WTAF, some of you lot need to get out more, see a counsellor & sort your fucking selves out. So much bitterness & bile on this threadHmm Jeez, how miserable must you be with your lives if slating some poor mum on the Internet based on a few sentences, where she's asked for advice, is your entertainment Hmm

I did wonder if there was other health problems at play with the DD, if someone seems less panicked by a D.C. having an illness or accident, the reason is far more likely that it's something they've become used to & have had to learn to stay calm with for the DCs sake, than bloody child abuseHmm gat a bloody grip & stop being such nasty witches 👍🏼

Glad to hear she’s ok OP. To be fair the thread title is misleading and the op is very brief. If you’d said ‘DD had been in immobile due to collarbone injury’ instead of ‘poorly’ they you would have had very different responses. Poorly makes everyone suspect meningitis or sepsis or some such! I hope you’re DD is back to full strength very soon.

This has made me wonder why I even bother trying to help someone by replying.

OP, I’m so glad to hear your DD is fine. But if you had included a couple of very key facts in your question, many of the responses to you would have been different. The collar bone injury & the autism were not mentioned, so we could only respond on what you had said.

As for the post by Hippy, words fail me. What a bitter, unkind, unhelpful post to direct at people trying to help. And so ironic, as actually It is clearly you who is spouting the most “bitterness and bile”.

So dont compare my 3 year old to your 3 year olds because I'm sure she is very very different.

Well given that you didn’t actailly TELL anyone in your OP that she was different- how were they to know? You also said “poorly” which to most people indicated an illness of sorts. So people RIGHTLY told you that wasn’t normal (it isn’t) and to get her checked out (which you did)

I think the phrase you were looking for was “thank you”. Hmm

Piggy I'm sorry my post offends you, it wasn't aimed at you, but there are a few very unkind posts on this thread that more than imply the OP is neglectful, which is totally unnecessary when the OP is simply looking for advice. They are the ones my post is aimed at.

You can't win on here sometimes, too much information has it nit picked to shreds & sarcastic comments, too little & you are drip feeding Confused sometimes people are too backed up with dealing the actual situation in hand to go into too much detail, especially relevant with sick kids, so actually not being neglectful at all & they just need a simple answer to a straight question, which is how I read this.

I did think swine flu tbh, as my cousins daughter had this leg thing as a first symptom when she had it, my daughter had similar with it too.

Having a DD with health problems myself, with all the weird & wonderful signs & symptoms, I know how easy it is to trust your instincts that a situation is okay & then question yourself as you know another mother would likely freak when faced with the same symptoms. Some posters make no allowances for the fact that others aren't them & are unnecessarily rude & accusatory. Surely asking a question, rather than throwing neglect accusations at some poor sod who is simply asking for quick advice would be the kinder thing to do?
