they’ve been groomed this way for over half a century
- Dr. Benjamin Spock
- single parent households
- a monolithic progressive Left media culture for over 25 years.

The People’s Party ran Dr. Benjamin Spock for president and Julius Hobson for vice president in the 1972 U.S. presidential election. The party platform included free medical care, legalized abortion, legalized marijuana, a guaranteed minimum wage, the withdrawal of American troops from all foreign countries,[1] a guaranteed maximum wage, and promoting toleration of homosexuality. Dr. Spock and the People’s Party received 78,759 votes (0.10%)
1) Trust your instincts
2) Routines are nice, but babies don’t need strict a regimen
- Critics balked at the idea that parents would follow the whims of a mere infant, feeding or rocking the child at all hours of the day — or night. They warned that Spock was too “permissive,” and that coddling babies and children could eventually make them self-indulgent and rebellious.
3) Don’t fret if your baby acts funny; Freud can explain it
-Over the course of Spock’s lifetime, most of those Freudian concepts were debunked or otherwise abandoned by the medical profession. But who knows how many parents were unwittingly influenced by Freud’s somewhat bizarre ideas, without even knowing it.
4) Ideas about good parenting should evolve
-[Spock] acknowledged being too career driven and in recent years made a concerted effort to show more affection to his grown sons in a way they said never happened in their youth. […] [He] recognized the inconsistencies between his public and private lives, the insurmountable gap he had trouble reconciling even in his own mind. His lesson to fathers, Spock now told an interviewer, comes “through my writing, not my example.”
5) Babies need love
Only thing Dr. Spock’s book was good for is TP in the outhouse.
No really there are other, better books for young parents to read. But really you wanna know who the best person to talk to? Grandma! If you were lucky enough to have one that is who you talk to! Not your parents who just became grandparents, but your Grandma. Don’t ask me why but trust me she’s the one who really knows.
