Have a Great One!

Im taking a break, I think the whole santa thing has pushed me over the edge. Im here for support. not grief. I thought I finally found a board where people were supportive, I know I always try to at least end my comments with a supportive comment. Even when I completely disagree with everything Nanny does, I support her decisions, choices and feelings. I also try to respect the thoughts and feelings of whichever poster doesn't believe in Jesus, honestly I read on my ipod most of the time and don't pay attention most of the time to the posters name, since the print is small,... I really try not to personally attack others. I try to remain calm, think out my responses, and be kind with them.

I must say I was hurt deeply by the comment made to me about not being christian enough for someone. You don't know me, no one knows anyone. To be so mean to others simply because you can hit send and be done with it,.. that's so impersonal and not what Im looking for. I can get uncaring judgmental and plain meanness by going to a family dinner, Im surely not going to spend my naptimes on them. I wish you all well. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, (if you choose to celebrate) I have learned a lot of wonderful things from this forum and I guess I will see you in a few days or weeks.

I'm sorry to hear it, but understand your feelings. Sometimes these threads take a decidedly negative turn. Come back soon, you will be missed.

aw, many people agree with you and eveyone loved your story about the magic - vey cute. not everyone is going to agree on everything. don't let one person run you away - we like having you here.

i'm sure you are very confident in your faith so someone saying you're not christian enough would be silly. you know it's not true, and anyone who knows you knows it's not true. that's all that really matters.

I really hope to see you back sooner than later. We all need breaks at times, especially if we feel attacked. Just know that there are plenty of us who do respect you, and every one else here, and come for feedback and advice too. In our line of business we need all the support we can get!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I really like you and love to read your comments. I know it hurts but just ignore them. Be happy who you are.

To be honest, I am not a christian and I don't go to church since I was teenager. Last week, my daughter's teacher asked me a personal question but she was scared to ask me. I told her don't be afraid to ask me any questions that she may have. I wont bite her, . She asked me if I ever go to church and I told her the truth. It seems she is very respect with my decision. Honest, I am not bad person. It is my thing that I don't like going to church, that is all. I love my life and my family. Hope it makes you feel better.


Don't let them get you. I won't let them get me because I don't care what people think about me or anything else. Be strong.

You are only allowed a short break, then get back here pronto! I need you and your advice/support! Hope it's a restful one...you will be missed :-)

[kendallina]

laundrymom, I'm sorry some negative comments were made to you. I always enjoy your posts (whether we agree or not) and you will be missed while you're gone. Enjoy your Thanksgiving and I hope to see you back soon.

[Lilbutterflie]

I agree with everyone else here, COME BACK SOON!

I too value all of your posts.

[CKSher]

I am really sorry that you feel that way as I love reading your posts as well. As far as the "Christian" thing goes, a true sign of a real Christian is compassion, caring, thoughtfulness and humbleness, not Judgement! God is the only one who has the right and the knowledge to judge anyone, so people who are calling themselves Christians and then Judging others is very wrong and they need be very careful. I also believe and you may agree that it is also wrong to discrimenate against others due to their believes, just because someone is an atheist does not mean that they are less of a person we may choose to look at is as an opportunity to witness to others as we were called to do. Either way everyone has a right to their opionions and believes and hopefully this can be a lesson to all of us to learn to express ourselves and our believes without being judgemental towards one another. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and hopefully the time you get to spend with your own family will help rejuvinate you and get you back into the Merry Christmas spirit!

Laundrymom, I GET what you're saying. So, I hope after your break, you will come back to find a forum full of Holiday Cheer and lively spirits. Happy Holidays to you and yours, and don't stay away long, we'll miss you.

You can't just take your ball and go home...We need all sorts of voices here to help balance the forum. I enjoy your comments and have found your contributions very thoughtful. (I know you probably aren't even reading this right now but I like the sound of my own voice.)
Enjoy your Turkey Day and come back when the triptophan coma has worn off.

My posting of "Merry Christmas" on that Santa thread was an edit. I backspaced what I originally typed because it was to that person who called you "not Christian enough". I, too, took that as very rude and just HAD to say something. After I hit send, I decided I shouldn't stir the pot, so I edited to just say Merry Christmas. LOL!!!

:: There were many other things I wanted to say beside it was harsh but I didn't want to go on that level.

Laundrymom I always like your post whether I agree or not, they are insightful and loving even when you disagree with the person. When my daughter does stop believing in the magic I will tell her that she now needs to "become the magic" because of you and think that a great way to put it. I am so sorry the thread I started hurt you and it was never the intent for people to get worked up enough for personal attacks. Have a very blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas for those who celebrate.

Laundrymom, this does seem to be one of the most unkind sites I've ever been on so I am not as active as most. Even had a post deleted for saying the very same thing as this one. There are forums that I go to often that are genuine, supportive and no one seems to bad mouth anyone. I guess I come here to look at the train wrecks, so to speak. If you wish to know the other sites PM me, unless of course this too gets deleted.::
