<p>Speaking of high school sucking… see my new thread I’m starting, “Help! My daughter is the victim of a viscious rumor!” In the Parent Cafe.</p>
<p>Its funny, my H has met my Ds friends, and while the girls are nice enough, he has this 6th sense about a couple of them as far as “experience” goes…if you understand…kind of a male intuition</p>
<p>Suna, I know this to shall pass…it just hard seeing a sad girl :(</p>
<p>update:</p>
<p>both girls got asked to the dance the day before!!! by two friends who were just taking their time</p>
<p>happy campers all</p>
<p>the girls were fine going with each other, but were happy to be going with guy friends…so adorable</p>
<p>anyway, ladedah, just waiting to pick them up later…sigh…no relaxing glass of wine for me</p>
<p>hereshoping- I am absolutely serious in asking this. Is your mission on this forum to attack people? You seem to seek out psople to dump on in a very mean and abrasive manner. You have done it to me and to CGM. I am sure there are others, but I don’t feel like reading any more of your posts to find out. Please take a look at your motives and perhaps find another outlet for your anger.
Any parent with a kid who has been slighted and hurt in this manner would feel the same as CGM does- it is a natural response and this section of the forum is for the purpose of venting and seeking support and CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions. We are all willing to accept criticism when it is given in a thoughtful and positive manner. You seem to search the threads for someone you can blast.</p>
<p>Happy to hear the news - CGM - Please let us know how it went! I have learned that I can handle a lot of sad situations or feelings directed toward myself, but have a mama bear instinct where my kids are concerned. I hate to see them hurt. That doesn’t mean I do anything about it; I do love it when it all turns out okay in the end, though! I do hope the dance was everything they were hoping for. Hope you got some great photos, and they got some good memories.</p>
<p>The problem with a forum like this, in my opinion, is that people develop a history with each other over time. Therefore, a person may read one thread and wonder why a poster would seemingly jump in out of the blue to “attack” another poster. As I said in my above post (which was actually not harsh at all, but cgm decided to play the victim to paint me as a villain), I was giving my opinion. It is my opinion.I knew cgm wouldn’t like it, because she doesn’t like me. You haven’t read the extremely condescending, harsh, rude and insulting posts cgm has directed toward my opinions in other threads, obviously. For example, I have been told over and over on this board that because of the religion I follow, I do not have an “open mind.” I’ve been told I’m intellectually inferior because I accept the tenants of my faith “blindly.” I’ve been told I’m a bigot and a homophobe. I’ve been told that I vote the way my pastor tells instructs me to vote. I’ve been told my political party is run by fundamentalists, imbeciles, racists, homophobes and run by an ignorant, evil human being (GWB - referred to by some as bush -lower case b). </p>
<p>My opinions, usually conservative in nature, are attacked consistently on this board. Frankly, I’m of the opinion certain posters here won’t be happy until every conservative poster is gone. Many have already been bullied off of here. It cracks me up that a poster like cgm, who is extremely opinionated, consistently ideological in her views, a poster who holds back nothing when criticizing others, is defended here, while I’m asked why I’m “abrasive.”</p>
<p>So sorry, mowc. Others are just as “abrasive” as I am - in fact even more so. But if they’re left of center politically and socially,they get a pass.</p>
<p>If I want to jump in, I’ll jump.</p>
<p>CGM, I hope all the kids had a great time at the dance!</p>
