Rosa Brooks Reminds Me a Lot of Me
Rosa Brooks has a particularly good column today in the LA Times, about the 1 percent difference in Behavior Problems for kids who are shoved into daycare.
In fact, Rosa Brooks is reminding me a lot of me.
I will say, though: ever since I quit my job, it's amazing how much easier it is to actually a) go to the grocery store each week and b) make sure my son does his homework instead of just lying about it. Also? I have cooked dinner every single night. The last time this happened was never.
I think maybe I would like a husband. Or maybe I would like a wife.
So when my 2 1/2 -year-old escalated the morning frenzy by willfully placing a pancake on top of her head, I didn't just roll my eyes. I squinted at the pancake, trying to determine if it was 1% larger or more syrupy than the pancake she had placed on her head last year, before she had been exposed to all that extra time in day care. I was pretty sure it was.
