Yes of course there are many parenting bores. There are people who (for various reasons, different for each one) are searching for an identity/vocation & find it through their parenthood. Nothing wrong with that, by the way, except in cases where it's shoved down other peoples' throats (e.g. talking about the kids' exploits on & on & ON).
However. This article is stupid, spiteful, & unimaginative.
There's one thing it doesn't take into account. It's perfectly normal for new mothers (in particular) but also for new fathers to go on & on about their precious offspring. It would actually be unhealthy & kind of bizarre (and even pretentious, I would venture, i.e. 'look-at-me-I'm-still-talking-about-all-sorts-of-other-things-even-though-I-have-a-3-week-old-at-hom e kind of pretentious) to not do so, especially in those early stages. FFS, I was a non-breeder for 35 years. I waited a LONG time to have my son. I studied. I worked. I had fun. I read books. I talked to friends. I still do these things, now that he's (already!) 14 months. But for god's sake, they're only little for a short, precious moment in time. Let us have our moment, let us be indulgent parents & show off their pictures & talk a bit more about our babies than is considered to be good taste. It doesn't last long!! It would be a very closed-off, unimaginative person indeed (actually, a pretty cruel one) who wouldn't let new parents obsess a bit about breastfeeding (come on, how long does it last?!), about weaning (merely a couple of months) etc. I'm loving talking about my boy, I know it's only going to be a few short years of my life that I can be so interested in all his little delicious idiosyncrasies. Then he'll be a teenager & will say 'muuuuuum, leave me alone!!' And it'll all be over & I'll be (in spirit) a non-breeder again.
(It's a different story when mothers / fathers- although it's usually mothers I hate to say- don't grow out of that early star-eyed phase & go on & on for years on end).
