I guess it's GBCN

I think its about that time. I think a lot of the reason why I never got involved in bashing anyone is because it's hard to judge someone from five or six lines or even a couple paragraphs about a story. I feel like I am judged a lot more harshly than others but thats just my opinion.

The hospital has said that this was a scratch not a bite.

My dog used to be a therapy dog before I was pregnant . She is great with strangers. I think animals snap a lot more than you think. it seems that everyone I spoke to had a story about a family dog that bit a child at one time or another. most kept the dog.

You girls are very supportive at times just not to me.

I'm sorry you felt attacked. I read the posts, but I just feel like ladies were giving you their ideas of what they would do in that situation. At the end of the day it's your life and your family. Not any of ours. Like Cajin said take it with a grain of salt. Your story seemed pretty bad to end up in the ER and in need of a plastic surgeon consult, even if it was just a scratch. I'm very sorry it happen and hopefully won't happen again...

The way you describe the situation sounded very concerning. There were several people who were extremely empathetic and supportive of you. Many offered you useful and practical advice. I don't think anyone was bashing you. They were concerned for your children's safety.

I somehow missed the post is I don't know the story. I just wanted to say that I am sorry you feel you have to leave. I don't have a problem with you or anyone on here and hate when posts end in someone feeling so hurt. I am brain tired from all the board craziness and just want everyone o stay! I think it takes all of us and our differences to make J12 the awesome board it is!

I have absolutely no idea what's going on and echo her sentiments. I don't want you to leave. You've always been one of my faves and I hope you don't feel like I've ever been less than pleasant toward you. I hope if you do decide to leave that you'll keep in touch via Facebook.

I think your posts are read with a fine toothed comb if you know what I mean. I think - to a lot of the women here- you may have a "board persona" that you feel may be at odds with who you are IRL.

I don't presume to know who you are or how you feel. How could any of us? Your post's after hurricane Sandy were "vent heavy" and came off a little ungrateful. Again you may have unloaded some of your stress by venting on here first. It seems the majority of the ladies became leery eyed when you posted about not wanting to clean your MIL bathroom- even though she was gracious enough to let your family live with her.

Once some people questioned some of your statements regarding your feelings about your MIL did you realize or think that what you wrote wasn't a complete or adequate representation of how you truly feel? IDK? Is this correct?

Regarding today the other ladies were having trouble reconciling your statements about your dog's temperament and the unfortunate and dangerous bite Sydney got today. I hope Sydney heals quickly. She's in my T & P's.

i think it was her feeling towards sydney vs Ayden that sent to flag up to many. Myself included. Sorry.

Frick. Ignore me.

Well who wants to take over the AW/you don't know my lyfe posts now? Seriously GG, you usually only post the most AW threads and rarely ever reply to anyone's threads. Andplusalso, you only post what you WANT us to know, yet then get defensive when we reply to the information we are given. For example, you told us that the plastic surgeons are getting involved and the wound is infected.

Lets recap, your DAUGHTER was wounded on her face (sorry to say but girls looks are important to themselves) to the point where she needed a plastic surgery consult and a possible hospitalization. What else are we supposed to think? We only know what you tell us.

Andplusalso again, you're lucky the dog didn't get her eye and blind her or her neck and kill her. Sorry. Truth hurts. The fact that you're now blaming the victim, your daughter!, is horrible.

I won't miss you.

I obviously missed something.

Yeah, me too... I didn't see anything

"Sydney Vs. Ayden".

That was a good day to be absent. It was about preferring one child over the other. Wish I was absent.

I missed the post yesterday so I don't know the story. I just wanted to say that I am sorry you feel you have to leave. It is a crappy situation and I understand that it is emotionally draining on you. I hope that you make the right choice for your family. It is hard to really 'know' a persons life based on the tidbits of information we post on here. I hope that Sydney is OK and I am sending T&P your way.

Maybe I need to go back and reread the thread, but I didn't see anyone attack you. I saw a lot of people saying they didn't understand, but most went out of their way to tell you that they were NOT out to bash you and everyone voiced concern for Sydney. To me, that is support. These girls are concerned for your little one.
You've gotten a lot of support and love from this board. There have been times when we don't understand your choice of words, that's true. I still don't understand where you're coming from with this. Do you not see where your words could have been upsetting to some? Do you not see why some people wouldn't understand your choice to keep a dog that could have really hurt your daughter? You got lucky this time...next time might be worse.
I for one would like to see you stick around. Your kids are adorable and I've never had a problem with you. But if you choose to leave, I have to say this is a goofy reason for it.

There are so many "you go glen co co's" on here that I don't want to single out any one response.

megs52881 · August 2013

oh and I have been waiting to use this line forever and it is so fitting here with the woe is me attitude...

If everyone says you're dead, it's time to lie down.

SallySunrise · August 2013

I'm trying really, reeeeeeeeeeeally hard to be on your side here, because that's just what I do. I don't like anyone to feel attacked, bullied, left out, etc. I'm a "benefit of the doubt" kind of girl. But your dog bit your baby. Let me say that again. Your dog BIT YOUR BABY, and you took her to the HOSPITAL. And you're mad that your friends here were worried for your baby's safety??! Isn't that what friends DO?? I think the words you're looking for are, "You're right ladies. My view is biased because I love my dog, but I know you're right. Thank you for loving Sydney enough to give me a virtual smack in the face."

And from us: "You're welcome."
