I invite you to re-read what I wrote. Very little of this is about defending Renee's parenting and is instead a commentary on the insistence of Meyer to vilify a woman who does not conform to traditional female roles. I think you should also evaluate your feelings on this matter and question why you believe there is only one way to be "a good mother." Further, I think you contradicted yourself. Based on your argument (that Bella was responsible for much of the household chores, as are many children) she was raised to be extremely independent. Her subsequent dependence on Edward, then, is not a product of her mother's "negligence" but of her own self-inflicted loneliness, which is rooted in the fact that she sees herself as above her classmates.
