Why do so many posters think kids are chilling in comfy bedrooms armed with heating, televisions, internet and devices?
My son has a box room, just fits a bed in it and his drawers. No tv, he doesnt have a device, we share a laptop and I have my phone (which I use for work). And we are lucky, there are hundreds of families that barely have food on their tables!
Yes, I suppose if your kid is happy chilling in their room there is no harm but dont banish them to their rooms for gods sake.
My kids had noro, I looked after them, I washed them, I hugged them, I cleaned up their vomit, I cuddled them, I kissed them. Dammit, I PARENTED! Still amazed I didnt get poorly too but if I had, so what?
My kids are the most important thing in my life, more important that any other human being I know, and more important than strangers. I will ALWAYS put them, their wellbeing and their mental health above anyone else.
My son has done 2 SI , mid November to early december and now this week. No way in hell I'm banishing him to his box room for a month alone!!
Such cruelty on here. I work as part of my job in child safeguarding. I had a case last year where a child with down syndrome was being shut in her room, we had Social Services sent in and eventually that child was put into Foster care because imprisoning children within their own home is child abuse.
Fuck me! Every time I think this site has shown me the height of cruelty someone comes along and raises the bar.
