You think someone's parenting abilities are in question because a child prefers new superhero Legos over more generic older sets?

Yes I just wrote it above. What part left you with a doubt?

I do think that it is indeed concerning when imitation is the only play a kid is able to perform. When a kid can only enjoy Spiderman lego sets that's because all they can play is basically an imitation of the movies they've seen.

Not necessarily; just because they only do imitative play with Lego doesn't mean they only do imitative play more generally.

Oh wow, yikes.

HN rules suggest "assuming good intent." I tried my best with your comment but saw absolutely none, so figured I'd double check to see if i was missing something. Guess not.

Where was the bad intent in my comment?

Giving an opinion is bad intent?

Did I insult anyone or sid anything inflammatory? Maybe you got mixed up with the parent who called my kid a liar.
