Sunday Surf: Misery as a requirement, breastfeeding mermaids, & mini-Bronies

Sunday Surf with Authentic Parenting and Hobo MamaWelcome to the Sunday Surf, a tour of the best blogposts I've read throughout the week.

Sunday Surf is back! For today! I'm not promising to keep this up weekly as in the past, but every once in awhile, I have links and other resources I just wanna share. To make life easier for me, I'm going to embed them from the original share source. Hope that works-ish.

Here we go!

Hobo Mama wants you to know she's a professional blogger! Look at how professional she's being!

I've never understood why we'd want to train our kids to endure misery.

Now I want a mermaid photo!









My project for the week! Our sofa is disgustamundo.



I've got my homeschooling activities ebook back up for sale! Just $3.99 on Amazon. I'm seeking reviewers — let me know if you want a review copy.



Speaking of which! Natural learning ftw.



This whole series makes me snort-laugh. I love that generations upon generations of painters have accurately portrayed women tolerating being talked at by men.



So. Dumb.

A new article in the journal Pediatrics is calling on health professionals to stop saying that breastfeeding is natural, arguing that doing so gives the impression that natural parenting practices are healthier. The authors have started a public campaign to end the positive use of the word natural, claiming that it is associated with such "problematic" practices as home birth, homeschooling and the rejection of GMO foods, and that natural parenting movements are interfering with vaccination efforts.

Apparently our family is problematic.

Exactly! Not sure why anyone feels the need to gender-shame little kids (or anyone).

I was much more scared of this slide than the 17-month-old. He had a blast and was like, "Toddler area? Pfft."
