Oh god I read that. "Humorist" in quotation marks is right.
I think the reason so many people have reacted so strongly -- the great majority of them agreeing with me that Neal Pollack and his wife, Regina, appear to be crappy parents who should never have spawned -- is because we're living in an age when crappy parenting seems to be the norm.
I am one of those people who believe they never should have spawned.
So? Lots of kids bite. My cousin did. He's a perfectly normal guy now. His brother never bit and he's perfectly normal too.
Just because X kid is easier than Y kid doesn't mean they have bad parents. Some kids are just easier than others. I was a very difficult child. My sister and brother were very easy children.
