Was reading a fine post by Sharon Astyk here which starts off by commenting on the observable differences in parenting ability she finds among the domestic animals and wildlife on their small farm. I've seen the same, though I was nowhere near as observant as she is.
She then segues into a discussion of human parenting, of which she's seen much, as she and her husband are parents and foster parents of a large number of children.
When I first started reading her, she was blogging as a peak oil/locavore activist. She always had an interesting voice, interesting enough to overcome my knee-jerk reaction against the positions she favored and the dire future she forecast. But time happens to us all, and these days she's less into policy and much less into blogging and much more into managing a large and variable household. Whether her blogging, as opposed to the subjects she blogs on, has changed that much, I don't know, but I do find myself liking her writing a lot more.
