OPs of postings- can you PLEASE write back and acknowledge responses!???

[Anonymous]

I am personally tired of OP's posting something and then not getting back- obviously, not everyone is like this- but if you seek advice and get responses- then please reply!

Like the current thread of why hire a nanny to raise your kids- if you don't respond to the many postings- it's obvious you're a **** (not sure that the internet terminology is for someone who does this) but- everyone else, please don't fuel the fire..

i am the op of the thread about nannies spending more time with your kids and there is no response necessary from me except maybe a "thank you" to those that replied. i didn't post the thread to debate with working moms. i posted to gather info from them and insight that i could only gain from an anonymous board. i could and would never ask a working mom that question. i don't want to debate their answers. i was just curious as was my expecting friend as to how they justified it. were you looking for a particular response from me or something? did you want me to respond with hostile replies?

OP of nanny question-what did you think you'd get? it's more honest to go back and say thanks etc and say why you asked what you did - rather than just start a war and leave.. coward

Look I'm just curious if you teach your children to use their words in a positive manner. You just called someone coward. What would your child say, and this is not just to you, but the venom that comes out with parents is mind boggling. If your child could read these posts, would you be proud of the example your setting. Just curious.

I'm so glad you're non judgmental- great aspect to teach your kids as well. If you follow a thread that so much ignites a war and the OP is MIA then you may understand that most people think the OP is a coward or some other internet acronym.. Geez- this is a mom and dad forum- what example? have you read the posts here? If you think everyone who writes something and you can read them from a few postings (like 2 here) then you're missing the mark.

The two of you need to go to your rooms. Right now. No backtalk and no dessert for either of you.

I bet that your probably the one that looks for all the negative posts to jump in on. My guess would be that you just hang out during the day waiting to put someone down, sort of like you thrive on negativity. Look, I'm just asking weather you teach your kids to use their words with their peers in a friendly manner. You have not answered the question. You definately don't seem like the kind of person that should be teaching that message in my opinion.

A couple of months ago, I posted in earnest seeking advice about whether it was normal that my two-year old had only eleven teeth. The one response I got (and there were over 200 views of my post) went something like this: "Well, if it isn't normal, there's nothing you can do about it."

Should I really have to acknowledge snarky, abusive and downright mean posters on what is supposed to be a message board for moms and dads to post about their kids -- not a form of public entertainment for you?

NP here. Well then how about starting there, OP?

There was one recent thread where the mom frantically wrote in for advice about her son. Several people responded and everyone was waiting to hear if the little guy was okay. It became a little more troubling when she never returned to the thread to post an update. People were really concerned. I don't know if she has never returned to DCUM, if something really happened to her child, or if she just never returned to that thread. It would have been nice to know something.

I'm sorry, but you have way too much time on you hands if you're UPSET that someone didn't respond to a post. I agree w/the 2nd poster, "Get a life", geez.....
