Well, I took the liberty of checking out her journal. Which is fair... she did it to me first. (Don't comment, please - I like to limit my drama quotient.)
Apparently, what we're doing is "imposing our values on others without regard for situation or context".
The situation is that pregnant people are, by definition, speshul*, and are allowed to break whatever rule they want to make their lives easier. (This didn't work when certain parties tried it in the carpool lane, but I suppose it works when you're actually inconveniencing others, yes?)
*This is different from merely special by virtue of being obnoxious. I know plenty of non-speshul people who have been pregnant and *still* weren't obnoxious about it, but, apparently, her mother is just different.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is how *not* to teach your children values.
