  1. I think you should just back off.
  2. Don't assume because someone doesn't agree with you that they don't have their facts straight. I have read the thread. But even if I hadn't read the thread I wouldn't have been any less informed. I commented because the case had been updated and she went home. I believe she went to her proper home, you don't. Go figure, two people have differing opinions. My main point is that this isn't a death sentence for this child. She's lucky to have so many people who love and adore her.
  3. When you sign away your rights to your child you better be darn sure you mean it. And when you change your mind later don't expect sympathy. My point is that this doesn't have to destroy her and I believe she can do well.
  4. And as to the idea about the biological father waking away. He already did that once.
  5. Yes I believe she has formed attachments to her biological father. And that will help her as she hopefully won't be afflicted with RAD which can destroy a child and their family.
  6. They definitely didn't steal her. He signed away his rights.
  7. I totally disagree. This couple obviously loves and adores her. They raised her for the first two years of her life. What kind of parents would walk away from their daughter because of someone elses opinion? I think it's high time that people let this couple be the parents they have fought desperately to be. I would have done the same thing they did. And for those suggesting that she's doomed to be resentful are just being hateful. If they did their job well in those first 2 years then they hopefully laid a good foundation for her to form attachments. And if she is forming attachments she will be ok.
  8. I'm so jealous! That's my dream. Have fun on your adventure!
  9. It depends on what you mean by "innocent." Proponents of the doctrine of original sin would hold that there is no such thing as an innocent child. Because of the fall, all people are born spiritually dead in trespasses and sin. Humankind *deserves* nothing but the judgment and wrath of God, and it is only by God's grace and mercy that any are saved. Even then, salvation eternally does not mitigate the effects of sin temporally.......Quoted I don't know how to partially quote from my phone. Sorry about that. This explanation made me sick to my stomach. We deserve to be punished just for being born. That's heavy.
  10. My dh had a tummy tuck about 4 years ago. He lost a lot of weight from his college years and the skin was too much for his self esteem. It was SCARY! This is a serious surgery and you will require help just to do little things for about a week. Once he recovered he said it was worth it. I would love a boob job but I'll never do it. The risk of putting something foreign in your body is too much for me. But I'll do other things as I age and have the money for.
  11. Not a fail! You did what you said you would do. You can't control his choices. You can only control your own. I believe you made a great decision by following through. Way to go momma!
  12. Thank you for sharing. I never really knew these types of brainwashing existed. And all these threads have got me wondering something. This should probably be a new thread but here goes. Are there any religions or cults where the control is flipped around on the men? And I don't mean cultures where woman typically have more control. I mean a religion or cult whose leader or leaders claim supernatural knowledge that gives women the authority to control men? It just seems like one of the reoccurring themes in these groups is that women will receive their salvation by giving their husbands control of their lives.
  13. Wow. That made me tear up. Thank yo for sharing that. I have a lot to think about after being a part of this thread.
  14. You can't fix a problem unless you address the cause. Victims aren't the cause and therefore have NO business being addressed in this manner.
  15. The difference between this situation you describe and Audrie's situation is that no one would ever say to you or your relatives that "this crime was your fault" and "those criminals were just pulling a prank". Those quotes aren't meant to quote exactly what was said in this thread or article but more to describe the ideas expressed in this thread and that article.
  16. I would spend as much money on I could as this brand if it meant keeping my daughter "younger"for longer. There are so many things I love about the brand. The girls are all heroes in their own ways. They encourage virtues that are missing from modern day interests, i.e. Disney, Barbie and so and so. They also carry sizes for older girls. My dd is 7 but she's outgrown the other brands who have matching ensembles. The magazine has no ads and encourage lovely qualities. There are so many things I love about the brand. I used to be a skeptic. I thought it was a "trap"for parents to spend an arm and a leg. But then a lovely grandmother told me how much she loved the brand for her daughter. And that she kept the dolls a heirlooms. I looked into it and we're hooked. And I'll happily pay for it.

    It's hard to tell a stylist no. I had really long hair and went to a salon to get my hair dyed back to my original color. After 10 hours split into 2 days and 300 smackos I left the salon looking like an idiot. I never go to the salon. I always use a box, but this one time I wanted to treat myself and it ended in me cutting off all my hair and getting a box to fix the 300 dollar mistake. So I feel you.
  18. My cat was very close to getting a new home a couple of years ago. We put bowls of his food on all the places he went. We put a box upstairs and down. And we put him in "his" room at night. I'm not a patient person when it comes to animal urine so I feel your pain. I hope your kitty figures it out.
  19. I would take "basketball tall" for a girl as simply pointing out she's tall. "Basketball tall" implies she's tall enough to get a ball in a basket. "Model tall" implies she's a girl who's tall who fits the height of women who are objectified by society. I don't like it. She's 7. I just don't like it that already I'm seeing how society treats my dd different than my ds. But never did I think the woman was implying she should be barefoot and pregnant like a pp suggested.
  20. That is so true! Our society is unhealthy. That's a great way to say it. For some practical ways that we can keep our kids safe and to change society...I think we should start young and talk about sexual matters. Kids will eventually have sex. As parents some of us hope they are married or at least in committed relationships, but sometimes that doesn't happen. It shouldn't be something we hide from our children. I started by telling my kids as toddlers the appropriate name for their genitals. I also don't shame them when they use those names in public our elsewhere. I do have to tell my son not to grab himself all the time. I tell him that if he needs to itch or readjust to to it in his room or in the bathroom. Just like when he's in the bathtub. If he's touching his penis I tell him that's something he should only do in private. Not because he shouldn't do it but because he shouldn't do that in public. Btw he's 4. I've also told them about their genitals being theirs only. It's not uncommon for us to have conversations about who owns their body. They know they own their bodies and that no one is allowed to touch their genitals or to touch them in any area that makes them uncomfortable. As they get older our conversations will be age appropriate and related to the culture we live in. All parents need to have these conversations with their children.
  21. Parental guidance and a change in how society views this issue. But clearly that isn't going to happen anytime soon because some of the people in Audrie's community claimed that it was a"prank". This is tough and I'm equally scared for my dd and ds's future.
