I just watched the clip and she doesn't even slam them. She says they "offered her solutions to a problem she brought to them; wanting to lose weight - and the solutions they offered were various diets".

She says it was in hindsight bad advice, which it is, but she isn'tsaying they should have known better or deliberately shamed her, just that, giving it thought, the advice could have been better. How is that "slamming them"? I don't get it, really. Plays into this idea that parents are supposed to be infallible and that her saying they gave out some bad advice means they were terrible or did something really wrong... when that's not even what she's doing. Not in the clip I saw, anyway. I'm sure I'll give my kids a tonne of pish advice as they grow up and I'll be happy enough for them to say so when they're adults .

I can only imagine that the idea that she's "slamming them" comes from the nonsensical and unhealthy idea that adult children should have some sort of reverence for their parents. Yawn.
