I just joined another forum also. The first thing I noticed was the mean and critical atmosphere. I may not go back there. At least here it is a healthy and supportive place to be. I never feel foolish if I post my feelings, I know others feel safe here too.
Thanks everyone for being so kind.
I am members of two forums that I read daily. Lately, I have noticed that springtime brings out all the mean and critical people. Am I wrong or have you noticed that too.
Life is hard enough without all these meanies.
I live in north Florida and it must be the warm weather too. It was bright, sunny and in the 80's here today.
No. it isn't the people on the forums. It seems like all the meanies have come out of the woodwork and are criticizing us and our kids. Maybe it has a long winter or because we just had a full moon.
This is a great forum because everyone is extremely supportive. I have learned so much on this forum. I feel safe here too. We have alot of fun talking about our kids, and not just the bad stuff. We have a great thread about ADHD home decor going right now.
My other forum deals with a chronic pain condition called RSD/CRPS. On that one we were talking about all the insensitive people who don't believe or understand what it like to be in chronic pain. It just seems like they have all come out of the woodwork there too
I think it is the moonI belong to 3 forums to be exact and one I am a moderator on but have not noticed the meanie thing for me it is constant. I love telling off rude people and most recent someone said to me " if she were mine that child needs a good beating" and I replied the truth "well first of all she is not yours and second I work for CPS wrong person to discuss beatings with" she walked away fast with her kids. It's because they got their Computers for Xmas, and are just now figuring out the internet!Gosh, you'd think spring would cause good moods and kindness! Sorry for those of you encountering "meanies."
