to find it very hard to post on threads

[2shoes]

if I don't mention dd's sn......
for example the tve thread, I could have explained that they had tv's in their bedrooms, as dd has sn ans ds need some where he could watch a tv in peace, and as she has severe cp she can't do much.
but since I was told last week that mentioning the fact that your dd has severe sn is "trumping"
so wtf do you do???

2shoes please post the same as always .. I like your posts.. and stuff the trumping card ( pahh to that!)

seriously we all parent they way we have found that it has worked for us. sometimes we see if we can change it sometimes we don't.

sometimes I bring up ds2 and ds1 (smaller) issues issues.. because I either need a brain dump, or I can try and support someone else going through the same thing etc etc.

IMO it's actually helpful to know how other people do things particularly when all of our children have different needs.

trumping FFS
If this what some people think on here.. I may change what I post about ds2.. because the list is long for him.

Kerry, I like your style ("Tell them to fuck the fuck off baby."), that's pretty much my sentiments, but I'm just about too cowardly polite to say it like that

dont change 2shoes.you are a lovely mner and your posts are always interesting/funny/witty(i dont like your choice in men but thats neither here nor there ).

i missed the other thread and im shocked that someone would do something like that(was it a regular?)like i said,dont change!

The 'dragging it in for sympathy' thing makes me squirm in RL as well as MN. I tangled myself up a treat at work the other week (I'm freelance, so not a regular workplace) trying NOT to mention my elder son's SEN, precisely because it sounds like a sympathy call.

Trouble is, they were discussing secondary school places, and one woman with similar age kids kept asking (friendly, include-the-temp-in-the-chat) questions about where mine went, how we got a place when we aren't in catchment, how we get him to school, why all three go to different schools, how late mine stay up at night, how he finds the homework... Sometimes you just can't answer honestly withut explaining a bit.

It came up again at the weekend bunch of sort-of friends from a local scratch orchestra, discussing holiday care for DCs 'But your oldest is a teenager, isn't he? Why don't you just pay him to look after the other two?'

I wish!

Totally agree with Kerrymum.

Post as you always do, take no heed of ignorant bitches posters.
