	I was just testing some waters.

	I did find the original comment to be quite judgmental, and I was a bit 
reactive to it, because I often hear such stuff locally. Given the local 
context, I felt most of them are unjustified (and if I wanted, could 
often find plenty of flaws in their own parenting...). Some people just 
have certain "rules". If you don't hug your kid, you're a bad parent. If 
you don't throw birthday parties, you're a bad parent. If you don't buy 
your daughter dolls, you're a bad parent. Those rules are applied 
without looking at the whole picture.

	Based on your reply, that didn't seem to be the case there.
