[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 647287"] Even using quotes around difficult child and P C did not prevent the automatic change so now my post makes no sense. I wrongly assumed that since the "acronyms" appeared in the text box "pre post" that they would post as written. it's very disquieting to have my post/words changed AFTER hitting the "post" button and makes me feel uneasy especially since posts can't be edited. I appreciate your right to censor this site - especially for obscene words - would have felt more comfortable were difficult child changed to *** to indicate that my originally written words were changed. For the record I do not feel that "difficult child" is an acceptable substitute for or interchangeable with difficult child. I also do not feel that P C translates to "easy child" or perfect child. If I had to define my kids, I'd probably call them troubled son and typical son(s). Really, to me -difficult child stood for "the kid who brought you here and makes you struggle as a parent." And it was nice that it was a unique phrase that didn't point a finger at or label our kids as difficult or troubled or addicted or bipolar or spoiled or special needs or narcissistic or violent or abusive or abused or brain damaged or Indigo... Sharing the acronym made us all related, sisters-in-arms if you will. Board aunties et al [/QUOTE]
