Moo upset because duhddy shows no interest in "attachment parenting"
Posted by kidlesskim
"Okay, well, let me start off by saying that this whole AP thing is somewhat new to me. I have one son who will be 4 this march and we co-sleep, I'm home schooling so far and am a SAHM (well, I work 4 hours twice a week, but at night when he's already asleep). My concern is Daddy. He seems very neutral with EVERYTHING. For example, whenever I mention any lifestyle change I would like to make (switching to organics, stopping flouride toothpaste, extended breastfeeding and no vaccines for our future children), his only reply is "sure" or "okay". He never makes suggestions, reads any Mothering articles without some serious prompting on my part, researches any related topics on the internet, etc. Just pseudo-support. Now don't get me wrong, he's a GREAT daddy! Wonderful. He plays with his son, cares for him, etc. It just gets very frustrating sometimes! So my question is: How do I get him more actively involved in AP and Natural parenting, etc?":bawl
The man works full time, presumably since she only works a WHOPPING 4 hours at the time here and there, he plays with the kid, lets the kid sleep in HIS bed, and he hasn't left yet. I think she ought to thank her lucky stars that he even does that much. What intelligent man WOULD be interested in reading "moomie magazines",
,toothpaste, health foods, or care or want to hear about extended breastfeeding, nonsense such as no vaccines, or ANYTHING related to the NEXT set of brats she obviously intends on sprogging? What does she mean she "homeskools"? How exactly do you homeskool a four year old since they are'nt even "skool age"?.
This leads me to believe that there are other brats residing in that home who no doubt have the run of the place. I think duhddy should get involved, in BIRTH CONTROL that is, not in all of this other ridiculous nonsense. WHY do men allow and/or put up with this shit? SURELY it can't be as they had ever imagined.

Sounds to me like he knows it's just the latest fad but wants to keep things smooth and avoids a confrontation by basically giving her a pat on the head. I'd say he sounds smart if it wasn't for the co-sleeping thing...
I'm not surprised he's not interested - these things are VERY dull and ill-researched. Basically a load of pseudo-hippie opinions from people of no medical training and below average intelligence.
And what IS their beef with fluoride toothpaste and vaccines? They want all their teeth to fall out by age 30? Or perhaps the return of the Black Death?
Hey, at least the rest of us vaccinated folks will enjoy our space and peace...
