Guess her husband can't take it anymore

Ummm...exactly how is she being judgmental in her book and her articles? She's said time and again in interviews that AP is not for everyone. Her blog postings don't read that way to me. And no, I haven't read her book, but if you've come to such a conclusion, surely you'd have some factual for it. Otherwise, that sounds like "passing judgment" in the same way as those caving in on the person who started this thread.

I am becoming less and less interested in your estimates of what is possible and impossible.

But I think it should also be allowed to criticize her as well.

I don't dispute that. Personally, I don't agree with everything she does or has done. And I couldn't care less whether MB's a vegan or not, but I can understand someone who is 100 percent vegan being offended.

As a parent and a former teacher, I believe children are entitled to certain things. But does that mean I am indirectly judgmental of parents and teachers who employ different methods that don't provide what I believe those kids to be entitled to? Maybe, but that's just my opinion that some methods are better than others. Just yesterday, at the daycare center where I volunteer, one of the kid's was whining that he didn't want to go home when his father came to pick him up. He wanted to play outside with the other kids, so the father let him. Fair enough. When the father said it was time go, the kid got fussy again. The father said "two more minutes." But then he said two more minutes after those two minutes were up. In my opinion, the father should have been firmer, but I did not call the father out on it. The teachers there share there thoughts with parents and guardians about proper ways to lay down the law, such as not getting into power struggles, but in a non-confrontational and non-judgmental manner.

It may be semantic knit-picking on my part, but I don't see MB's thoughts on being natural childbirth as being overly judgmental.

I am becoming less and less interested in your estimates of what is possible and impossible.

I should think her parenting style will actually be a benefit to her kids as they go through this divorce. Obviously both parents are committed to the children, but they are no longer committed to one another. It bears noting that she specifically addressed attachment parenting in her public statement, and I believe her when she says if played no role in the decision.

I wonder if her success on TBBT just altered her view of life. She's a very good actress and could secure tv roles for years. Since joining the cast -- not to mention her makeover on WNTW -- she's put forth a polished, even sophisticated persona. I don't mean to suggest that playing dress up and going to parties is now more important to her than her marriage, but I do wonder if a polished, sophisticated lifestyle is a truer self-expression for her now than the crunchy earth mother stuff. And maybe her husband doesn't want to come along god that ride.

Pure speculation... May they all come through with peace of mind.

Why is it always "you're jealous"?

The woman has made her parenting style public. It's controversial. Now she's getting divorced.

You do have to wonder if having children hanging on for an extended period causes strain in a marriage. There's no "Go to your room and leave Mommy and Daddy alone for 5 minutes". Of course she is going to say it had nothing to do with it. Any press agent would advise her to do that.

It just seems that people who commit to something like attachment parenting could commit to marriage.

Anyway nothing to really do but wish them well. I'm just saying I think it's normal to wonder what happened.
