[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's weird that I still think about the poster who told me my unhooked kid had zero chance to get into Williams. And applying ED was the dumbest thing she'd ever heard of.  With a sign off like, hope your kid likes their safety because that's where they'll end up because you gave your kid terrible advice.

it was so mean and personal. And hey, I didn't give my kid any advice. Anyway, they got into Williams ED. [/quote]
Feelings hurt?[/quote]

OP correct. I recognized it was just a not nice person, but it was a vulnerable moment and I thought, well, that wasn't what I needed to read right now. Felt unnecessary and mean and I guess my feelings were hurt and it was harder than expected to brush off. These are our kids, afterall. And, as I said, I think it's weird that I still think about that one poster when I look at this forum. I have one more kid to get through the process and I wish there was a place to post anonymously about questions and not get jumped on. Maybe there is, but I haven't found it. [/quote]

Not exactly the same, but for my first post here around a situation with preK, I got absolutely awful advice and a few really rude responses.  The advice contradicted some IRL guidance I got, which I thankfully followed.  Everything worked out fine.  The real people I spoke to were right, DCUM was wrong.

I was really naive about DCUM back then, and stupidly thought I’d get some actual help and insight. You can find good info here, but it’s often like finding diamonds in a pile of crap.  I wouldn’t make any real-life moves based solely on what people here say, at all.  [/quote]
