What's the latest danger threatening our children?

Hide and Seek.

I can see what's next: one day your kids are tossing stones in hopscotch, and the next they're all:

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE FUCKING SHITTING ME

"Rachel". She's "momtastic".
"Momtasticing": "parenting" on bath salts.

She's momtasticizing through the interwebs.

I know when I was a kid I couldn't tell the difference between not telling people where I was hiding and being raped. I'm glad this important issue is being raised.

YOU HAVE TO USE THE BUBBLE WRAP.

In our era of parenting, there are two philosophies regarding children's interactions with the world that have seemingly emerged. Philosophy one views the world as a mostly safe place that we need to allow our children to freely experience and explore, and philosophy two views the world as a mostly dangerous place that we need to protect and shelter our children from. Then there are those who fall somewhere in the middle, parents who are aware of the dangers of the world but not fearful, and are concerned about their child's safety but not obsessed. I think those are the type of parents we should strive to be.

And then you go TOTAL MORAL PANIC about fucking HIDE AND SEEK.

So when you buy your kid Legos for Christmas, and you spend all morning putting the set together for them (because your kid is six and the set is for 9-14), and then you get irked because your child actually plays with the Legos?

That's when you're momtastic.

I hate this woman. she is misssing the point with Lego.

SHUT YOUR DIRTY WHORE MOUTH.  SHE'S MOMTASTIC.

i was at first under the impression that this was an individual blog, but after looking at the lego link, i realize this is a collection of MOMTASTIC MOMS that are under the umbrella of this site.

and then i realized... the greatness of potential for trolling.  i think you would be hitting a demographic that would be particularly susceptible.

What in the hell is WRONG with these people?

That said, I was so fucking relieved when it was finally time to get rid of Legos. I've stepped on Legos so many times in the middle of the night that I cringe when I see one.

They make oversized Legos for smaller kids anyway.
Why didn't momtastic mom know this?

also, i think the ages on them are kind of lowballed.  maybe for them to put it together all alone without getting frustrated?
but my kid who just turned four has no problems putting together sets in that age range if i prompt him along. (i.e. ask what the next peice is on the pictures.  indicate when he has the orientation wrong, or is off a stud...)

I'm thinking that perhaps being so incredibly MOMTASTIC requires enough brainspace that there wasn't room for simple spatial reasoning, or ability to match shapes, or ability to follow well thought out pictorial instructions intended for young children.

I think Roger should post his KitchenWitch troll about waxing the cat.
