(DailyMail) - A billionaire philosopher has endorsed a parenting technique that allows generous time for smoking, drinking wine and having sex. Elisabeth Badinter, a 68-year-old mother of three who is the 13th richest French citizen according to Forbes, has published a book about parenting the French way. Now, her controversial methods have sparked anger from U.S. mothers. Titled The Conflict: How Modern Motherhood Undermines The Status Of Woman, the book has led many mothers to speak out about how French women who preach about their lives, frustrate them.
