Usually good but …
I usually enjoy this podcast and Emily but thought the parenting trends throughout history episode missed the mark a bit. There is no acknowledgment in the conversation about the history discussed being entirely centered on the Western/European world — both women are talking as though these were the only parenting trends that ever existed. I would be ok with this limited perspective if they acknowledged how limited it is. Was also very disappointed that wet nurses were discussed without ANY mention of slavery. Shortsighted and frustrating. Do better.

Since then I’ve read or ordered all of her books (my kids are...Read full review »
