To feed the troll or not ?
The thread was: "while my daughter cries for hours to be picked up"
toto explained to me: Chris, please don't feed the trolls. This one is obviously not real. Also watch the x-posts and you will be able to tell what is going on. I just thought the troll had a valid point. While we are all busy here telling each other how to be better parents, it is evident that some people spend a lot of time posting... We are evidently not paying attention to our children, or out working to put bread on the table. Yet we are all certain of what wonderful parents we are and how appropriate it is for us to advise and criticize. There are even some, who are just out sneering and scoring points. Are they winning arguments? Do they convince you ? It just seems sometimes a troll has more to say ;-) .....but OK I won't feed anymore trolls. I have no respect for their misuse of other people's identities. |

We are evidently not paying attention to our children, or out working to put bread on the table. Maybe, but who is who? How can you tell? My child (like many others, I'm sure) sleeps about five hours per day more than me. I can't go out and "put bread on the table" because I can't leave my child home alone. Nor do I need to be "paying attention to" my child as she sleeps. So what am I supposed to be doing with those five hours? And who is to day that it's wrong? That's not to say that I post a lot. I do when the thread strikes me. But that is my business, I think, and bears no reflection on what kind of a parent that I am, as seems to be your point. P. Tierney |
