[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, I guess you've also had the same experience on DCUM as I have: if you want to get ugly, vitriolic comments on your parenting, just ask for advice about a kid with behavioral health challenges on one of the general boards.  I will never forget the poster who told me that public school system had no obligation to teach my "bad" kid.  The Kids With Special Needs board is a welcome exception that.

I remind myself that these are folks who are lucky enough not to have a high degree of difficulty kid, and that they have. no. clue.

Luck has nothing to do with that, it is a lot of hard work and a lot of discipline from the birth of the child. A lot of self control.  I breastfed my kids exclusively for almost two years each, left a great job every time to stay for a year at home with each of the child and every time had to start all over with my career.  lot of time spent with kids on weekends. homemad meals every day despite that I work sometimes 50-60 hours a week. Don't tell me about luck. [/quote]

I did All those same things, except stayed home for longer and guess what? I have two kids with mental health issues. They are great kids but are subject to their brain chemistry that causes OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia and resulting behavior issues, because when you are a kid and you have all that going on, you feel very out of control. I also have kids who don't have these problems. Your kids (and mine) have obviously benefitted from good parenting but don't kid yourself into thinking that those of us who struggle somehow didn't check all the boxes. Also, if your kids haven't been through adolescence yet, I wouldn't count out mental health issues arising, because that is often when they present.[/quote]
