That may change as my daughter ages, I may turn into hilter-mummy at the first mention of boyfriends!HippyMummahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122818844638222976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722760615144717054.post-26210752040765588482010-11-05T20:43:40.442-07:002010-11-05T20:43:40.442-07:00The article you quote is paraphrased and being fro...The article you quote is paraphrased and being from Gen X I cant focus long enough to read the whole thing (or maybe its just coz Im at work and need to prioritize my time) but the implication that some behaviour is hardwired or genetic and therefore beyond reproach from environmental factors I find simplistic bordering on false. A lot of "personality" or "behaviour" that becomes set or hardwired is made that way through interaction with environment in periods of growth or imprintability or from massive shock/upheaval new info overload to the system. So while some traits may develop that are contrary to the ones being "coached" for a child surrounded by happiness and love is much more likely to grow to be happy and loving. I Dont need to read through any tedious studies to know that is true.<br /><br />As to farting on the 1st date, that depends on your definition of success. If you think u may want a 2nd date, then No. If its been discovered he/she/it is a cro magnon, bombs away!!!!<br /><br />Overily ProductionsSurlyDaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509393347710169476noreply@blogger.com
