And now they're featuring a family that lets their sons play with dolls. Wasn't this covered in "Free to Be You and Me"? Back in the seventies?

And for the record, these grandparents were not dirty hippies. That was the other grandparents.
And it didn't work with any of their six subsequent children. Daddy was just some sort of potty prodigy.

Somewhat, thanks. Not totally gone, but much more tolerable.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
William wants a doll, so when he has a baby some day, he'll know how to dress it, put diapers on double, and gently caress it, to bring up a bubble, and care for his babay as every good father should learn to do...

I just realized. This family cosleeps, and they don't diaper the baby at night.
That's commitment.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Attachment parenting is totally within the range of upper-middle-class suburban parenting styles I'm seen from my friends, and unschooling is a bit further out there, but I've met several people who do it.
Well, I was going with the example you cited, of not just attachment parenting, but attachment parenting with extended breastfeeding.
Also, I too know people who took/take the attachment parenting route, but just because you or I know people who do it doesn't make it the norm.
Again, I think "radical" might not be the right word for how I would classify unschooling and attachment parenting w/extended breastfeeding -- "radical" makes me think of the Symbionese Liberation Army or something. I'll just stick with saying that those 2 methods of parenting are definitely outside the norm.

Yeah, unschooling and extended breastfeeding are outside the norm, but I would think that something would have to be much further outside than that to be called radical.
