re: Is criticizing the way someone raises their kids the most offensive thing you can do?

Many parents today deserve criticism. Too many are letting the school system and the internet raise their kids.

On topic, I recently attempted to have a constructive and loving conversation with my sister about her parenting of my niece and she said a few of the most hateful things to me that I've ever been told

I have an Aunt that's not really on speaking terms with anyone on this side of the family because she got called on being a "I want to be your friend, not a parent" Mom.

there are good parents in the spanking camp and good parents in the non-spanking camp

That debate drives me crazy because half of the time no one wants to ever acknowledge it's less about the spanking and more about consistently addressing your kid's behavior.

This isn't normal behavior between women?
