I'm not really dissing the article because of the early toilet-training thing, but because the NYT never seems to talk to anyone outside of the richest neighborhoods for these "parenting" stories. Upper West Side? Newton, Massachusetts? Gotta be two of the most affluent neighborhoods in the Northeast.
"..the NYT never seems to talk to anyone outside of the richest neighborhoods for these "parenting" stories."
Maybe too many of the "parenting" stories they get from the ghetto have to do w/ dumpsters.
Newton is really two cities.The north side is substantially working class and Catholic.The south side is overwhelmingly professional class and Unitarian/Universalist and Reform Judaism.
The south side is one of the most affluent areas in the nation,not just the northeast.
