Just another example of someone trying to get a little support, and you responding with a nasty comment. Do you know how to be kind? Is your life really that bad? Kirsten, if it was, would this response make it better, and more likely she'd be helpful, or worse? Sometimes it's a good idea to just lay low for a bit, and get to know who people are before you post. Learn a little about them, what they face, what they've been through, what they've done about it. People here are mostly pretty decent people, but everyone's got a story, y'know. I expect you do too. In a big room full of people you didn't know, you'd probably get to know 'em a bit before getting into the heavy talking, right? You'd wait to see how the land lay, who might have some shared experiences, stuff like that. You probably wouldn't vent straight off....at least, I don't suppose most people would. It's not so very different here. If you've got some things you want to talk about with respect to single parenting, why not start a new thread, toss out some thoughts (but steer clear of the ex bashing stuff), and see what kind of response you get to that? Most people can separate from a flame war and cut to the chase. I'd certainly respond to posts like that with my best efforts at support, and so, I think, would lots of other people. Good luck to you, whatever you decide to do. Cele THAT has got to be one of the most patronising posts I've ever read.......and I've been on the group about 5 years I think (absences excluded). Okay, now I'm starting to get it. Dolores, I was posting to ***Kirsten***, not to Maureen, as I clearly state above. My post was in response to the flamewar that was getting roaring. Kirsten responded to my post with one that gave no indication of finding my comments patronising, and some indication that she'd found them helpful. HERE is my response to Maureen: Message-ID: I actually took the time to read the post and appreciate that not everyone is endowed with good grammer. The original poster may well be dislexic....we dont know. Did any of ye think to ask.....doubt it!! (Mind you, it is a long thread and havent read them all.......so I am open to being corrected....this time) I read and responded to the original post, as cited. On reading the post I think it's genuine and the poor girl is having a bad time. Well she must be....to come out with a statement that she is a bad mother......I was there once.....I thought *I* was a bad mother.....so I know how it feels......Unfortuantely I wasn't lucky enough to have family nearby or ASSP. Jesus!!....Some of ye that have joined this group are real arrogant arseholes! Just my 2cents! I think you might need to get some change.... [g] Cele LMAO Would that be cheque or cash? Dolores |

Welcome
The most important thing about single parenting (or any parenting) is to do the best you can. Be kind and patient with you and your children. Most often we are easier on them than ourselves. Your children will be OK. Because of you and in spite of you. Single mom for 15 years I top post, because to me that is the order.

Trying to be helpful in her sentence structure? Didn't think so. Kristen, there are people here with vision problems, with learning disabilities, with all kinds of characteristics that might have made that particular post hard for them to read. Maybe she's just saying that it's hard to read. Maybe that's the whole point of that comment. Cele |

It says it all, really, and it's true. Seriously, Kelly, top-posting may be something that you do for whatever reasons, but for some of us, it really does make it hard to follow. I know I, for one, have some troubles following threads for a few reasons, and when they start getting longer and full of those damned all over the world, it really can be a challenge to follow and focus on. I guess, if all else fails, there's always the lovely killfile, but seriously, could you mind the top-posting? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet? |
