That makes PERFECT marketing sense. Americans don't give a FUCK about what's happening France. (If you know Geo-Political History, you understand the why's of this.)

In America, we've turned into a FULL BLOWN Shock culture and most men are Titty Freaks!!!

Lulz
 
That cover wouldn't be shocking in Europe because suckin on tittays ain't no thang over there, in my opinion like it should be.
 
My wife is a huge advocate of attachment parenting, still breastfeeds our 2 yr old daughter with another one on the way in September. Though I don't think she'll be breastfeeding them when they're beyond 3 lol. Ultimately what's the big fucking deal, breastmilk has a ton of positive health benefits.

She doesn't give a fuck either about breastfeeding in public, and who should? A baby wants to nurse, they should nurse. It's the snotty insecure fucks that have to cause a problem because someone's doing something natural.

But attachment parenting isn't just about breastfeeding..

Attachment parenting, a phrase coined by pediatrician William Sears,[1] is a parenting philosophy based on the principles of the attachment theory in developmental psychology. According to attachment theory, the child forms a strong emotional bond with caregivers during childhood with lifelong consequences. Sensitive and emotionally available parenting helps the child to form a secure attachment style which fosters a child's socio-emotional development and well being.

A big part of it is about discipline..

Attachment parents seek to understand the biological and psychological needs of the children, and to avoid unrealistic expectations of child behavior. In setting boundaries and limits that are appropriate to the age of the child, attachment parenting takes into account the physical and psychological stage of development that the child is currently experiencing. In this way, parents may seek to avoid frustration that occurs when they expect things beyond the child's capability.

In other words, by taking your 2 year old to a classy restaurant and expecting he or she to behave, you're a fucking idiot. Children want to explore, it's natural. Pisses me off when I've been in a restaurant and see a parent spanking the shit out their kid because they won't "behave".

At the risk of thread hijacking, I think kids don't behave in restaurants because they don't sit down for dinner every day with their parents. Most parents I know in the UK feed their kids early, then have a meal after they're in bed, so the kids don't learn how to behave at a "grown up" meal.

We've always sat down together at 6pm for food as a family, and she eats whatever we eat. As a result, whenever we go to restaurants, people come up and ask how the hell my kid is so well-behaved (she's 2.5 now, but this has been since about 8 months of age).

Of course, if she's there with other toddlers, it's a different ballgame. You can't stop them running around like lunatics. Then we just go before it gets busy, go to restaurants run by Italians or other cultures who like kids, and leave a 25-30% tip.

This "class" of parents has ruined any enjoyment left that was provided by going out to see a movie too. :updown:

I just think a lot of people don't give a shit, because they clearly know the chances of their child "acting out" in certain environments is going to be about 100%, as you said young kids just want to explore and shit. Or Oh a big ass dark room where they can sprint around up and down stairs and yell shit at the huge bright screen etc...people don't care lol

Not all children are alike, there are many different temperaments, which makes the idea of a universal parenting style impossible. My daughter is 2.5 as well, and we have dinner with her too. But when you bring her into a relatively new environment like a restaurant, she wants to get up and explore (though she has been better about it recently). I wouldn't blame that on bad parenting, it's simply natural for her to want to explore. And then there are some kids who are opposite, have no problem sitting down for an extended period of time doing nothing. My kid is just extremely busy and very rarely will you see her relaxing lol, it's been like that since day 1. That's why we're praying our next child has a more relaxed temperament, likes the car seat, falls asleep easily, doesn't get up 3x a night like this one does some times, etc..
