October is Attachment Parenting month. Now, what does it mean, exactly, to attachment parent? Well, I’m sure if you ask 10 different people, you will get 10 different answers. To me, attachment parenting means, in general, to respect my child and be available – emotionally and physically – to them all (or 99 percent) of the time.
I was recently watching a morning show where the segment was all about “making moms feel less guilty.” I’ve got to say, I’m so tired of hearing about the moms! Being a mom is not about us…it’s about the kids! This woman who was being interviewed was saying that it doesn’t matter if you can only spend one or two hours a day with your child – as long as they are quality hours. That’s such a load of #*#$*, if you don’t mind me saying so. I’ve seen what happens to children who don’t have a parent who stays home. It’s not pretty. They are needy children. Very needy. And the needs manifest themselves in a lot of ways.
