Hi all,
Just a friendly reminder to everyone that this is a support board. I want to list the Rules of Play here one more time (in addition to cl-phocid's reminder) just so no one misses it:
- Banish "You shoulds." We are here to acknowledge our personal truths, not to tell each other what to do.
- Banish "How could you's." This group is a safe place to share a trying aspect of our lives. We are not here to judge each other or to put anyone else on the defensive.
- Bring your humility. A humble attitude is important. No one is better than anyone else.
- Do not spam. Solicitations are forbidden by iVillage's Terms of Service, and that rule will be strictly enforced here. So don't even think about it.
- Foster a supportive environment: Remember, we're here not just for ourselves but for others as well. Listen openly and carefully to each other and share only what you are comfortable with, when you are ready.
A few other things to consider . . .
Before posting: I ask each of you to read

Hi Whiz - these are good questions.
All my best,
Danni
Most everyone here is wonderfully supportive and encouraging. That's why this board is unique and caring
I think so too--but wanted to add that sometimes what may come across as negative is really meant to be said w/ good intentions. I would never go as far as name calling, etc. or judging anyone for their mistakes, I've made my fair share. Having said that, coming from a learning experience I think that constructive criticism has its place--when used tactfully. I would certainly want someone to tell me to avoid X,Y,and Z like the plague if they already knew better than I did. But wouldn't want them telling me how stupid I was for considering it. KWIM? ;)
That is perfectly acceptable.
