I haven't seen the film but i find it's easy to laugh at satire. Until you find yourself being asked to laugh at yourself. Then, all of a sudden, satire becomes ridicule that's "offensive". Best to take it for what it is and have a good laugh.

But satire is the use of humour to be critical. So the point of the scene is to criticise natural parenting values alongside criticising e.g. abusive parenting.

But if something has a solid base and is worthwhile surely it can withstand criticism.
