[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand the harsh response of many posters. I lost both of my parents when my kids were small. First my dad when DC1 was a few months old, and then my mom when DC2 was just 1 and DC1 still a toddler. Even in my deepest grief I recognized that my kids' needs come first, and that we needed to plan around things with their best interest in mind. So if that means that my spouse would stay behind with them while I had to fly solo to my parent's funeral, so be it. It's not personal; it just comes with the territory when you have small kids.

You likely didn't love your parents.  [/quote]

Wow. Because I could still function and think for my toddler and baby's needs that means I didn't love my parents?

You don't know anything about how I love, but I do know you have a dark, despicable soul.[/quote]

I’m glad the PP came back bc I was horrified by this comment.  You also don’t know anyone’s situation.  If a parent died after a degenerative illness you say goodbye slowly, painfully, day by day, and sometimes at the end a feeling of relief comes that their suffering is over.  How dare you judge this poster or anyone else in this way.[/quote]

While I don’t agree with the nastiness of the poster who also horrified you, I think some readers may have read into the PP you are defending as being judgmental -as in if you take time to put a grieving spouse’s needs first, you are neglecting your children. She didn’t come to post without bite, and she was bitten in return tenfold. [/quote]

This is quite a leap. There were numerous pp who jumped on the OP accusing her of not supporting her grieving spouse. PP is pointing out a logical perspective.

Anyway, this is one of the nastiest threads I've read on here in a while.[/quote]
