There’s a great article/interview with Pamela Paul at the Campaign for Commercial Free Children website. She has a new book out (due out next Tuesday) called Parents, Inc. that takes a look at the over-commercialization of parenting and babyhood.
We live in a world where $800 strollers are bought without a blink of the eye, wipe warmers are ‘necessary’, diaper bags are a statement in style and can cost just as much as the stroller, and finding toys that aren’t electronic nearly impossible.
Surely there must be more (or less, depending on how you look at it) to parenting life than this?
