Daddy-in-chief

Love / Shove blog post by Kjerstin Johnson, December 15, 2008 - 4:16pm; tagged gender roles, magazines, parenting, women's magazines.
PC-Cover-DJ09.gif Nick Friedman is the first male editor of Scholastic’s Parent & Child, a magazine whose readership is 85% women the New York Times reports. Apparently, most magazines are run by the gender they intend to cater to (BTW, non-bitches need not apply!), and while homemaker mags have been run by dudes before (Good Housekeeping was founded by Clark W. Bryan in 1885), there seems to be a “mommy club” that men remain outside of.

Brian Urlacher

Behold the teaser from an article in this morning's Chicago Sun Times: "Football tough guy Brian Urlacher dresses his son in pink Cinderella diapers and paints the 3-year-old's toenails blue, the child's mother charged in Will County court Tuesday."

Nobody's Baby Now

Love / Shove blog post by Kelsey Wallace, November 7, 2008 - 4:35pm; tagged birth control, fathers, mothers, parenting, the Netherlands.
The Netherlands may be known throughout the world for their quaint wooden shoes and their progressive drug and prostitution laws, but soon they might be known for something else: forced sterilization of women. You read me right, a draft bill currently before the Dutch parliament will, if passed, force women deemed to be “unfit mothers” to take oral contraception for a period of two years.

Ain't I a Mommy?

Bookstores Brim with Motherhood Memoirs. Why Are So Few of Them Penned by Women of Color?
Ain't I a Mommy?
Article by Deesha Philyaw, appeared in issue Genesis; published in 2008; filed under Books; tagged mommy wars, motherhood, parenting, publishing, race, women of color.

Shortly before the birth of my first child nine years ago, while browsing the bookstore for mommy wisdom, I discovered Anne Lamott’s Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son’s First Year and fell in love with the author and the book. More than any parenting truisms the book might have contained, it was Lamott’s writing style—funny, self-deprecating, and brutally honest—that kept me reading. The big mommy insight I gleaned from Operating Instructions was that I wasn’t quite as neurotic as Anne, so my kid and I would probably be all right.

Mommy & Me

Looking for the Missing Voices in the Burgeoning World of Mom Blogs
Supplemental Content by Veronica I. Arreola, appeared as a sidebar in the article 'Ain't I a Mommy?' in issue Genesis; filed under: Internet culture; tagged: BlogHer, blogosphere, blogs, momblogs, mommy blogs, motherhood, parenting, race, women of color.

Mommy blogs are big business these days. A recent Washington Post profile on ur-mommy blogger Heather Armstrong (a.k.a. Dooce) suggested that her site could be raking in up to 40 grand a month. While most mothers who blog are nowhere near as influential (and their sites nowhere near as lucrative), they take pride and satisfaction in the work they do, and the websites they maintain offer valuable community, a sense of connection to other parents, and occasionally a little pocket change.
