To be hugely offended

[Queenie6655]

Hello

Prepared to be told off guys but really bloody peeved

So as talked about on other threads fleeing dv and ended up back with my parents for a while

Lovely house
Old
Warm
Needs some paint
Stairs are rickety
But otherwise absolutely fine

Anyway
Health visitor here earlier and she was so so rude about the stairs
Said they were unsightly and it was a concern to her !!!!

She knows my situation
Knows we are stuck for cash

I just burst into tears and she left shortly after

So annoyed now
Don't have the money to get a painter in but rest of house is 100 per cent fine
Warm and safe !!!!!

I agree with pp, some of the posts on this thread are really goady.

Grim.

You're out because you've nothing to say when people stand up to you. Not because you think we're trolls - you know perfectly well we aren't.

Exactly sadpapercourtesan The bullies always run with their tail between their legs when they know they've been shown for what they are. I wouldn't their support for HV so much, but it is the goady smug posting, and the dismissing women on here, hundreds of women - and saying 'just report it', which proves how out of touch they are. If they weren't so smugly goady, dismissive and invalidating it would be different. As it is, they demonstrate the case against HVs so amply, they're an own goal for themselves.

*I wouldn't mind their support - that should read.

Ignore her.
The first health visitor I had had me in tears when she stated that breast fed babies never get oral thrush and it must be because of my poor hygiene (neither statement true!), slagged off our choice of name as ugly, and said that she thought I was wrong and selfish to have a baby with a man with a disability. I kicked the bitch out after that!
Some women should never be in these jobs.

Honestly, if this isn't trolling I don't know what is.

It's very disappointing that a parents' forum like this are hosting such bile against health care professionals.

I'm out as well. Not because I'm a bully running with my tail between my legs but because I no longer want to be associated with this thread and I refuse to be drawn in further by clear trolling.

That is shocking. But sadly not unbelievable. The sky doesn't fall down when someone is cutting to a vulnerable new mum and some women know this.

I don't understand the calls of troll when women are sharing genuinely bad experiences.
