    IMO if PBS transferred the time spent on here winding people up to helping the kids who need it in Poland then life would be much more pleasant for everyone - especially the disabled polish kids.

    How 'bout it PBS? Are you prepared to do the right thing?

    I donate the rental profit from my UK flat to a Polish childrens charity, which I think is a nice way of 'stealing from the rich and giving to the poor'.

    I'm also responsible for supporting a different charity each month in my workplace, which raises quite a bit of money as we have very persuasive receptionists who encourage visitors to donate handsomely ;)
    I suggest then that you channel your energies into helping these kids in your own country rather than spending your time knocking every parent of an ADHD child.

    I don't knock every ADHD child. Just most of them ;)

    Just one point regarding your spelling, Edinburghlass has a capital.

    I personally don't care where you donate your money, those words are easy to say but not so easy to prove, not that I'm interested one way or another. However, I do care about the fact that you take every opportunity to "attack" users on MSE, give it a rest please, thank you.

    What was wrong with my spelling? You and me both spell Edinburgh the same way, as far as I can see. Punctuation is another thing - but that's not spelling, is it?

    Who am I attacking on MSE, exactly?

    well as the parent of a disabld child who sadly will live his life on benefits and will not be able to live independently and probably will be a "drain" on the tax payer for his life
    I felt pretty attacked by your attitude

    and BTW - my good friend Beata is NOT wealthy NOR out of touch with Polish rural life
    like MOST parents of chidlren with a disability, she has gone out and LOOKED for the help for her child and many others whom she supports in her support group
    just because your Country won't help families with disabled children, please don't begrudge our families the help over here - after all they ARE saving the government a HUGE amount of money by not having to run and staff the sorts of facilities you have in Poland for these poor children
