Extreme Parenting -according to TIME
Is anyone else disturbed by the cover of TIME as much as I am? And even MORE disturbing is the fact that there are probably plenty of apostolic (and conservative in general) women who find it perfectly natural.
Did Time go too far with breast-feeding cover image?

Re: Extreme Parenting -according to TIME
I totally support breastfeeding but this is just tacky.
I nursed my youngest until 20 months when she self weaned.
If you follow that premise and the child is older.....ok, just not appropriate on the cover of a national magazine.

Many of those who DO feel it is appropriate to nurse until their kid can walk and talk (and will remember nursing as an adult) think it is just fine to be 'in your face' about it.
If you read the article, as well as a few links to others contained within on the subject you will see women who are totally happy (and no doubt getting their pedophile kicks) nursing their 6 and 7 year olds. The public message boards on some of these stories are truly scary.

When we told friends that we were trying to discover a way to wean our youngest (a year ago) my friend said "I don't know, but if you figure it out please don't tell mom"!

Yes the cover is disturbing, as is the idea to breast feed for years into childhood.
I think the last sentence is a bit of a stretch. imo.

OK, I did use the word "plenty" which may be technically correct in absolute terms although I am sure it is still a small minority of all.
And the type who are so militant about this really fall into two VERY different categories ranging from UC's in the church to militant feminists who still believe it is a "right" that needs to be fought for.

Re: Extreme Parenting -according to TIME
The most disturbing thing in that cover photos is the fact that the lady has no poof. It really upsets me.
But you have to realize that magazines are run by people who like to get a discussion going....in this case showing a lady without a poof.
Disturbing? Yes! But hey....that's the secular press for you!!!
Freedom of press has gone overboard again.
As someone said: “I sort of shudder to think where we go from here, presumably, there are some lesbian marriage covers in the works.

My biggest problem with the photo is the pose. I am wondering if they are models. And if they are, what parent lets their child pose like this with someone else. If that is really mother and child, the pose is just the wrong way to get a message across to me.

I think that kid has same sex parents.
I guess next they'll have to show a nipple?

Not models. The mother and son were on morning news shows.
Time magazine, along with most newspapers and print magazines are hemorrhaging due to the new media. They have to try to get people to even look at their magazines let alone buy them.
It's shock journalism.
