To the OP I would say that just because a mother has different views than you doesn't make her arrogant. She probably has put hours of research into her parenting. It just amazes me sometimes how if someone has different beliefs in parenting, they obviously are first timers and have no clue. Well, I must be really dense to have not grown out of these behaviors five kids later!
Just got to say..I heart you!! You sound so much like me.
I could have wrote that second sentence except it would be 2 (hopefully 3 soon) kids.
