Does anyone really read that whole thing?  I read the first paragraph and quit.

too....long.....

 Really, if you have to write that much....perhaphs you are defending something that you shouldn't. No, I did not see the original post in question but this persons over-response reminds me of the people who will defend something forever even when they know that it is not quite right. I worked with a girl who would NOT let petty grievances die and would go on...and on...and on....just to continue the drama as long as possible.

I could not even follow what she was trying to say after the first paragraph.  Some things are better said in fewer words!

I read most of it and I'll say the same thing now that I did then...just because you're calm and soothing, does not mean it's not abuse.

Wow! That was long..I still dont think that you should "flick" you child for not saying "hi momma"  Come on..really..That is just stupid..if she really thinks you should "pick your battles" the what in the world did she make such a big deal out of it for?? Really how many times have you woken up and just not in the mood to talk to people..He is 2 yrs old..And Good Lord above, sometimes they just dont want to talk..Leave the poor boy along..he will say hi when he wants to..GRRRRRRR

I read it. I think that the majority of bumpies are amazing, helpful, kind, intelligent women. But I am saddened and dissapointed by some of the cattiness and cruelty that I see. I wonder what kind of mothers some of these women will make when they treat some people like they do, take things out of context and jump to conclusions.

Dude.  She was HITTING her 2-year-old for 30 minutes straight because he refused to say "Hi, Mommy."

You cannot justify that shiit.  I think it would be more wrong not to speak out about it.

She put it on a public blog, welcoming comments.  It's part of the "risk" your run as a blogger.

Wow. Too long for me to both reading. I think this IRL of the other lady might need her own blog to get her message out.

Exactly what Blair said. 

I hardly think anything was taken out of context anyway, as I read the blog entry and it was disgusting.

I have to agree with Blair on this one.  Trufrnd and anyone else can try to explain and justify all they want, but imo that lady was just plain wrong.
