Here's something which will make moms feel less guilty

I often read the Times for comments from readers. I think the interaction and discussion for many online articles are as compelling, if not more engaging than the article itself. This is the big deficiency in print versions of newspapers.

While reading the gut vs data debate while choosing a daycare article I found this interesting observation. "A clean, orderly house (while the children are there) means something different to me; a red flag, and my guess is that these kids in this clean house are watching a lot of television."

So I'm going to rationalize the mess and clutter my kid makes at home now! Yay, win win situation!
