Does that answer your questions on what dad has to say about this? Am I going to get bashed some more?
Since you quoted me I will respond, I don't believe I ever bashed you, family issues usually run very deep and you just skimmed the top of the water.
Dad's input is important because she lives in his house, I find it strange the court would allow her to move in with all the other issues related to him.
On the most meaningless part of all this, the FLUTE, you gave it to her, it was hers to sit in a closet forever, not yours to sell.
One disturbing thing I have noticed would be how great all the other parents on CD must be! How about you present advice oppose to the bashfest. Greatest asset of being behind a computer is well; being behind the computer! You can be as great,mean,awesome,and ugly as you would like to be.
Most of you would find it unacceptable if your child is bullied yet many replies have been borderline Bully-ish!

You can also be as blunt as you need to be, when somebody needs to hear something they'd rather not, and which friends and family who have a vested interest in keeping the peace won't tell them.
We're all adults here. If you can't take the criticism, then don't post the question. Sometimes you need to listen to what people are saying, not just take offense or get defensive. There's often a lot of truth in the replies that aren't sugar coating it for you.
I realize it's tough, but it's often not helpful to just sympathize, when people's relationships are in real jeopardy.
Sometimes, "there there, dear dear" is the last thing that will help someone out of an awkward situation.

I'm seeing that far too often, people are posting for validation, not advice. The minute someone disagrees with what they're doing, or suggests a different way of handling something, they get defensive. I don't believe anyone has to be rude or nasty, but sometimes the truth does hurt. And probably the more true it is, the more it hurts.

I agree with you and Finster, as well.
I generally love validation, but it serves a different function than problem solving. I wish people would clarify in their OP which one they are looking for. Methinks it would head off a lot of misunderstanding.
when somebody starts bashing it's time to hit the report button. too many of these people don't know the difference between constructive help and bashing.

The funny part is that no one truly knows how good of parent they are until their child, leaves the house, rears their own, marriatal success, financial success, etc, etc....too many barometers to list.

There is a lot of similarity I have noticed over the years among different kinds of posts. One really comon one is how do I get my kids to do exactly what I want exactly the way I want them to. These folk generally don't like the answer. You don't. Take a look in the mirror and figure out why you think you should.
