dear twisty,
I would firstly like to ask what you mean by i single out my daughter and treat her differently to her brother and other children, could you please explain where in any of my comments have i said or implied otherwise. My children are treated exactly the same as siblings should be, nor do i treat any other children differently to how i would my own and i certainly do NOT think or teach my children to think that they are better than anybody else. We live in a run down council estate, with not a penny to our name therefore we are not a family that look down on others we are usually the ones that are being looked down at. All comments and opinions i have made to you have been based on the facts contained within your posts, i have not been presumptious in making false allegations regarding to the up bringing of your children so i would appreachiate it if you offered me the same courtesy.
I understand that we all have our down days and i accept that your original post was one of those days, what i dont accept is that you have made a post for all to see and can quite easily take on board people saying poor you and sympathising with you but you cannot handle someone objecting with what you have to say, someone who is living what your living, someone who knows what your going through. Im sorry but its my turn to be frank, i understand everyone deals with things differently but you need to get a grip and come to terms with the fact yes your daughter IS A DIABETIC and yes life will go on. If you cant come to terms with it then how the hell is your daughter going to and thats one of the reasons why when i read your post i had to comment on it, i havent commented on any posts before because i usually just read other peoples views and tips on living with diabetes and to know how others are feeling about it all but when i read yours i thought i had to comment. Im an opinionated person as you can probably tell and i found your post insulting to people out there who have seriously ill children who for example are having to watch their child have chemo and not knowing whether they are going to live or die but yet have to stay positive and stay strong for their childs sake, another example they have a child that has a severely disabling brain disorder and will never be able to talk or walk and needs 24 hr round the clock care day in day out, those are the people who i sympathise with not people who go on like their child has been given a death sentence, having an attitude of 'why my daughter' and poor me.
Our daughter may have only been diagnosed recently but i am quite sure that her positive and care free attitude will remain because us as her parents will make sure that we encourage her to stay positive and we will always maintain a positive attitude towards her diabetes and in doing so she will also.
I dont like your defensive attitude towards me and i do not like how me commenting on your post has caused all this fuss,to be quite honest im a nice person who believe it or not usually avoids confrontation regardless of how opinionated i am. I think its terrible that what should have been a friendly discussion and exchange of opinions regarding our children has turned out to be a childish, immature slanging match. Up until now i had been respectful and polite towards you but you just had to take it to another level and therefore i have too. Im not going to continue this any longer, i am never going on another chat forum concerning a subject i feel strongly about ever again including this one you have put me right off.
I wish you and your family well and i genuinely hope that you everything works out for you all,
this will be the last you here from me,
kind regards
Emma
