What you claim “she did” was " tried to rule out any reference to" there being two moms.

That’s why, when **kanicbird** wrote

**tapu** responded with anger at the reference to both moms, and most definitely did NOT respond with:

> [@My 16yo son ignored Mother's Day.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/my-16yo-son-ignored-mothers-day/719727/134):

Note that this is just one of several examples where she clearly does NOT try to rule out reference to his two moms. What, pray tell, makes these references different?
