I'm Proud - to be a member of this board

redchief wrote: I just wanted to say, stemming from the "rude child" and "Happy Holidays, etc." discussions, that despite a great diversity in the thoughts of the members of this board, most everyone is trying very hard to stay on topic and not trounce the personal feelings of others. I know I'm not a mod or anything, but I felt compelled to publicly acknowledge the restraint and sense of fair play being exhibited by most of my fellow members. It proves that we can indeed disagree, and if necessary, agree to disagree, without taking personal potshots at others.

I have always felt this way. I know that others here do not necessarily share my beliefs and philosophies. Perhaps it is the fact that this board isn't simply a political or religeous sounding board, but I like to think that it's because genuinely good people have gathered here.

PhiMuMommy replied: agreed .. i have been on other boards that love to tear eachother down and this board is so not like that!

it makes it more comfortable no matter what you have to say!

MommyToAshley replied: Ed, I couldn't have said things any better!

I love our family here. Sometimes it is hard to look at things from another perspective, but it can be such an eye opener. I have grown as a parent and a person as a result of being part of this group.

redchief replied:
Me too!!! And that's saying something, because Lisa will tell you that there aren't many people as self-assured as I am that I'm right. I have learned from most everyone and I've especially learned that my way isn't the only way that can work!

I AM VERY grateful to have found this message board. It has been great and made me understand a lot about this pregnancy. When to worry and when not to worry. We have all shared laughs and tears with one another. This is truly a family.
