and I have to say that I'm disappointed that I feel like I have to post it again. I'm not picking on any one person.
It really bothers me when members use derogatory terms to describe their difficult child's friends or boyfriend/girlfriend. I've heard loser, hoochie, Goth girl, pothead, etc.
You know, other parents out there are saying the exact same thing about OUR kids. And we wouldn't like it. So why is it ok to say that about someone else's kid? We of all people should be better than that.
I think it's safe to say that if we feel compelled to use those terms, we should probably realize that they are difficult child's in their own right.
And to be honest, I find it incredulous when someone is talking about their kid lying, stealing, doing drugs, won't get a job, dropping out of school, talk about their kid's loser boyfriend or girlfriend. I mean, really. Who is the pot and who is the kettle?
Anyway, that's what I have to say. You can get mad if you want. Or not. I just felt compelled to say it.
