Why I won't let any male babysit my children

Holy shit!

I'm barely halfway into that piece of shit article and the only words I can muster to make sense of it are: "What a complete and utter fucking click-bait cunt!"

Now admittedly, that does sound harsh - but it is accurate when you look at the evidence (my italics):

... my husband and I made a family rule: no man would ever babysit our children. No exceptions. This includes male relatives and friends ...

Her dad? Brother (in law)? What the fuck has she been smoking?

Eight years, and another daughter later, we have not wavered on this decision.

By the way, this is not The Onion or The Daily Mash etc. - I checked - it's fucking real.

Group slumber parties are also out. When there is a group of excited children it is far too easy for one of them to be lured away by a father or older brother without being noticed.

What the f...?

When my daughter goes on play dates I make sure that she will be supervised by a woman at all times.

Uh ...

... child abuse by men is so common that taking precautions to keep my daughters safe is a no-brainer.

Umm ..

The blanket rule against allowing our daughters to be in the care of lone male adults means that we do not have to make a moral assessment of every man.

Jesus, love! Put the fucking crack-pipe away!!!

I know it's a hard line, some would say extreme.

Oh, and the pièce de résistance is the detail about the author herself

Kasey Edwards' new book Guilt Trip: My Quest To Leave The Baggage Behind will be released in May 2017.

The book's blurb says:

Now in her forties, Kasey reflects on how being a woman often feels like a test. One she flunks. From her body, to her mothering skills, relationships and career, Kasey has managed to feel guilty about just about everything. And let's not even mention the epidural, elective caesarean and baby formula.

Mother fuckerrrr .....

On the plus side she was absolutely slammed in the comments.

Daily Life is a publication of Fairfax Media. It's articles are then reproduced in The Sydney Morning Herald and other mainstream publications. Until recently it described itself as proudly female biased but finally wised up and dropped that. You can still see this stated on the old commenting policy here.
