For my column in The Denver Post today, I wrote about our failed Easter egg hunt last year.
Or rather, my parenting fail.
I submitted my article to my editor a few weeks ago and then the media erupted last week with the Easter egg hunt that was canceled in Colorado Springs because of aggressive parents. People everywhere were lashing out against “helicopter parents” (those who hover over and push their kids too much).
My article had “backlash” waiting to happen. I fretted over it a few days before emailing my editor whilst on vacation last week with a revised piece that hopefully would subdue my critics.
So far, no hate mail.
But it’s still early in the day.
