CJR Daily's take on the original coverage is here:
Giant Popsicle As Rorschach Blot, or "how to understand the fundamental difference between the New York Times and the New York Post."

Steve, your baby is beautiful. And lord, do I remember feeling that transcendent exhaustion you can see on his mother's face.

I don't get a lot of mothering drive-bys. I suppose I could be projecting some type of don't-say-it forcefield, but it seems highly unlikely, since I'm always the person chosen to hear someone else's "tinfoil causes global warming" theory at the bus stop. I think it's just that Canadians are more into silent stares of disapproval.
Most movie theatres these days have a designated matinee time for parents + kids under three, often called "stars & strollers" or something equally cutesy. It saved my sanity a few times last year while I was at home with a newborn.
Of course, that assumes you have a schedule allowing for movies on a weekday afternoon.
