Am I being over paranoid?

Tell me please if in the UK it is normal to send any parents who volunteer themselves to go to swimming sessions with 5-6 year olds to help in changing rooms and in the water with the kids?

ah btat apologies - I see you're not the same person, although I do still disagree with your point

pony insulting people really isn't the way to gain support for your cause...

ponygirl17 · 18/05/2010 15:18

Me insulting people? I have only asked a question, and I have received a string of abuse, am I not allowed to get wound up?

I thought my nn was quite nice!

scurryfunge · 18/05/2010 15:19

You have been rude to me ponygirl17. That last comment was not necessary

Headbanger · 18/05/2010 15:20

at the OP's disgust at 'scurryfunge'. Does this suggest a mind that will seek out the most disgusting interpretations of everything and anything, usually wrongly?! I think it is.

I actually find this really disturbing. Didn't the OP state early on that she didn't like her kids changing at home in front of family?? FFS. In what world are the bodies of tiny children shameful. This is so upsetting...

Abuse?

Where? Some people disagree with you. Forcefully. That is all.

hmmmm ... is this the OP too...?

ponygirl17 · 18/05/2010 15:26

Excuse me for not being quite as intelligent as the rest of you? I have lived in france for the last 5 years so am obviously out of touch.

I have 2 boys and 2 girls, who are all beautiful, but with ages ranging from 10 - 5 is it not normal to be able to get dressed undressed in private?? They have only just managed to get their own rooms for the first time in years (as my house burnt down, last year - no not a lie, check my posting on here if you want, and before that they shared) so I assumed changing in ones own room was normal? I also know someone else who was abused by her older brother, so it is for that that I thought I was doing the right thing. Am I really getting it all that wrong? Surely not, my children only know what it appropriate and very basically what is not appropriate behaviour, I havent scared them , but I have explained that certain things are not acceptable - why is this so wrong?

Show me some abuse that has been thrown at you. You have been disagreed with. That is not abuse.

ponygirl17 · 18/05/2010 15:27

er... no headbanger.

'Course getting changes in one's own room is 'normal', whatever the hell that means. I just genuinely and honestly think it's fucking tragic that these thoughts even occur to you.

You actually say (above) "It is for that that I thought I was doing the right thing". That makes me so sad I don't even know what to say. Truly.

ponygirl17 · 18/05/2010 15:31

Er I have been called an idiot, and an abuser, highly strung, told I need to go to a doctor... all in one afternoon, not bad eh? Oh and a liar - nice.

OP posts:
seeker · 18/05/2010 15:31

Did I misunderstand you - are you saying that you are protecting your daughter from the possibility of abuse by her brother?

If i haven't misunderstood you, then I really think that you might need some help of some sort - genuinely. That just isn't the way most people think - truly.
