[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a reader of DCUM since looking for a pre-school and there is truth in all the posts on this thread.  There are unprovoked attacks on fitness to be a parent, there are racist and elitist posts, there are trolls and sh*t stirrers, there are over the top helicopter parents and there are some where you don’t really know enough of the story to judge and honestly their decisions aren’t hurting or impacting anyone. I really believe that can be almost anyone on any given day. There usually are enough people with helpful advice and kindness that the few threads I’ve started have been useful the the end.

If this was posted specifically because of the disappointed parent, I will say this.  [b]Assuming it wasn’t a troll, reality is that in any situation there are people doing better, people in the same boat and people doing worse and you have to read the room and know people responding can have the perspective from any of those situations.  Especially with something as personal and emotional as colleges - it can feel like it’s the equivalent of saying someone’s baby is ugly if in the course of talking about your child you put down what might be a dream school or where someone else kid attends or you inadvertently or on purpose take shots at their worthiness to get into the school your kid was deferred/rejected from.[/b]  If you really want to vent, no holds barred, and don’t want to worry about a negative reaction  I would say, tell your priest,  your dog, or journal about it.[/quote]

This, exactly.
