Behold! Gaze deep into the stygian maw that is Shannon Watts' Parenting Style!

I wake up every day at 6 a.m.—thanks to perimenopause, sleeping in is a distant dream. One daughter and my son still live at home—my daughter is in college in Denver and my son is about to be a high school senior. Each night I remind them to set their alarm clocks eleventeen times, but I usually end up waking them up anyway because they forget or they sleep through them. Then I make smoothies (the only thing I can “cook” that is palatable), remind everyone to brush their tongues (not just their teeth), and make myself coffee while they get dressed.

The article is about how Shannon Watts is a parent. The link is just one example of how, evidently, everyone in her family sucks and is dependent on her, and the title is derived from that (and reading the rest of the article).

Where does she find any time with her new path?

Watts and her fellow activists are now wrapping up Wear Orange Weekend, a nationwide campaign to show there’s more work to be done.

Here's the Watts article:

How do you divide household/childcare responsibilities with your partner?

Now that our kids are older and independent, it’s much easier to navigate who does what. My husband commutes to a job in California Monday through Thursday, but he cooks dinner when he’s home. I neither enjoy nor excel at cooking, so the kids and I usually eat out together the nights he’s gone (Chipotle knows us by name). Also, I’m lucky that I live near my ex-husband and we have co-parented well together for over a decade. In fact, we strongly believe that our three parent model should be replicated in households across the world—that extra parent catches a lot of tomfoolery that would have gone unnoticed by the other two.

Why stop at 3? Why not have the state become the nanny, too!?

I'm with HBAR, though... I don't quite get the title.

Saved the thread.

D'oh!

Link fixed.

It's no wonder she wants guns banned. All the humans in her immediate vicinity are dysfunctional. Her husband doesn't even want to be around her four days a week (I couldn't do that).

If your high school (senior) child has to be reminded to set an alarm you have failed at parenting and your child is going to fail at life. Before someone here wags a finger at me, there are humans at that age who were sent to war not too long ago.

Yup, better ban guns. And all the things.

It takes a village...

Wow - mega-cofusion since I thought this was about Shannon Watts who was killed in Frederick recently.

I'm interested in how she utilizes the express lanes.
