About posting to the group:
http://sandradodd.com/lists/alwayslearningPOSTS
This group has been operating since late 2001, and I want to keep it solid and good. That requires, readable posts, carefully composed.
I edited two to remove the long (very long) original post.
I edited one because the three-paragraph quote wasn’t sufficiently marked as different from the new comments.
“Pointy brackets,” the less-than/greater-than marks, sometimes don’t go through, as some mail reader somewhere will think they’re html code, so use something like ***that*** or -=-this-=- because it will stick.
Put spaces between paragraphs, please.
Don’t “be supportive.” Don’t tell people they’re great moms or that they’re doing the best they can. You don’t know that, and I don’t want to provide a forum for people to soothe those who should be doing better.
How bad can that be? Pretty bad.
Only read 2/3 of this page if you’re in a sensitive mood—and note all those bad examples (which seemed sweet and supportive).
