It’s Cracked.com. It’s a joke.
It’s not a joke. Check the links.
No, it isn’t. Cracked is actually correct on these hare-brained trends.
* There is actually a TV show or special on “Indigo Children”, where parents talk about their “indigos”.
* I’ve seen 3 year olds breastfed. I stopped when mine had teeth at six months.
* I had a doula tell me about “orgasmic childbirth”, but after trying regular drug free childbirth, I demanded an epidural.
* “To train up a child” is the anti-Dr. Spock “never discipline them” book. Not always right, but not as wrong as this article.
* This Cracked.com left out “Elimination Communication”, where parents claim to be diaper free and watch their babies and toddlers endlessly for when they’ll pee and poop and then say that every incident is an accident. Parents become child centered because failure means a big mess on the floor. And unlike letting a 2-3 year old child run around outside sans diaper to notice when they go while merely fertilizing the grass, some of these “elimination communication” idiots expect to bring their children into public or your home.
