    LOL Don't even ask me how many Animorphs books we have, or Nancy Drew (which she doesn't even read!), or Baby Mouse, or Captain Underpants or.... lol Then there are the figures and dolls she collects. sigh. Obsessions are so expensive. My nephew who is high functioning Autistic does it too with Cars and Thomas the Tank Engine. You know how when you buy one it comes with the little paper insert that shows all the other ones available to purchase. Yeah, he has to have them all. He has his birthday and Christmas wishlist written out until 2015!! :tongue_smilie:

    I'm all for dialogue about breastfeeding. I breast fed my son for over 5 years. I think it is so good for the baby and the mom too (reduced risk of breast cancer etc), but I still think the cover shoot with the "Are you mom enough?" headline was antagonistic, but I have to admit it did get people talking about it! hehe :p

    :iagree::iagree: I was thinking the same thing! :)

    Yeah it certainly got people talking! lol Reminds me a bit of the brujaja over the Tiger Mom when that hit. The mom's comments though in the Yahoo article really made me question her motivation for posing for that picture when she knew it was going to be controversial. Was she hoping to stir things up to get a dialogue going? or was it to stir things up for the sake of stirring things up? I agree with you that the ignorance is appalling out there, but even here on these boards I think the consensus was that the editorial presented attachment parenting, specifically extended breastfeeding, in a negative light. I guess only the mother herself knows her true motivations for participating in the photo shoot, but it does make me wonder if she has ulterior motives.

    There was another article about the mom on Yahoo today. Don't you just love Yahoo reporting? lol The title of the article says "Jamie Lynne Grumet Defends Her Time Magazine Breastfeeding Cover", but she never gives her response to the backlash of comments that were raised in the article, but she does admit that she knew exactly what she was doing when she posed for that picture.

    It's a nice post, but GAH!! the medical details were a little rough to read. :eek: :svengo: Oh that poor little girl!! I hope I don't offend you Dustybug, it's a nice blog post, but I just wanted to give a head's up to anyone else who is a little squeamish about those things like I am. lol The breastfeeding part begins in the fourth paragraph if anyone needs to skip ahead a bit. ;) :p hehehehehe
