Therein dadness lies

Today, on The Free Society blog, Simon Hills queries the purpose of an organisation called Dad Info that "suggests fathers-to-be listen to baby in the womb, bond with children, stay healthy – no smoking, plenty of exercise, that sort of thing – and trades in clichés such as 'It’s easy to sink into slobbery once you’ve had a child'."

By complete coincidence (and I mean, complete coincidence), I have just received an email from the influential Reform think tank. It's an invitation to an event entitled "Is Britain forgetting how to parent?" and it says:

Chris Grayling MP, Conservative Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, will put forward the party’s plans to improve the value of parenting. 

When politicians start lecturing us about the "value of parenting" it's time to run for the hills. Meanwhile, I suggest you read Simon Hills' article HERE.
