Wondertime Bites the Dust
Posted on 28. Jan, 2009 by Brian Reid in General
Generally, I hate parenting magazines, but I had high hopes for Wondertime, which was a Disney offering that approached a number of dads I know and respect to write for them. They eschewed the silly mom’s-club orientation and — apparently — did pretty well in the magazine-ad bloodbath that was 2008.
But Disney has now pulled the plug, so parents wanting thoughtful, non-gendered parenting stuff are going to have to stick to the interwebs.

I was so bummed about this. Like you, it was one of the only parenting mags that I actually read (as opposed to skimming because skimming parenting mags is actually a job requirement). Their point of view was realistic and positive as opposed to all the fear that’s published in a lot of the other mags. Quite a disappointment…

I had never heard of the magazine. Now that I have, I’m sorry to see it go. Although I doubt one more subscription would have saved the boat (it wouldn’t have hurt).

“Anyone who calls at-home mothers “gold diggers” does not speak for me.”
Why not? It’s true in many, many cases.
