Is it necessary for a rebellious mother--you know, one who insists on being a real human--to have a placid, submissive child? I often find myself very inconsistently hoping and asking for compliance and naps and quiet independent play from my bambi so I can write, read, booksell, breath. This doesn't have to be this way??? Does it? I guess independent play leads to human-y adults... I was annoyingly submissive as a child but now I'm not. At all. So maybe it's ok? I know I was like that because of cultural conditioning and sexism though and I'm afraid it's seeping through to her despite all our best efforts and crossed out sexism in all her books.
