Op here. The crazy thing is that the thread as it is now is after I reported a ton of comments and Jeff deleted them. People telling me to rehome my child, that I should have aborted him, that I’m a terrible person and a terrible mother.

I guess this subject has really hit a nerve.[/quote]

You aired something uncomfortable. Folks have opinions. The nerves are your own. [/quote]

:roll: Going on a one week vacation without a 2 year does not call for telling someone to abort or rehome a child.  "Folks" are a-holes.

-not OP[/quote]

This kid spends days with multiple Nannie’s, not the parents and parents now plan to leave the kid home.  That’s sad. I have a sn child. If anything I was more protective at that age as they could not talk and I’d never leave my kid home.  [/quote]

It is heartwarming to hear how this thread has provided an opportunity for you to reflect on what an incredible parent you are. Don't we all jist love finding someone we can put down so we can feel good about ourselves? Especially with the holidays coming up.[/quote]

You don’t leave one child home during the holidays.  If the holidays are about family you don’t exclude one member.  They can bring a nanny.  [/quote]

Well I mean obviously YOU don't do that. Clearly other people have done it.[b] That's why they are terrible parents and you are the best parent.[/b][/quote]

Great, now we're castigating people for being good parents.[/quote]

Who is castigating anybody?[/quote]

Don't be coy.  The castigation is bolded.  [/quote]

That's not castigating people for being good parents. That's me making fun of parents who tear down other parents to make themselves feel good about themselves. Sounds to me like you can dish it out, but you can't take it. You know it's actually possible to express differences of opinion without attacking a person's character? This happens all of the time outside of DCUM and other anonymous forums.[/quote]

Bull.  That's you shaming someone for not wanting to leave their kids behind, by weaponizing the desire to be a good parent and soaking it in sarcasm.  And then you spin off more attacks on me (dishing it out, etc.)  You must be feeling self defensive if you deliberately misinterpret peoples' horrified reaction to this as them trying to make themselves feel better.  [/quote]

Honey I won't even skip a trip to my in-laws (whom I cannot stand) because of anxiety that my DH will be too distracted with his mess of a family to properly care for DD. Believe me, I have no defensiveness over this, I just find the level of outrage on this thread over the top and kind of hilarious. Maybe because I kind of hate Christmas? FFS, a NT 2 yo doesn't even understand what Christmas is.[/quote]
