Title of my post is accurate--at least the first WORD!  I made a point of
doing other work in order to watch that program last night and I went
NUTS!!!  (My dog kept looking at the TV--which she normally ignores unless
a cat meows or a dog barks or a wolf howls!)  (She was raised with a
breastfeeding baby before I adopted her.)

What sparked my anger was the parents' conclusion after the baby FINALLY
stopped crying (after 25 minutes by my clock) that it worked!  Nowhere did
they conclude that a) the baby wore herself out crying, b) concluded that
mother and dad would not be there for her, etc. etc.

ARGGGHHHH.  Is there an email for this network somewhere? I belive they
NEED to hear how we felt about that program!!!

Jamie's meager expression of regret was, I'll bet, missed by a lot of
people.....  so so sad....

PS I wonder how much Ferber paid them to use his book for that godawful scene?
