My blog, Violins and Starships is here: http://www.lynnspace.com/blog/
I link to (and sometimes comment on) a lot of different interesting stuff I find on the Web - weird, fascinating, funny, artsy, other blogs, etc. - and a couple of times a week I write a little about what's on my mind or what's going on in my dull life.
Advice? As the mother of a 27 year old and a 23 year old, I think I'm qualified so... My advice is just enjoy life. There will surely be times when things don't go so well; there will be pressure from all sides to do everything just right; everyone will think they know more about your child than you do. Just ignore those people. Ten or twenty years later you'll wonder what all the fuss was about and you'll regret the time you wasted on things that seemed important at the time. If, when your child is an adult, he is one of your best friends you will have been successful.
Who ridiculed anything? I thought it was posted just to show the change in attitudes since the 50's, which is amusing. Maybe they're actually ridiculing today's attitudes.

I feel this impatience myself but I can and do read long articles and even whole books online. It just takes a little self-discipline.
