What about eating issues?

We have debated sleeping issues to death once again....so what about another one of the issues of childhood....eating and/or not eating?


My kids eat just about anything and have a pretty well rounded diet.

Geez. Because it is her friggin' kid! There has been a lot of supposing and conjecture about a kid that no one else has even met ... and a lot of disbelief about the views of the mother that has raised that kid.


Geez.

Oh, calm yourself. She didn't say it was so. You give no evidence whatsoever of being capable of considering the possibility that what's enough time for you to want with your children might not correlate exactly to what's enough time for your children to want with you. Hollie does.

The planned comment wasn't a dig at you - it was a comment about actively wanting my own and showing that my boys were not some sort of afterthought by a couple that would have much preferred to remain childless.


I am going on vacation this summer with my boys and DH, and it does involve traveling with them.


I do stay up late on special occasions - no "can't" about it.

Really, who said anything about medicating our kids, taking meds ourselves, or running away from it all?

Nope, not disbelief. Raising a possibility to a mother who is putting 100% of the blame on her kid and can't even consider that any relationship is a two-way street.

It's that hyperbole for the sake of argument thing again, I guess.

If you have a whiny or tempermental child, why automatically assume it is due to not enough time with the mother? Why assume it is something that has to be fixed at all? Felicia hasn't asked anyone to diagnmose or "fix" her child, she simply has been very honest about the frustrations of dealing with a very needy child. That so many people have decided it is because she is being a bad parent or not spending enough time with him--when you guys don't know the first thing about how they interact or what the child may need-is not just rude, it's disgusting.

Clearly, you don't have much of a positive natuire to say about Felicia. It oozes out of most threads. But to decided that her child is needy becasue she isn't doing a good job mothering--and based on nothing at beyond that fact that she is honest enough to admit that her child is difficult?

So, are all of us with difficult children bad mothers? Or is it just Felicia?

Are you saying that your life was incomplete and empty before you had ds, and now the true meaning of life has been shown to you, and everything is just as it should be?
