8:47p - Parenting wank is the best kind of wank!
Neal Pollack posts an essay on online magazine Salon about his two-year-old son's getting expelled from preschool. For biting. A lot. Hard enough to draw blood.
In the letters column of Salon a few days later: Six pages of responses, most variations on the theme of "Bitch, please." Highlights include a lot of advocation of spanking, a little sympathy, quite a few people wondering why Salon published the article in the first place, and one very angry father whose own child was bit by some obnoxious little twerp in preschool.
The blogosphere has pretty much the same opinion: Rebecca Hartong refers to them as People Who Shouldn't Have Children, and most of her audience agrees. Then Neil's wife and the biter's the boy's mom Regina wades into the fray.
Hartong also discovers that Salon edited the article to delete Regina's describing her son as "the little shit."
Neal Pollack himself whines about the whole thing in his blog.
If you think it's too tl;dr:
( Just a few highlights under the cut )
Sorry I couldn't find the one where the Pollacks got compared to the Mengeles. If you find it, I'll link it!
