Hope you get to feeling better. Hope you have fun at the swap - would love to be able to attend. I've got a ton of jelly from last year and really need to find some new things to do with it. All the kids are sick of PB&Js. Don't think we will be making more this year since we still have so much

Stay strong. Don't give in to Scottie! They seem to be able to find our weak spot.:/

And so the war is on...

why can't people just leave children alone? I don't understand it - and probably never will. Why can't you just accept them for who they want to be and quit trying to change them into what you think they should be??? My nephew prefers to play with Barbies and little pet shops and, you know what?? that what I buy him. I don't care what other say (even family members). I think it is wonderful that K has such loving parents and friends who support her. Kudos to you for trying to help K be whatever K wants to be.

X 2 what Vicki posted!!!! I've said it before, and will say it again...mess with me and there will be trouble...mess with my children and that means war!!!!

Hang in there Em...this has to be so hard when it really shouldn't be hard at all...people like to "talk" tolerance for differences, yet don't "live" it. Give K a big hug from me and let her know that people who have not even met her are reading your journal and are very proud of her being just who she was meant to be

stay strong em for that precious child. she should be who she wants, she can be anything she wants to be. keep reminding her and yourself, it will help deal with the bullies and those that just don't get it

I don't know what to say but this just pushed me over the edge today. This world is so messed up. We are hatefully, ignorantly judgmental towards others who are different from us and we don't even spare the children our sharp tongues. What good is being done by anyone walking about and shaming others or trying to convince them, and the world, that who they are is any less that who "we" are? It sickens me, just sickens me!

Edited to add in sarcastic quotation marks.

I'm having a real hard time personally right now. One of those parents threatened K with physical harm. I'm just sick right now. If I'm not on for a few days, don't worry I'm just taking a break.

 

[bonbean01]

Anyone uttering a physical threat can be charged for that.

Don't worry Em, we've got your back!

So sorry you and your family are going through this stuff, you're a trooper and have been amazingly strong as you've gone through all this. Let us know if there's anything we can do for you!
