No 2shoes!!! No-one will have thought that!

2shoes · 07/09/2010 15:40

honest to god one person did,
the very thought made me angry, I would never attack other sn parents like that.

amberlight · 07/09/2010 15:43

ruddy heck, someone thought it was you, 2shoes?? Shock

roundthebend4 · 07/09/2010 15:43

I figure if you had something to say would say it along with the rest of us I for one don't think it's yu 2 shoes

and I thno the fac they have namechanged says it all really ,maybe someone wanting to try a bit of trolling

lisad123isgoingcrazy · 07/09/2010 15:46

wondering if the person that asked if it was you, is really the OP!

SauvignonBlanche · 07/09/2010 15:52

Shit!
I posted on that vile thread saying I had won the 'Top trumps' having a SN child and having lost a child, forgot to add that I have a disability myself! Wink
Not going back to grace such a horrible thread with my presence.
Don't believe for a second that OP didn't have one particular poster in mind. Angry

aww no she is a person I know in rl as well, she did say it didn't sound like me iynwim, so at least she gave me the benefit of the doubt.
sadly we will all be watching our backs.....

mouldies anyone:o

SanctiMoanyArse · 07/09/2010 15:57

'I never know whether to believe the people who say they have a disabled child in those sorts of rants. As although life is hunky dory for us now I can remember when it wasn't and I can remember how much I struggled with what I called the 'ugly' feelings associated with severe disability. Everyone I know in the same situation has felt the same (we've talked about it) at times.'

Absolutely agree: several years on it's become ahrd to separate my life from otehrs becuase this has become the norm and what I expect

When it started I was a mess

But then since the carers shouldnt get support shit I rarely come here now and will stick to SN and camping for good LOL.

2shoes FWIW It was blindingly obviously NOT you.

SanctiMoanyArse · 07/09/2010 15:58

There's a carnival club called WILF (why I Left

Who fancies being a WILM(a)? Wink

lisad123isgoingcrazy · 07/09/2010 16:02

lisad123isgoingcrazy · 07/09/2010 16:03

I am not sure I really get the point of what the person is trying to say on the other thread but "special needs top trumps" is pretty sick.

unfitmother · 07/09/2010 16:14

I don't get it, whatever happened to, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything? I don't think I've seen that top trump attitude on mn, rl yes but mn no. And to describe your own life and that of your child as shit is just vile. Maybe I'm doing all this sn thing wrong then because as a family we are all fairly happy.

TotalChaos · 07/09/2010 16:29

yep dino, the OP lost me at the thread title point.

guess some people only want to see fluffy bunny spins on SN and British stiff upper lip.

MissTired · 07/09/2010 16:34

i havent seen the post and now im unsure whether to look as it doesnt sound like it would be a nice read, my ds had his first day of sn school today and i am so proud i am so happy i really dont want to spoil that so im not looking

I think the OP in that thread has it wrong about who is smug.

snowmash · 07/09/2010 16:50

Hope I didn't sound pretentious...the assumptions she makes about her daughter's future bug me (I 'only' have severe phys dis, but still got 'you'll never do A-levels', and 'you'll never do a degree'...and in honesty, I know young people with MLD/multiple disabilities who had far more 'action' than I did at specialist college, as I had to fit A-levels around all the '24 hour curriculum' joy Blush ).

If people want to discuss, I don't understand why they post on AIBU and are venomous :(

amberlight · 07/09/2010 16:55

Yup re assumptions regarding her dd. Unless her dd is life-limited and about to meet the end of her life, there is hope aplenty. Just a long hard struggle whilst the technology and therapies evolve.

Hell, for the first ten years of my life no-one in their right mind would have thought I stood a chance of a relationship either.

siblingrivalry · 07/09/2010 16:59

That thread is beyond vile -I couldn't believe what I was reading.
The cowardly OP has effectively ruined a much-needed source of support for Riven, if she has driven her away. Cowardly beyond belief to hide behind a name change.

SauvignonBlanche · 07/09/2010 17:01

OP has buggered off, no doubt back to her old name, Angry
