A lot of the elementary school kids threads are mean girlish. A lot of "are you dumb / stick to the schedule stupid / you're a terrible mom if your kids stay up past 6:30pm"
A lot of the relationship forum is very big on "well didn't you know that before you married them dummy" which is the most unhelpful comment EVER.
omg I remember- there used to be an anti-redshirting poster who was completely unhinged.
She still pops up every once in awhile and still refuses to understand that the school cutoff in the entire US apart from New York and the NYC suburbs is anywhere between 7/31-9/30. And when someone mentions holding back their July-September birthday kid she shows up like clockwork to say “that kid is in the middle of their class why would you do that.”

My son is an August 1 bday. He turned 18 TWO MONTHS after HS graduation, but there were redshirted kids in his class that had turned 19 in May.
So there were classmates that were two years older. It is gross, especially with boys.
