[quote=Anonymous]It's not an American culture thing, but it's a subculture thing. There are moms who are very much FTK in American culture, who bond over making fun of terrible artwork and exhausting bedtimes and the rest, and there are moms who are Would You Believe What Larla Accomplished moms, who only highlight the positive and often think their child's normal kid accomplishments are spellbinding (a cartwheel! on her third try!!!). The ones who try to solve every problem are usually FTMs or very Type A, or don't know what you're looking for in the conversation and are trying to connect by keeping it going but failing by misreading your cues. Your assumption that they are offering advice because think you're hapless feels a little fatalistic, honestly. [/quote]
