Every time Mr. Estivill opens his mouth the reactions of fathers and mothers do not wait too long. Not long ago he made a few statements of those that leave you patidifuso and that here in Babies and more We comment and still kick reactions, especially in the network.
The reason is that we are many parents affected by his method and his words, not directly, because we do not apply the method, but indirectly because thanks to his recommendations to let children cry to teach them to sleep when we we are doing well (very) often receive advice from third parties (acquaintances, strangers, pediatricians, nurses, teachers, educators, etc.) to fix the "misfortune" we do with our children attending them at night.
The last criticism that I have read about it and that I bring you here today is one of those writings, in the style of what they did a few days ago in Good Night and Buenafuente, in which what we do with our children is extrapolated to the adult world, to realize that with them, with adults, we would not. Its about Maridill method, whose goal is to make a man, when he wants to make love with his wife, learn to satisfy himself.
What is the Maridill method
The topic is, summarizing a bit, in gradually teaching your husband how to make love without having to have his wife. It is an easy method to apply, with the only "but" of having to spend money on an inflatable doll.
Once you have it, you just have to wait until one night your husband asks you for a topic. At that time you take out the recent acquisition and, with love, telling him that you love him and that for you he is the most important thing, you explain that have to do it with the doll. At the beginning it may be reluctant, but little by little it will be done to it and in the end you will get what you most crave: sleep peacefully without a husband who asks you for yes day, day too, attention, kisses, caresses, etc.
Well, I do not reveal more because I think it is best to read the instructions completely to understand the whole method. For this you just have to go to the blog: The Maridill Method.
What do you think of this analogy?
From the writing I love the last sentence, which is the one that in a way just made sense of the whole method. Something like "with what they did to me, do not be surprised that now I do something similar to you."
I also thought it right to use the inflatable doll, which represents detachment and the artificial, in reference to the poster and the Pepito doll that Estivill recommends to replace parents.
As for the analogy between sleeping and making love, I confess that it discolored me a little at the beginning, because knowing how to sleep is only something that evolution gives us naturally (at first we need to sleep together and when we grow up we no longer we need it) and sex is different ... maturation and growth does not lead us to practice sex alone, but we start alone to end up accompanied in adulthood (oh, mother! I'm getting into swampy waters).
In any case, the important thing is to stay with the essence, with the message it intends to convey: when we are adults we appreciate the contact, affection, caresses and love of the people around us and it would seem an aberration to replace that need for contact and affection with artificial elements.
With children, on the other hand, there are several inventions that look for the same thing: the Pepito to hug, transitional objects, clothes that smell like mom next to the child, ... and, apparently, most adults think Normal, healthy and recommended. Intriguing, right?
