honestly dana its ok -
when it comes to parening you wont' find a parent who isn't sensitive about it, we all want to think we know how to make our kids into the perfect snowflake of our ideals.
monster's and infinite monkey's ideas of how to achieve this are probably misguided, but they at least have one thing going towards having the right idea: just because its sensitive and uncomfortable doesn't make it into something you shouldn't talk about it, after all its sensitive because its important.
if she didn't bring it up, monster would have never had the oppertunity to understand that when examining it rationaly her way of parenting is a lot more likely to be harmful for her kids, and if she has the capacity to give feedback based on her assumptions at one point i am sure she has the capacity to get feedback about her assumptions and thus her own parenting.
i mean if she can do one but not the other and she hasn't looked into herself in order to find ways to fix that, is that the sort of role model she wants to be? i doubt it.
