psych care

Found this article about how many moms need psychological care (probably dad, too):

I think they really underestimated how many could use this. I can't count the number of parents who say their baby is greedy because it's always hungry, even when it has just eaten a few hours before. Yes, that's what babies do. Some eat every 15 minutes. Their stomach is the size of a marble when they're born. Don't become a parent if you can't handle the basic needs! I wonder how these mental issues gets expressed in the upper classes-- they hide it better with nannies and a high level of education. Maybe emotional neglect and abuse?
