and her two children are in foster care where their foster parents have started adoption procedures.

This makes me really upset as to the state of the world today. Sure, maybe she shouldn't have smacked them on the plane, but does that make her a terrorist and deserving of losing her children?
