What about Maslow? What about his needs?

I was just splendoring in the days when I lingered in the top half of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Whoa the privilege. Though I dabble a bit up there, my days are consumed with the lower needs as my husband and I raise our younglings. Laying down that solid foundation through bottom wiping, Clifford cereal and arguments about no you can't have the pink bowl today, you're going to have to enjoy your meal in a white, yet zany bowl, yes I know the pink bowl is clean, but the white bowl was on top and since you're not a spoiled brat you should welcome the environment of not getting everything you ask for.

Then I was thinking about Maslow and his needs. I suppose he never quite got past Esteem Needs. Apparently he settled right into recognition from others, prestige and status. Oh yeah, there's this other stage, Self-Actualization, but don’t bother until you've created a popular pyramid and named it after yourself.
