I'm posting here so as to not contribute to keeping the "major emergency" thread afloat, that thread deserves a rest and to fade into obscurity now, haha.
I think you made some excellent points in your response to me. I really appreciate the concise way you made your statements, as it was easy for me to see where you were coming from. My initial reaction was "gosh, this person would make a far better parent than I!" Haha - I acknowledge my own mistakes in that sometimes I am a bit too bitter and sardonic when faced with something I disapprove of, and your more compassionate approach is something I should remember and refer to in future situations.
