@bcs90 You’re in a science-based sub and part of the process of science is being open to critique and discussion. A self-published article on medium should be very much open to critique. It’s a pretty nasty stretch to tell someone to be better (as a parent) on a science-based parenting sub for...

@alearose Here you go. I think we will have to agree to disagree, because I think we are seeing the comments how we want to see them. I see very few like the top of this chain about feeling shamed by the medium article.

@alearose Read some of the comments in this thread. There are things along the lines of “but you make enough money to have a nanny, why are you sending your kid to daycare?” The problem with the medium article is two sides of the same coin. One is the article itself and the limitations of the...

@alearose Right but the thing is it seems like this medium article is often dragged out with intention to shame people’s choices. Add onto that the issues that have been pointed out with the medium article and maybe folks should take it with a lump of salt.

@brownwarrior22 I’m sorry you experienced the stress of this situation and that they didn’t communicate well. My understanding is that so early on, an abdominal ultrasound isn’t very useful. My practice won’t see you until 8 weeks and it’s been vaginal both times. I had an early miscarriage...

@bcs90 It’a not a study. It’s an article that tries to synthesize a number of studies. Even within a study, it is possible to dive into and even control for specific circumstances. You see this a lot in social science…”Controlling for X, Y, and Z, we have found that A is significantly higher...

@lizmoshes I’m not saying it’s on the author necessarily. I’m saying it’s on readers in this sub to understand the difference between an anonymous online self-published article and peer reviewed research. I’m not saying the author has to put that info out there, but that people should...

@lizmoshes That’s fine, but they then also don’t stand up to the same scrutiny of scientific publications and shouldn’t be held up as if they do. There’s another commenter on the thread telling OP to be a better parent because they critiqued the article, which would be inane any way you slice...

@fromtheearth I don’t need a feeling for who they are. I would prefer transparency. What is their name? What is their field of study? What is their academic affiliation? This same author has (rightly) critiqued Emily Oster, against whom some of the concerns leveled are drawing conclusions...

@dkeefe Thanks OP. I have issue with the article as well, I’ve shared in a comment on another post: I’m not saying that their argument should be dismissed outright. First, the author has written on Medium mostly about climate change with a smattering of other topics. I’m someone who believes...
