    When I find a poster who is so hostile in all posts, it exercises my curiousity to find out what makes them tick ....so I check on previous posts.    I found your posts, and found these posts which seem to have a parallel to Ss posts.   As you say, this is a public foru, and posts are available for all and sundry to see.    I just find it a shame that you cannot see how easily you could have been in the same position.   You say, and I agree, that you do not feel you have to explain why - yet you expect Ss to do so.

    That is such a silly statement, how could I easily be in the same position? Do you mean position then or position now?
    Why do you think that our posts are parallel?
    I did not want to go into reasons why son has paid me back and why SS's son has not, nor would I ask her.

    I actually have not asked you anything or gone through your previous posts and for some reason you asked me about a post I made 8 years ago.
    Negative and aggressive? Just because I question who is caring for her children when SS is sewing masks and scrubs all day. The children should be her priority not a set of scrubs or a mask.
    I am sure I am not the only one who questions this and I don't think you have the answers as you are not SS.

    I think the problem is that your posts come across as being very hostile & negative.
    I believe if you have nothing nice to say then say nothing or as little as possible.

  • So on an open forum you can't say anything if you disagree or have a negative view.? You can though be negative and snide towards anyone that questions SS. Why bring up a post from eight years ago and then expect me to  explain why my son paid me back and SS's has not.
    If you just want to chat with everybody agreeing why not have a blog, an open forum means others are allowed to express their views, negative or not.

    Good post. The son does appear to come across as a bit of a chancer. Me and our Pammy never got where we are by being chancers, oh no, we took responsibility and worked hard! It sounds like the son needs to take note.

    Don't worry.
    unless they are walking in my. Shoes they are not really able to comprehend that some people's lives are complicated.
     I just happen to be one of those whose life is not the norm.

     When Dgs2 was sleeping I bagged up the masks, and messaged the lucky customers whose orders I could fill, and I am getting a satisfactory trickle of BACS or Paypal messages, and collections are being arranged for those not out for the post office.
     I have caught up with all the washing. 
    It's been a gentle day.

    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
