Susan Newman, PhD has done it again…another great article.  This one tickled my funny bone.  In her latest post Coins, Warts, Asthma, Eczema, she discusses some “research” (if you can call it that) designed to show only children in a negative light.  Maybe it is just me, but asthma and eczema can’t possibly have anything to do with whether a child has a sibling or not.  My son was diagnosed with both maladies before he was even 1 AND we were still thinking about another child at that point.  For heavens sake people, at least come up with something that is hard to disprove.  Asthma?  It is a genetic disorder passed down through family members and caused by environmental irritants.  My mom has it, I have it and my son has it.  End of story.  If I had more children, they would likely have it.  At least I got a good laugh out of it. : )
