[QUOTE="buddy, post: 479366, member: 12886"] Oh, I was so sad to read of the conflict here, we are all passionate about our kids and I think also about helping and supporting each other, which is bound to end in some misunderstandings. I honestly do think it is simply a manifestation of the board being type written, and no vocal inflection/facial expression to help immediately know when things are more tongue and cheek, light hearted and also to clarify misunderstandings (yes it is different here, sweets are generalized to everything and in many places they specifically mean, candy). I see the logic and helpfulness in this thread. I think it hits many people to search thru which of the sugary foods, or of any kinds of foods, set off kids behavior. I think Malika sorts through things very carefully for her son to try to find ideas for preventing things in the future and also because she is in a stage of this process where she knows SOMETHING is up but what exactly???? It is hard to figure out. It would be nice if it could be more fixable things like food sensitivities (in whole or at least in part-something that could at least help him a little). Right now there is fear thatthere is something really serious that is going on (just assuming Malika--of course feel free to correct me) and that is a very scary place to be. Having lived in England for several months (not long but I did have to go through cultural adjustments) I see the humor and how Malika handles things in the end as a form of saying.....I know these are not life shattering events (esp. given some of the very life shattering events on this board at times-it is not a competition obviously, but saying Well, it is not a super important thing, just wondering.... is kind of a way to say, I get it that it may not be a child running away and never coming home again, so thanks for your time everyone...) I think it is her way of thanking everyone who really took time to listen to her. At least that is how I have heard it. Even in the thread about the giant, it took a turn for the humorous and I enjoyed that little break. I remember posting and hoping Malika understood that I was just having fun and then I saw her reply and thought, yay she got it that I wasn't picking on her, just joining in after her teasing us about not being the philosphers that her son is.... I hope I read it right, I thought it was a little bit of humor (born out of a very interesting way of a child thinking---the point of the post in the first place). You are both such lovely people. Malika dont leave, truth is there are so many of us, we wont always see eye to eye. I think there are many here who can be your soft place to land, including Janet. You are going through a hard time all on your own. I would miss you dearly if you were not here. This post is a huge risk for me, I have told you all before how I panic and dont handle conflict well (internally, outside I actually do well in my life). This is probably not even my place, but I sincerely do care for you all so much....... [/QUOTE]
