Is Time Magazine Serious With This Attachment Parenting Cover?
BF – The print giant adresses the debate over attachment parenting with a bold cover image of a 26-year-old mom breast-feeding her almost 4-year-old son. The subjects on this week’s TIME cover aren’t models in pose. Jamie Lynne Grumet, photographed by Martin Schoeller with her 3-year-old son, is a mother from Los Angeles who subscribes to attachment parenting, the subject of staff writer Kate Pickert’s cover story. Attachment parenting has been on the rise over the last two decades, since the publication of The Baby Book by Dr. Bill Sears and his wife, Martha, in 1992. Its three main tenets are extended breast-feeding, co-sleeping and “baby wearing,” in which infants are physically attached to their parents by slings.
Listen — I’m no parenting expert. I don’t have any kids, I don’t really want any kids, and frankly don’t even really like kids that much. But let me tell you this: having your kid still sucking on your hot tits at four years old is not the right way to raise him. Â It’s not. You already know how I feel about breastfeeding. This image — after my strange boner subsided — enraged me.
Attachment parenting sounds like the PC term for pussifying your children. Are you serious with these tenents, parents? Physically attaching your child to you in a sling for most of the day? Co-sleeping with them until they’re old? This will be culprit #1 when we try to figure out what happened as we’re all switching our first names and last names and praising the exalted leader of New China.
A generation of men raised like this won’t work. I’m not saying I know more about Attachment Parenting than what I just read in that paragraph, but there is something I’m sure of: this kid will never win a fight in his life.


Yes Mo, this is strangely erotic.
Gonna turn into this kid:

I’m rock hard…
Let me suck that titty, it is completely wasted on a 4 year old.
In all seriousness, I am a parent. I got kids. When I meet at other parents at preschool meetings and shit like that, I am always amazed how completely fucking stupid some parents are. I know some parents that treat their kids little little retards who won’t let them climb stairs alone (at 4 years old)…. it mostly comes from the mothers, and the husbands are such pussy whipped assholes who let their wives run all over them.
This attachment parenting thing comes from one thing…….. LAZINESS.
Â
It’s hard work to sleep train a child, keep them on schedule, but you do it (letting them cry it out)…
the easy way out is to just coddle and let them win and give them whatever they want….
Why are kids so fat? because parents will keep giving them oreos so they stop whining.
these parents are failures, and their kids will end up sitting in Occupy Tents waiting for someone to hand them a 200K/year job with their Degrees in Music and Art.
Â
BTW, I do realize many of you are thinking “this asshole tornopen has kids”…. well the my wife doesn’t even know this website exists. I am actually pretty normal in real life, fake internet life is my way of spitting out the poison.
Â
That chick has 0.0 tits. The kid would get the same amount of milk by sucking on her knee caps.
tornopen — preach on brotha
Tornopen- absolutely nailed it my man. I too am a parent and just can’t believe how many parents just don’t get it. As for the Occupy tents- the problem is THOSE are the people having the fucking kids right now. Scary, scary shit.
Tornopen for the win! First thing i do when my 2 year old son falls down… smile, clap and say YAY! if he still cries, i know its for real. now, most of the time he man’s up and goes about his 2 year old business. How anyone believes sheltering their children will do anything but harm them in the long run is baffling. “Baby wearing”?!!?! are you kidding… people learn how to walk for a reason…
A few weeks ago I stopped at supermarket to pick up some steaks for grilling that night (always buy meat same day)… the supermarket was in a upscale suburb
Anyway I was in line to check out alone, and in front of me was the typical uppity bitch with two boys, in the age range of 7 to 10 or something. These two little assholes were running behind the register and banging on the fucking buttons! Pushing the cashier out of the way. The cashier was some young teenage dude just working his after school job and kept saying “guys, you can’t be here”…. the mother was useless, she kept saying things like “guys it is not polite to disrupt this young man”. one kid is throwing paper bags in the air. I wanted to fucking slap them.
I lost my patience and temper (probably shouldn’t have) and said to the kids “seriously, cut it out, who do you think you are running behind the register, this guy is trying to work, get out of there”. I am a 6’1 and weigh about 270 (fat jokes expected)…. I scared the living daylights out of the kids. These little pussies went cowering to their mother.
I figured, oh great, now I gotta deal with some uppity bitch telling me not to scold her kids…..
The mother turned to me on her way out and said “Thank You”.
So then I went to the parking lot and she blew me in my car while her kids were locked in her car waiting for me.
Â
ok, that last line was made up, she didn’t blow me.
but point is, kids need someone strict to install fear in them. Fear drives discipline.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is just a pussy who wants their kids to be their best buddies.
