to think Oliver James can't have it both ways

[secunda]

If everything that affects a child's development is the fault of to do with mothers then surely fathers are surplus to requirements? Let's just replace them all with sperm banks!

Interesting theory..but still probably better to choose the father of your children. After all, you might end up spawning a family of little Oliver Jameses!

Did you hear him on Woman's Hour this morning? He really dodged the question on how long exactly he had spent with young children. (Only a couple of weeks..bet he didn't have to do the housework as well).

He really lives in cloud cuckoo land. There isn't a period in history when young children have had the undivided attention of their mothers. Women have always had other jobs to do, whether it is collecting berries or starching men's collars.

OK. rant over..

I don't know why you all give this little twerp so much head space. If we all stop talking about him he will go away.

Who?

exactly, whilst there is some logic in what he sense HE FUICKING GOES ON ABOUT MOTHERS ALL THE TIME

according to him as a FT working mum I am the character type that wants to fit my child into my routine

no you stupid fuck, WE JUST HAVE A HUGE FUCKING MORTGAGE

suprised the Guardian give this twat the airtime

What makes this man an 'expert'?

He spouts such unpolluted crap from his elevated position of superiority.

he's a psychotherapist isn't he?

i went into therapy because i had counselling for six weeks and my counsellor was also a psychotherapist, and recommended that i start therapy (what a shock)

always spent most of the time discussing why i was late

erm, because i have a job which I don't want to get sacked from, and because you live just off the North Circular which is sometimes very busy? now can we discuss what the hell to do about my collapsing marriage?

there is no doubt though that the decision to leave therapy despite the protestations of the therapist was the first stage in leaving my husband, so i guess it can be empowering
