I'm not at all surprised at this. I've met some parents who are pretty alarmingly immature.

Actually, now that I think about it, we had an incident with the mother of one of my daughter's friends who decided she didn't like my daughter. I can't remember why now...but the woman had a MySpace page with pictures of herself at anime conventions dressed up like a 14-year-old. It was really pathetic. She was like - 35 years old.

She said some things about my daughter on MySpace. We just blew it off. But the one time I met her face to face after that she wouldn't look me in the eye.

It's fucking scary, but we have a lot of people who just never grow up.

And that said, I tend to agree with will and analog.

It's a fucked up situation, but not much that can (or should) be done about it.
