My comment:
So those in positions of authority are legitimate targets, are they? Like - for instance - I don't know, say newspaper columnists when the Internet turns their pontifications from one-way sermons of wisdom handed down from on high into a two-way exchange where their laziness, poor research, lousy understanding of the world beyond their self-contained metropolitan enclave and so forth are exposed to the world.
Oh, and while we are here maybe they shouldn't raise such a big fuss about the - sometimes - robust language they get back in the comments - after all, language is dynamic and ever changing, isn't it?
Righty ho - thanks for that.
Nursery may be harming your child
My comment:
I have been a stay-at-home husband, househusband - whatever you will - for a long while now (our eldest is now 18). When the kids were young opposite the house where we used to live was a private day nursery. I am just so glad that no matter how hard we have had to struggle to get by on a single income (and sometimes it was very hard indeed - cue 4 Yorkshiremen sketch)we never had to resort to a place like the one I could see over the road.
While I'm here, another Guardianista-annoying factette, despite our kids turning out pretty good with me looking after them, I am still convinced that they would have turned out even better if their mother had been the one to look after them rather than me. In short, motherhood is NOT a cultural construction, no matter how much you would like it to be.
