[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The tacky thing to me is using the word DEVASTATED. People, get a grip on your emotions and teach your kids to be resilient.[/quote] kids are allowed to be devastated when this is one more thing on top of a whole lot of shitty things. A child can feel crushed and also move past it and be resilient. I can’t believe a child being upset about a missed birthday when they’re already missing school and friends and family and likely sports or hobbies is being judged as not tough enough. [/quote]

Devastated to me implies that they are in mourning, and the unhappiness is taking over their lives. Maybe “disappointed” is the word you’re looking for? Again, moderate your emotions.[/quote]

So based on what seem to be the implications of a single word possibly chosen by a mom you've never met about a kid you've never met whose age and circumstances you know nothing about (all reported second hand), you've decided to go off on someone who isn't even here? Sounds like you're the expert on emotional health, no question.[/quote]
