Perhaps, It wasn't them- it was YOU!

Okay, so my son just told me pretty much the same thing that @YardleySisa said (except for the liar part) I had no idea that this group had been together at least since 2006. He explained to me that you are more like a family and not like my quilting or facebook groups. My kid doesn’t know how many are in the group, but that most of you are taking exception with me except for the lady we met in the elevator. She has yet to comment. OMG, I’m so sorry. Given that, I understand why you thought I was jumping in and changing the flow of the group. So, my child just gave me the background on several group members and shared ups/downs/ kids etc. I’m sorry. I had no idea. I didn’t have a question, I had a perspective. My perspective wasn’t meant to attack any of you, it was to grab the attention of a specific type of parent. I never, for once, thought that this was a small group. I thought it was a place for people who had questions or suggestions could share them in with a modicum of decorum and get some answers and share perspective. This post has been read by many people, yet you are the ones who were upset. If just one person was able to see themselves in what I expressed isn’t that doing a bit of good? I was never here to discuss my kid but to speak to certain parents. And, if @toowonderful feels better calling me stupid… then so be it. I think it is ignorant to believe that your way is the only way for kids to succeed. Muddle on your own? I see no reason to go there. I thought and still believe that I was having an adult conversation with grown people who could handle views different from their own. You are the closed minded people that have implied that I wasn’t 100% truthful etc. I’m guessing that you should really close the group so you don’t have to listen who don’t think like you all seem to. Just wondering… what part of the country are you all from? Also, I don’t need to hide behind a name. My name is Lisa. I’m thinking I just may stay here… I’ll just be the “drunk uncle.”
