One of my favorite things about reading the New York Times and other liberal publications is how they frequently present age-old ideas weve all known about for centuries as new trends. For instance, sustainable eating? Thats what the rest of us call a garden. Co-parenting? Thats what the rest of us know as a two-parent family. Localvore charcuterie? Where I come from, thats always been called bacon.
Now, the NYT presents the brave new world of teaching your children table manners. I cant decide if its encouraging that parents actually want to do this or depressing that theyve just discovered it might be a good idea and are now outsourcing it because theyre too wimpy to do it on their own."
