Back To Normal

Our visitors are gone and life is coming back to normal. I have lots of things on my mind which I'd like to blog about but my house lies in shambles and I'm still working on my latest book (more about it later).

Here are some latest vacation impressions (Limburg, Aachen)

Daycares Don't Care And Other Things

Recently a small private day care started using our playgrounds for their kids. Since they don't have that many they only come a couple of days a week, and they have 2 caregivers for 5 children, a higher ratio than in most daycares. Yet I noticed one thing, they mostly didn't interact with the children the way a mother does. Sure, they cared about them not breaking anything but that was about all. For the rest, they appeared little interested and spent their time talking to each other. Somehow this system is considered to be superior to home care.

That all reminded me of a site called Daycares Don't Care which predictably attacks daycare. Now I won't go so far as to say that there is no situation at all when daycare may be necessary, yet a funny thing happened. While I was searching for this site I came across a blog where angry women triggered by the idea that Mother's love is superior to that of a hired caregiver accused those daring to express it of hatred and sexism, while calling them morons and using a f-word every second time. So much for liberal tolerance, I guess. It's either their way or the highway and anyone who disagrees is a f***ing hater! So there...

P.S. Swearing like a sailor doesn't make one a strong independent whatever. It just sounds trashy and low class.

Does Your Nagging Turn Your Husband Into A Woman?

I'm still having company around so instead of writing a lengthy post, I'll leave you with yet another link, this time it's an article dealing with testosterone decline in men, which among other things, can lead to the problems with fertility. According to the author, the number one reason of low testosterone is stress, which includes nagging wives. So it's true after all that bossy women emasculate their men:)

One thing I'd like to add, is that stress disrupts female hormonal system in the like manner, by producing high levels of cortisol, and that both sexes will benefit from good nutrition. So here is the article:

Another Milestone

 250264 pageviews as of today! I have some posts in the planning but an incredible shortage of time as we are going to have visitors coming this week plus I've been working on my new book and I've been socially very busy. I'll try to write a sequel to my current post tomorrow!
