Maybe I'm being naive but I doubt mine do. There's so much I'd like to ask about or say sometimes but then I'm wondering if they were to find this place, if they'd see themselves being talked about.

If they do they found this place on their own, I'm sure not going to call their attention to this place and what I might say here. :

That's why I would never risk it. I have been in and out of this forum for years! But I have no interest in registering or giving any identifying situations. I like to read everyone's similar issues and I give my opinions but I am too scared to give clear details on anything. And some of you guys are findable online, I've looked- because I'm curious. You guys are brave! But, I don't want any parents looking at my complaints... I don't even mention this place to other ECE peeps I know for fear they'll see something familiar and know it was me!Comment

I have 3 families. 2 of which i love. They follow the rules and their kids are great. Then i have that one problem family. That is the family i come here to vent about or Ask advice for. I can imagine that family finding this site and maybe if they read through many many posts would figure out it is me writing about them. Doesn't bother me too much. They should be embarrassed by the things they do.Comment

Aw, I'm sorry you feel like that. :confused: It makes me sad to think providers feel they have to be incognito when venting or sharing with others.
I tell everyone I know about this forum. My licensor is a member here because I told her about it.
I have DC parents that have come on here and posted too.
My general rule of thumb for ANY internet site I am on is never say anything you wouldn't say in real life so I have always abided by that.
I have ZERO issues with anyone knowing who I am I real life, where I live or what my real name is.
If I said it here, I'd say it in real life. I am who I am. In real life and on here.
I've made some really great friends in real life via this forum.....several whom I talk on the phone and text with regularly.Last edited by Blackcat31; 05-15-2015, 12:50 PM.Comment

But, BC, you wouldn't tell everyone about a parent's crazy things they're doing, or tell all the coworkers the ridiculous thing you observed the other teacher doing... In real life, you may say it, but not to everyone... would you? If a parent sees it on here, it's like you said it to everyone. We make the questionable behavior/ problems public and that wouldn't be cool in real life.
Example the 10 month old oreo and tylenol baby. If that mom saw that all these people were talking about it, she'd be pissed. Yeah, maybe she'd be embarrassed and yeah maybe she should be (just going off the comments on the post), but I'm pretty sure she'd be pissed. Now, if I was in that situation in my work, I sure as hell wouldn't tell every teacher and parent about it, asking them their opinions. So, yeah, I also "am who I am.. in real life and on here" but I wouldn't post this detailed stuff and I definitely wouldn't attach a name to it.
I'll stay incognito-even though I'm being real.Comment

I'm the same. Just talking about situations may pass some people off. I sometimes get paranoid that they will guess it's me!Comment

point taken.
I don't vent or tell others about the issues I have with parents.
NOT because I don't have them. I do, I just keep them between myself and the person I am having the issue with.
I have no issues about posting for advice or other perspectives but you are right, I wouldn't post a lot of what gets posted here.
I try to stick with the "If I don't want everyone to know, then don't tell everyone" line of thinking.
I am totally cool with people wanting to stay anonymous.
The advice, support and sharing remains the same whether someone is unregistered or using a cutsie avatar and username
