Hmm.
Well, I think it's a little bit sensationalistic. Not sure if that is on the side of the interviewer/writer or not.
It's definitely good to see portrayals of actual PG kids and families, but there's also always an element of...
what parent in their right mind would offer up a child for public consumption in this way, too.
I'm not sure I'm articulating that very well. But it makes me uneasy to write a "biography" of my child at 10, or 11, or 15; more particularly so if it includes elements of future expectations, or inappropriate pressures. Even among families with PG children, moving several times FOR THAT CHILD alone... that's extraordinary and then some. There's also a whiff of child-blaming for the failure of the parents' relationship which I find very, VERY sad... and while a child at 12 may not (quite) understand that in an intuitive way, once it's in print it'll still be there for him to read at 18. Or 25.
KWIM?
