I hope nobody else would see her and put judgement on her like you
did with that girl. Sad...


I hope too, that my children won't be judged...but I just wanted to step in
and suggest that the original author I *think* was doing a combination of
venting and complaining, (and trying to give a verbal description of the child
in the situation) which I hope is ok to do sometimes here. I want to always be
respectful, and not ever step on anyone's toes or sensitivities by the
language I use, but I'm sure I will at some point. I know I often use different
terminology when I'm conversing with friends and peers - different from what I
might choose during a conversation with any of my kids. I don't want to get so
bogged down in my terminology here that I say nothing though. I just wanted
to comment that I see both ways of relating stories and situations. *My* gut
feeling wasn't that there was judgment, but that it was used to describe.
Perhaps too, this will help teach me to use different ways of describing people
too...I just know I'm so imperfect and I'm SURE I will say something,
sometimes, somewhere, that will be misheard or misread. And while I am supporting
the original author, I also am posting this so that I can use this to think
more about how *I* phrase things too...

Always learning...
Karen
