So pretentious
I had hopes that this magazine would be a nice alternative to the others out there. From the moment I opened it, it felt so smug. I gave it a chance and read it cover to cover (the April issue). But what finally did me in (after having read that I could buy an $800 blouse to make me feel pretty in that after pregnancy stage, that I could match my children's shoes to my Jimmy Choo's and finally that I could buy my child the latest $300 tricycle) was the article entitled "Normal" about a child who was misdiagnosed with Autism. The article discussed how distraught the mother was after her child was diagnosed with Autism to the point that she tried to committ suicide. The article ended with the fact that the child turned out to be a genius. What was the point of this article? To say thank God it wasn't true? What about those parents out there who have an autistic child, how does this article make them feel? The article was painful and insensitive. There are better ways to spend you $10 than on Cookie.
