If your children haven't done as well as you thought they should have -- how would you change things

[Anonymous]

Our family planning began when my child was in the womb

1. Good nutrition and sleep
2. Seeing the Obs/Gyn for regular check-ups
3. Preparing the external infrastructure for the new arrival (getting the child's room and outside environment ready for the arrival--e.g., warm clothes and cot)


What did you mean by attributing my remarks to in the womb manipulations?

[Anonymous]

To the poster that misquotes others and has not written a proper sentence for the last 6 months:

What is your level of education?

Are you a single mother?

If you work, are you a menial laborer?

If you want to talk we can do so off-line. I'll point your children in the direction of Ivy. I have very secure and longterm relations with 2 top Ivies.

You are boring and unoriginal. I'm not interested in spending any more time on your childish posts.

(Good one! Parroting my charge against you of bad grammar and trying to turn it against me without offering any proof or citing any of my posts! Wow, I'm so impressed!)

I can't believe I'm dignifying your idiocy with an answer. But as my final post: I have an advanced degree from an Ivy and am happily married, with kids who got into elite area privates, and a professional job that I'm willing to bet pays way, way, way more than yours.

Off to be with my kids now...

You used the word "direction" incorrectly. It's much closer to "manipulation" than to "good nutrition" and painting the nursery ("external infrastructure" is also something different from how you use it). From dictionary.com:

2. the line along which anything lies, faces, moves, etc., with reference to the point or region toward which it is directed: The storm moved in a northerly direction.
3. the point or region itself: The direction is north.
4. a position on a line extending from a specific point toward a point of the compass or toward the nadir or the zenith.
5. a line of thought or action or a tendency or inclination: the direction of contemporary thought.
6. Usually, directions. instruction or guidance for making, using, etc.: directions for baking a cake.

14. Music. a symbol or phrase that indicates in a score the proper tempo, style of performance, mood, etc.
15. a purpose or orientation toward a goal that serves to guide or motivate; focus: He doesn't seem to have any direction in life.

Idiot.

I am sorry for your disappointment with your marriage and children. I know a few excellent WPPSI testers and shrinks in the area if you need one.

You are an appallingly smug cow.

Idiot.

DCUM is good for something as you spend most of your time running to the dictionary. It's never too late to get an educaion even if you graduated from an Ivy graduate school (Psst: you need to get your story straight. You seem to have forgotten what you've already posted. I understand. Go ahead and embellish if it makes you feel better. A better option than some we all know about!)

Moo. I wonder who looks more like a cow?

Is this to be with the kid that got into Yale on an athletic scholarship or the Ivy bound middle schooler headed to Penn under your esteemed legacy?

Did you red shirt your kids? Or simply sent them on to school with chastity belts lest they become victims of statutory rape from the red shirt boys and girls?

So now she's on a flurry of ad hominem attacks? As she sock-puppets herself?

Better explain that: an ad hominem attack means attacking the person, not the argument. Example: I don't like health reform because Obama is skinny. Or: posters who disagree with me must be communists with dumb kids. It's the last refuge in a debate where you've run out of arguments to defend your original position -- which OP clearly has done.

No, there is more than one of us who thinks you're psychotic and scary. Apparently several of us have posted their backgrounds.

Something just clicked! I was poking around other threads and I realized that you're the idiot who talks about other posters' "auditory and visual" hallucinations! On a red-shirting thread that really doesn't interest me but I was bored and housebound in this snow. A few months ago you tried this phrase and used the word "auditory" incorrectly, and I corrected you.

Please, tell us how old you are. You really are too immature to be mothering kids.
