Hey, Terry!
I think you err in equating the maternal emotions aroused in a woman as 'smarminess". These instinctive reactions are the reason children survive and mankind continues. The existence of maternal protectiveness and urge to nurture does not preclude the teaching of values, ethics, morality, or sound philosophy.
Your friend may have accomplished these "objective" goals, in addition to being a nurturing mother. However, Ann, and I noticed this in Atlas Shrugged-indeed, it is one of the weaker elements-, has no comprehension of what is involved in raising children and is a very non-nurturing personality, and really skipped over the whole thing with naivet‚, and so I can't really grant her opinions (or yours)about motherhood a lot of credibility.
Your final paragraph made me laugh. IT was definitely NOT an example of A=A. But you're so cute, I'll forgive you.
