Good point, lisa. I don`t know why they would be interested in the parenting forum either.
I hold a green card and am not eligible to vote. Yet I'm still interested in what people have to say in the Politics forum.
Why, do you ask? Well, because it pertains to my life here in the US. Just as people's parenting pertains to life here on the earth, for parents and non parents alike.
I am not sure that I would cancel her health insurance b//c if something happens and she doesn't have any insurance you could get in a big financial mess.
Yes, it does give more insight. However, judging from the remarkably HUGE quantity of posts written by parents who clearly have absolutely no idea what they're doing (and admit to such), being given insight, and actually possessing that insight, are entirely different things.
The only "criteria" anyone has measured any of my posts by, is whether or not I have any children of my own. No one has asked me if I've raised someone else's children, or assisted in the raising of anyone else's children. No one has asked me if I have owned or operated or even worked in day-care, spending hours upon hours with infants and toddlers. No one has asked me if I have spent any time bringing up teenagers of any of my siblings who might or might not have been in good enough health to bring them up themselves.
Nor have I offered any information because frankly, it's no one's business. I'm not here looking for a job, I don't owe anyone any explanations. I just find it damned (the word meaning "one who presumes" which for some reason gets gagged by the profanity filter) of people who ask opinions on a public forum, to pretend that anyone's opinion here is any more or less valid than anyone else's.
Then your opinion on the subject is essentially valueless isn't it?
That isn't true cheerybaby. The reform states that children *are allowed* to be on their parents' insurance up to age 26. It does not say that parents are required to have them on it. It also states that the insurance company can't deny children with pre-existing conditions. It doesn't say the parents -must- pay for it, or provide it, nor does it say that parents are not allowed to cancel.
