[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 227641, member: 1722"] Hi Heather, I would appreciate a heads' up about these sorts of posts (I think they come in waves) because I can't possibly monitor each and every post on this site (though I try). I don't want you to think I'm asking you to snitch or to tattle tale, but just help me make sure I'm looking in the right places when I log on throughout the day. Knowing that the overall tone of the site is being affected by one or a few members will be helpful to me to know so that I can react accordingly. Often, a gentle reminder is all that is called for from me. I also am uncomfortable with name-calling but I tend to look at the context of the post. Certainly, I wouldn't fault a parent for their ambivalent feelings toward a friend of their child that is helping them down a destructive path. Should we understand that these other people are other people's children or other loved ones? Certainly. But I would also hate to have everyone censor themselves so much that our threads become sanitized. People get angry and frustrated and, I think, parents of difficult children may feel it even more because of their child's antics. I think some patience and understanding toward our membership is in order as well. [/QUOTE]
