What are your thoughts on John Rosemond? [View all]

I will state outright that he sets off my bullshit detector, and overall his vibe seems creepily retrograde and patriarchal.

I bring this up because his article "Your kids should not be the most important in the family" has been making the rounds lately, showing up independently four separate times in the postings of FB friends. I don't care to link to the article here, but it's easy enough to find, and it's of a piece with his apparent attitudes in general.

Any thoughts?
