Diazepam, anyone?

Someone give that woman a sedative. Or maybe valerian root if she's still breastfeeding. In one sense I understand her behavior, a Type A personality is going to be a Type A parent. However, I don't want a Type A telling me how to be the perfect parent.

I have several issues, one being that she's a mom according to HER needs on HER schedule. Another is "raising overachievers" or "best of breed" children. How about just raising happy, well adjusted children who don't have to overachieve unless they want to? And third is assuming that other moms don't have a village. Just because she didn't doesn't mean the rest of us don't. It's downright creepy.

I think the author of that article was just as appalled as I was.

As a Type B or Beta Mom, I really don't want to listen to someone tell me how much more I can fit into my day, especially if it means hiring other people to do my job. I don't believe in outsourcing motherhood.
