Re: Jeanette's note re: Dr. Brazelton: <he says: "The babies looked great - but the mothers looked like....."> Well, that's disappointing, but should we maybe just lighten up? Maybe I'm *way* wrong, but when I read that, I just figured that it was the kind of thing someone from a different generation would say to get a laugh. Like, does anybody remember being a little girl, around 5 or 6 years old, and your grandfather's buddies' idea of a good joke was to call you "little boy"? Well, I remember my mom explaining to me that they didn't really mean anything by it, that maybe they didn't really know how to show a little kid that they liked her and so they would tease her that way, and no, they don't *really* think you're a boy and no, they don't mean to hurt your feelings. Maybe I'm naive, but I can't really get worked up by Dr. Brazelton's comment. I weigh it in the balance with the other, more positive things, I know about his work over the years, and I come up thinking, "well, kinda dumb but not fatal".
