Indeed. I had a daughter last year, ands a well-meaning relative gave us a copy at the baby shower. I very publically tossed it.

This is the same relative who thinks "time outs" are too harsh, and has instituted a "time IN" policy. (Time out harms Precious Little Snowflake's fragile ego and self-esteem.) Ignore the bad altogether and reward for good things...

No wonder we're all in the deluxe handbasket to Hell where the future generation is concerned.
