[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a thread talking about OP disliking her SIL for not allowing her kids to go trick-or-treating. The thread continues with lots of posters recalling childhoods where "moms" were too controlling about that kind of thing, or posters who know "moms like that."

OK, fair enough. But I think what you actually mean are "PARENTS," unless you are truly referring to a scenario where the father/other parent is completely out of the picture and in no way responsible for raising the child.

"Moms" aren't responsible/to blame/to praise for everything. Even if the particular decision/behavior originates with the mother, the dad/other parent is signing off on her decisions/is allowing her to be in charge of said decision. So even the most "passive" of dads/other parents doesn't get a free pass to be "blameless" for the decision.

Stop blaming moms for everything, and holding them responsible for everything, or even praising them for everything. Dad/other parents are involved, too, even if their "involvement" = choosing NOT to be involved.[/quote]

The irony of every single person reading this picturing you as a Mom. Which you most definitely are.[/quote]
