See how I have like 3000+ posts next to my signature, and Jess has like 4000+ posts and others like DCH and Scout and pretty much EVERYONE else has been here for a really long time? Maybe you should back off a little before you get so antagonistic, OK? The women here are my friends. We share secrets, we talk about our kids and we disagree and argue sometimes. But, the shit you're doing...it's not cool.

I see that so many of you have thounds of posts behind you. I think it's really cool. I, too,

I came to this site because I LIKED the fact that you guys were able to debate subjects so heatedly in one thread but all was forgiven a minute later in another thread.

I had admired you most Pixie, because although our views differ so greatly, you were able to stand behind your convictions and defend them to the end.

I also had hoped this could be a place I could share secrets too and why I told everyone about my story and admitted I was wrong and specifically asked people not to jump on me for that one point, but it seems that's all anyone wanted to do. I wonder how differently it would have been had I not mentioned I spanked him.

If you felt my post in the thread about you helping your son with his paper was antoagnistic, it was not meant to be that way. I am a History buff and every year my father would take me to Gettsysburg, PA, so I was familiar with the subject. As for the comment about time management, as you mentioned you have over 3,000 posts and I have not gone back and read everything you ever posted, so I had no clue that it was already an issue. It was a simple observation that apparently wasn't far off the mark.

I did not come to Imperfect Parent to "stir the pot" with strangers, but because I am an Imperfect Parent that was happy to find other Imperfect Parents!

Yeah, it was way off the mark. Most kids have organizational issues in 4th through 8th grade, it's normal. How did your kids handle that age range, may I ask? Did they have troubles with keeping track of things during the transition to middle school or junior high? Because pretty much ALL of the parents I've talked to with kids this age say similar things. So, the comment about how he wasn't prepared *again* was only meant to be shitty. But, it's about as offensive to me as ciriticizing my 20 month old for her mispronunciations and suggesting she take a speech class, lol, it's just an indicator that you aren't really up on development. I take no offense to the statement, but I do think it's shitty that you meant to insult.

Snuffles, if I may, I think that what you're seeing has a lot to do with the long history of many of the posters. They know each other well enough that they have an unspoken line which cannot be crossed, but anything up to that is fair game. Or at least, this has been my observation as someone who is also fairly new here.
