Hil, is the pain any better tonight?
Somewhat, thanks. Not totally gone, but much more tolerable.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I guess they aren't using it like the TMNT

Yeah, they're not radical. "Unconventional" in more industrialized countries is pretty much it.
ETD: Edward Said taught me that "Western" is not an apt description unless I'm talking about John Ford movies.

Unconventional! That's a better word for what I mean.
