Snippet:
The birth of the alpha boy was a planned event

It’s one thing to do these things out of love…to read to your child and sing to them and talk to them. It’s another to do so because you want to raise Superbaby.

I’d prefer to do both…so what?
Yes, but to do it only because you want a superchild is just disgusting. Almost everyone wants the best for their child, but pushing them by forcing classes, doctors, experts, etc. before they’re even out of diapers is disgusting to me. Soon parents who aren’t superambitious (and out to make a buck professing their obsession to others) are going to find their children behind because they didn’t play Mozart in their house 24/7 or hire Chinese, French, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese speakers to come and talk to their children for a few hours a week.
My problem comes in when parenting and wanting the best for your child becomes breeding and grooming a genius…which it appears is exactly what the people mentioned by the OP are doing. They are not parents. They are the owners of a well-bred showchild.
It seems to me that the woman in the article, Isabel Kallman has some issues after reading the entire thing. Where she snaps her fingers at catchphrases that sum up motherhood with one quirky sentence and refers to her childrearing as being similar to running a company. Refers to the team of nannies, babysitters, and teachers for her 2-year-old son…Two-year-old son as “the village” helping to raise her child. And wants to teach women how to have their own village. The word “perfect” comes up a lot in reference to her child and how she’s glad that her village is there to clean up after him and make sure he’s on schedule. There’s not a single picture where either one mom or son are smiling or even look remotely happy and there’s even mention where the boy says something and it seems like she just brushes it off, but then brags about how she boosts his empathetic intelligence by telling him how sorry she is that he can’t touch the green lights on the way to his toddler class.
It seems like the only normal person is dad…and I can smell some problems in their relationship over how they are dealing with parenting…perhaps that’s why there’s only this short blurb about him as the dad (the other mentions of him are about his career)…
