I have plenty of similar stories. It's been a frustrating experience; I know parents who've had really intelligent, insightful advice about nonviolent ways to raise kids, and deal with difficult situations. But I just can't spend too much time with them, because it's hard to carry on when the topic of conversation turns to toxins, or homeopathy, or whatever. On the other hand, I'd rather hang out with them than (for example) the woman who told a group that she wasn't even going to try nursing, because her breasts were for her husband. WTF.
