Glancing at the front page of that site, I see a lot of questions that most parents I know would respond to by saying "you're worrying too much", or something polite which would really translate to "lol wut?" As I'm sure you know, but which bears repeating: parenting.stackexchange.com, or really any other online community, is not representative of most people. Communities like that are self-selected and insular. Even open communities create and reinforce their own perspective. There are kinds of questions which become acceptable to ask, and kinds of responses which are acceptable to provide, but only within that small shard of reality.
