Hi MN - would you consider a separate Boarding board similar to the step parenting board?
Regarding: www.mumsnet.com/talk/education/4627099-first-time-boarding-missing-ds-so-so-much
This is not the first thread I have seen where an OP wants support or advice relating to boarding, and it's derailed by unsupportive or actively insulting comments from MNers who disagree with boarding as a whole, or making comments like "oh how the other half live" etc. Which is fine, everyone is entitled to their views and to post wherever they like - but it's not useful to the OP at all, who obviously has her reasons for being a parent of a boarder.
@Bekind2yourself @queenrollo @Festoonlights @dworky @catsarecrackers and other posters are fighting the good fight on there but the poor OP isn't getting much support.
If we had a board where parents could post relating to boarding without having to run the gauntlet of people who disagree with boarding, it would be incredibly helpful to people like poor old @muppetsmum who is getting rather savaged at a very raw time for her
