11-Year-Old Billy Ma Gets to Know His New Service Dog (Part 2) - A Paw Nation Special Series (Pawnation OLD)

Oct 14th 2010 2:36PM I agree with your love for this story & political position, but am embarrassed by your lack of tact and obvious lack of education shown by your inability to spell words that my 5 year old can spell.

Tree Branch Kills 6-Month-Old: Who Is to Blame? (ParentDish)

Jul 6th 2010 9:35PM While I can agree with your point, Lenore, it is the cold way in which you chose the arrangement of some of your words that is going to prove upsetting to some people. I agree that a blaming a person (,city, organization...) is unfair to some extent. However, when a 6 month old child is ripped from their mother's arms and killed by having their precious little self basically crushed or smashed, one might not choose to be beyond emotion and mock the grieving family for wanting someone to help pay the expenses incurred due to such a gruesome tragedy. Lawsuits can be frivolous, true. Should these poor folks have to take out a loan to pay for the funeral/burial of their child who was killed (by an accident) on city property? I think there should be a middle ground. I also encourage you to have some consideration for those readers with real human emotions. Text book - right, application - maybe not.

...but that's just one mother's opinion.

'I Love Boobies' Breast Cancer Awareness Bracelets Banned in Washington State High School (Stylelist)

May 17th 2010 10:35AM I have. My mother died because of breast cancer that was not caught in time, as did other family members. I received diagnosis in time, and have responded well to treatment so far.

I say Kudos to anyone who can raise awareness in some way, at least get people talking. I have a T-shirt that says love boobies. I wear it a lot. Stop me in the mall and tell me I am being insensitive. Please. If you have such issues, you may want to seek counseling - you should have counseling during and after such an ordeal anyway.

Your Day Care Choice May Have an Impact on Your Child's Later Success in School (ParentDish)

May 15th 2010 10:52AM SKL, none of those things were said. I am not sure why you would put words in my mouth. Also, we are talking about daycare, not preschool. There is a major difference in the pre-K programs and having a child wrangler spend 9 hours a day with your child.

Let me start from the top with your comment. 'Extra special", Me. Yup! Special enough to be a mom, like so many lucky ladies. Check out my comments and see that I never once suggested that preschooled (or daycare) kids were stupid. In fact, I very clearly stated that I would never say such a thing. You state "Obviously (I) believe that no other human could possibly have anything to offer (my) children during a part of each day". Actually my children (and one is in school) are part of a network of families whose kids stay at home. We get together often. We each take time with all the kids to do something productive and enriching.

I am not sure how you can hear my tone through the keys here. I have no "tone", judgmental or otherwise. Just giving my own thoughts on my own choices.

You go on to suggest that most mothers are stupid and impatient, so their children are better off in daycare. Who is judgmental?

You sound very insecure, imagining that I am attacking your parenting abilities and choices. Did your mother not spend enough time loving, nurturing, and teaching you? (Oops, that was judgmental!)

Your Day Care Choice May Have an Impact on Your Child's Later Success in School (ParentDish)

May 15th 2010 12:38AM I have never been on any form of government assistance, lived in any assisted housing, or used any other service that is for less fortunate families. If you want to stay home with your children, you can find a way to make it work!

I would not ever say that the Jones' little Suzie isn't a beautiful, polite, little angel of superior intelligence. I too, have a tot that reads, all my children are above average intelligence. My 14 month old can match three syllable words with their corresponding pictures (and he didn't learn it from a video!). Blah. Blah. Blah.

My only point is that I care enough about my children to make sure my family and I are who teaches them the things that are going to make them who they will be for the rest of their lives. I care enough to invest my time and sacrifice things that are not necessities anyway.

"God could not be everywhere, so he made Mothers".

...if only it said paid daycare providers with various backgrounds who may or may not be filling in the gaps. Hmmm

Your Day Care Choice May Have an Impact on Your Child's Later Success in School (ParentDish)

May 14th 2010 3:44PM Nailpot, I am from group 1:
I was raised in daycare and it left me with far worse issues than academic performance. I actually had a high IQ when tested in school, but never applied well. I was raised by a single parent and so daycare was my life for years. I went to a good daycare that provided learning activities, but see how being at a daycare could have led to some of the problems in my childhood years.

I chose to stay home with my children as long as I possibly could. It has been a struggle. People do not seem to understand why I would choose to live this way (completely broke) when we were below the poverty line to begin with. I'll tell you. We don't need a giant place. The kids are not hungry. They have health coverage. I get to teach and nurture my children during these most impressionable years.

When I was young my single father worked hard to provide me with every possible comfort he could find. I thank him for everything he has done in his life to try to make mine the best possible. I only ever wanted my daddy, though. So, I grew up with 'everything' and am lucky enough to have realized that 'everything' is nothing without the love and guidance a child so desperately needs. I have had to turn the dining-room in our one bedroom apartment into a bedroom for our children. Our car will die at any moment. We do not have cable. We do not go out. We do not have a digital TV (or even a decent TV). Most of our possessions are second hand... I love my children and hope to help them have the best lives possible. I have the rest of my life to be pretentious, I'll spend a few years right here.
