It's a bit weird that there's so little fanfic for those. (Well, excepting Strickland's work. I guess he tries, anyway.) Maybe we'll get more when the movie comes out?

I'm glad Zink's daughter won her case. What an awful man!

The only good news here is that the people in charge of the Minneapolis Police reacted in the right way about the ketamine charges!

That Motherhood in the Age of Fear
bit has been building for *decades*.

I recall my mom leaving me in the car a lot while she ran errands. That was in the early 60s.

By the mid 70s, things had started to change. I was at a restaurant with a friend and her 4-year-old started throwing a tantrum. We had a window table and her care was *literally* less than six feet away and completely visible, so she dragged him out and put him into the car to calm down.

We were all keeping an eye on him.

But somebody, might have been the restaurant manager, might have even been a cop came up to tell her she couldn't do that.

And people wonder why there are screaming kids in restaurants...

What I want to know is when am I going to stop being treated like a damn freak for not having or wanting kids?

The story about the duck with her entourage was cute.

The "Motherhood in the Age of Fear" was so true and so polarizing. I was raised by older parents, so I lean more toward free-range parenting, and the comments from people who think hovering over their kids is the only way to parent were a huge sign of what different worlds they and we live in.

And yes, I saw a lot of that when our kids were growing up.

What's interesting is that the author is right-- most people thing mothers are being neglectful when their kids do things more independently, while fathers are given a pass. Which means it isn't necessarily about parent. It's about judging women.

Thanks for the links!
