Nice how he's more concerned about how the whole situation is going to inconvenience him, rather than figuring out that it's going to take a little more than a "time out" to curb this behavior. Salon likes to call their article "Mothers Who Think," but between this and all the articles Michael Chabon's wife has been writing for them, it's more like "Really Self Absorbed Parents."
