What is Attachment Parenting and Why is this Kid Still on the Teat?
This week’s Time Magazine cover on attachment parenting is a disgrace to motherhood. The attachment parenting trend is officially out of control.
Attachment parenting is just the latest trend in treating children like parasites. Children are not parasites. They are akin to bugs in that they go through various phases of maturity – pupa, larva, teen and adult. But it is important to note that bugs don’t breastfeed for 10 years!
“Attachment parenting” is a term known only to a small percentage of parents – many mothers learned about attachment-oriented parenting techniques, like breastfeeding, through La Leche League International and books authored by Dr. William and Martha Sears. Other parents sought out the support of Attachment Parenting International when cultural childrearing advice conflicted with their natural parenting instincts. Steadily, Attachment Parenting International grew, now stretching its reach around the globe, and awareness of attachment parenting has blossomed. – Source: www.attachmentparenting.org
Mothers that adhere to attachment parenting will ‘wear’ the baby in a sling, allow the child to sleep with the parents and seek ‘atunement’ with the child. These mothers are also self righteous goons that will bully and try to humiliate other moms. I know, I’ve been a victim.
Breast feeding is a beautiful way new mothers can give their child a head start with comfort and nutrition. Women’s bodies are made to breast feed – but only for the first few months of life! Many of these attachment parenting terrorists will try to pressure new mothers through the Le Leche league almost as soon as she gives birth! Some of the propaganda these people provide is simply disgusting.
In addition to the “ew, ick, gag” factor of this group’s willy-nilly approach to parenting, they are ruining our economy by advocating the shut down of the wet nurse trade. These trend setters in parenting also have an impact on the manufacture and sale of breast pumps. For any mother that has breast fed, the need for a breast pump is clear. When it is time to express, a gal is like ol’ Bessie meandering to the barn – ya gotta get milked. Sometimes the child isn’t hungry at that time, so the gentle humming of the motor is a comfort and pressure reliever. Nothing is more uncomfortable than full milk jugs.
What this ‘attachment parenting’ trend refuses to recognize is that if everyone embraced this style, day care facilities would shut down and many women would loose jobs. Working women are not a goal of attachment parenting, but blatant man-centric thinking is. Where is the picture of a kid suckling man teats on the cover of Time? I only mention this because the usually screeching caws of the black cloaked feminists should be all over this, but they seem oddly silent.
As a mom and as a woman, I have been confronted with these idiots in my own family. A certain member (Bridget) who shall remain anonymous, absolutely hounded me to breast feed my kids well into the middle grades. She might feel comfortable having her kids follow her around like piglets after an old mother sow in the school cafeteria, but I am not. And another thing, when a full grown man twists his ankle, whipping out a teat to offer him comfort is not ‘nursing him back to health’. I’ll stick with ice packs and compression to aid my wounded husband, thank you very much.
I feel sorry for kids that are raised by ‘attachment’ parents, but respect the demand they create for behavioral therapists.

I saw a family eating outdoors the other day.
A fully grown man and his two parents.
They just finished and the mom said : “Stand still so i can wipe your mouth.”
The man-boy slightly bent his head forwards and his mother wiped his mouth with a napkin.
“I feel sorry for kids that are raised by ‘attachment’ parents, but respect the demand they create for behavioral therapists.”¨
Creating a strong emotional bond is one thing, wondering why you are not getting laid when things go too far is another.

Susan, care to bring up where I said that? And August, why are you so threatened by someone on the internet, that you have to resort to calling them shut-ins and so forth? Is that honestly the best you have? Have you ever once been able to back up anything you’ve ever said? You’re so caught up in hate that you don’t even know what reality is anymore, I bet.

Oh August, you’re seriously that desperate to get a rise out of me? All it takes to piss you off is talking shit about your daughter, and you’re trying ever so hard to find a way to piss me off.
You must really hate Jesus and America if you’re going to lie like that, August. You call yourself a Christian and yet you behave worse than elementary school children. Actually, scratch that, I remember children in my class back when I was five years old that were more mature than you.

@ Celestial Deth: I didn´t make the story up.
I have no problem with these people but the picture, with their expressions and everything, made me think.
And the :”Creating a strong emotional bond is one thing, wondering why you are not getting laid when things go too far is another.”
goes for a relative of mine who absolutely and knowingly abuses his mothers´ care for him.I don´t generalize on this, but this guy can not take a step on his own, because for years he did not want to take a step on his own.And his mother does everything for her dear boy.The father is on the brink of throwing him out, but he has been on the brink for years so…

I am new to this site, and I don’t agree with a lot said but respect opinion
However as much as everyone can yell, belittle and render these women to nothing, that isn’t ever going to solve the issue nor is pushing it aside to a therapist
You should ask why is this woman needing the attention of her child? Why is she so dependent on him needing her?
You should offer support to these women and change your direction of fixing the issue instead of out casting them
They need help and people of god have a duty to help
In your sense of approach; let god give her the strength needed to face whatever emotional or spiritual pain she is hiding and hence needs to be needed.
Also have the father step in. A lot of the time the father isn’t being a man with any opinion or will and letting everything go to chaos (speaking from what I have seen).
Does he protect and love her and show that he needs her? If a woman is lonely she will do strange things, and a child is sometimes the best band aid to abandonment pain, hence they “attach”
Is the child the glue to keeping the marriage together? The more you fixate on something else the less of an issue everything else becomes. This doesn’t help and marriage counselling through the church is a good idea
Give love and support and a cure to this, not hatred
There should be more christian support to women who need their husband to step up, start taking care of the child and remove her for a bit to get her head back into gear so she can let go, and build a safe loving home with boundaries to give freedom for her children to grow
Who knows, she may even just need another child?
