[quote=Anonymous]Interesting question. I do think it's probably partly cultural. Lord knows I have MANY concerns and gripes about my DC, but I feel like if I talked about them casually, other moms would ostracize him and thing he's a bad kid. I do talk about my concerns with my closest friend and sister. But I think that's a little different from what you're describing. Maybe it also has to do with the culture of intensive parenting here in the US, where all the pressure is on being a Good Mom, and complaining about your kid makes it seem like you, the mom, cannot hack it. So it's less about the kid than the mom. [/quote]
