Oklahoma institutionalizes most pre-K

I wish it didn't have to be this way, HsGma...you are one of the people who drew me to this forum. I really appreciated your experience and wisdom you shared. Not to mention the respect I had for your willingness to hs your grandson.

There are always going to be people who "clash" ...that's just life, it's just a shame that people like me on this site can't learn from you now.

I hope you know how much you are missed.

 

I miss understood you ONCE, Ma'am.
And you have searched me out for punishment ever since.
You NEVER gave me the "Shadow of a doubt" That you speak of.
Not once.

This new lady miss-quoted me and therfore was upset over soemthing I DID NOT SAY.
I had a right to set the record strait. And you could not stand missing another chance to slap back at me.

WHY are you sooo nasty?

I even complimented you in my last post, as much as I could, simply to show you that I DO respect you as a homeschooler, but you are still so mean and nasty. I don't get it.

And everyone can see it.
So, I am done.

I don't know this lady and neither do I know you, but I do know one thing and that is that you seem to get very personal in your posts and expect people to treat you better. You want her to give you the shadow of the doubt as you said but here you are calling her nasty and then trying to act as if everyone is on your side but silent about it.

Why don't people learn to look at their faults first before going on about someone? I hate this type of mentality. We need to grow up.

 

Not once has either of you said, "Oh! This was a miss-inderstanding! Ok, no problem then. Good day!"

Nope.

It is obvious that you two have decided to gang up on me.
I am sorry you feel this way.


I disagreed with one lady, once.
I was miss-quoted by another lady.
And yet, you two have decided that I am some horrible person, who must be beaten down. You continue to miss-represent what I have said, even though everyone can read the thread and see for themselves.

No matter how much I compliment.
No matter how much I try to explain.
I am trash to you.

Therefore, I refuse to continue to fight with two people who have decided that I can do no right.

I wish someone else would stand up (In this playground) and make me feel less crazy.


Enjoy yourselves.....

HomeschoolG'ma, I do not feel sad for you at all. You have chosen to rehash the past and bring a dark cloud upon, what I consider, a wonderful place for homeschool parents to come together. If Umm-Layth had a problem with what was being said then that is her choice. If we believe that Jesus is Lord and Savior then we need to step back and allow him to be judge. Nobody is accountable to any other person except to the Lord. None of us here are perfect and none of us can please everybody with what we write. We all have a choice to agree or disagree in love and with compassion.
I do not know you except by the recent posts that have been left. If you think that anybody is wrong then maybe you should take it to them through pm. I was going to say that it is none of my business but you brought your business to a forum that the world can view. I hope and pray that non-believers do not read these post and think, "Wow, is this what Christianity and homeschooling is about."
God bless you and I am glad you have found a forum that meets your needs.

In Christ's Love,
Patty

 

Well said Patty...I agree 100%

 

Poor Jen. I thought I was the black sheep around here..

To me, these people who grow up thinking it's fine to kill others who believe differently from them are not mentally ill, they are just brought up in that thought from baby on up. They don't know any better. Lost is a good word.

Somebody said let God judge them, and that's exactly right.

 

And as for people leaving this forum because they don't like someone-

Tigger said it best- 'TTFN.. Ta Ta For Now!'

 

Me too. Great words of wisdom.

Jen......I think both me and Becky can safely say, we've been here and done this before (right Beck:lol: ). Just breath and let it go. :love:

 

Well, maybe I shouldn't comment, cuz I haven't been in this until reading it today. I just feel bad that people are hurt, and misunderstandings are not able to be settled! Whether I agree with everything you say or not, I still respect and appreciate each one of you! You can find bad if you want, or you can find good if you want, it's up to you.

I love this board. 99% of the time it's great and people get along well! The people that frequent this board are a big mix, with many different methods of homeschooling. I know many on here using CM type of schooling, and also some who use computer classes, and some who use workbook style. Whatever the case, I have learned a LOT from being here! I've homeschooled for 9 years, but I still learn things from those just beginning, and I hope that I have been able to help others with what experience I have.

Amanda has a post that says if you have problems with a thread or a poster, then just don't read that thread anymore, and skim over the posts of someone who may bother you. I agree with her post! I would rather nobody leave on any account, cuz we can all glean stuff from others. But I understand that some places can meet needs better than others.

So, if you're leaving, you'll be missed! If you're staying, welcome, glad to have you! I hope we can all get along!

 

I guess I know how Jen feels because this has happened to me in another forum plenty of times. She is passionate when she writes. When we get passionate about something we tend to become very vocal, and one shouldn't be looked down for being passionate. Also, when we feel our comments have been taken wrong (like how Jen was misquoted, many times) we feel the need to defend ourselves until we know for certain that others understand our ground. If we took the time to try and understand each other with tolerence, then perhaps this whole silly arguement wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Jen --you were misquoted and HSG'ma and UMM should have acknowledge that you were misquoted. Instead, they choose to get nasty and keep rehashing. They should not have treated you as such, because you were only correcting their misunderstanding and when it escalated you were defending yourself...if they can't see that in black and white......oh well, too bad for them....They should REALLY take the time and go back and check out the posts!

Thank you, Deena!

 

Forgive me if I misunderstood you. But I think the problem was that you didn't clarify what you meant because what I quoted in my first post here - http://homeschoolspot.com/showpost.php?p=42983&postcount=72 seemed pretty clear. Other then that, I do apologize for misunderstanding anything but I don't apologize for speaking my mind, even if you felt it was meant in the way you explained here http://homeschoolspot.com/showpost.php?p=42991&postcount=74

I really hope that we can apply what we call people to, to ourselves. We are all human and this is one of my mistakes. But (this is for everyone as general advice) if you wish to tell someone not to misunderstand you (whether they did or not), then also don't twist their words either and try to dig for their intentions.

My post was a very simple post in regards to what was said and what I believe, not an attack or a desperate comeback.

And bugsmommy, I don't believe I got nasty. If you feel so, that's okay, I am not perfect. However, it seemed that I was jumped on with all of the assumptions and dissection of my post. Thank you though.

 

And,

I never said you were a horrible person and that you must be beaten down. And you aren't trash to me either.

This is what I dislike. Assumptions. I simply responded to a post and didn't like the assumptions you made and you fall into more. It is best to drop it now I believe.

 

Wow, I read this thread over good, I was lost and had a hard time with it. I have to agree with Deena, I love this site, I understand there are alot of different people on here, that is why if you don't like something just over look it and don't post anything if you don't want to hurt anyones feeling. We have the right to overlook it. Take a few days away from the site if needed. I love everyone on here so this hard. Hang in there everyone.

 

I deleted my comments.

 

The reason I love this site is because we can learn so much from each other. As homeschoolers we are under attack by a world that cannot grasp why we do what we do. I find a lot of support and advice here that I honestly have not found elsewhere. I have been to a few other sites in the past and never stuck around because if people did not agree, it became a bashing party and it was harsh and cruel. I have had people disagree with me on this site as well but they have been kind and courteous and never put me down. I don't mind it if people do not see things my way just so long as we can still be kind to each other because this is what we should do for one another especially when we have a flawed world to contend with. This is why I really enjoy it here. It seems that for the most part, the people here are fun, loving, and uplifting. It is great!!!
I really like the idea that we all do things a bit different because we can teach each other something new. The one thing that we all have in common is our desire to raise and teach our little ones an education that is benificial to their lives.
What I thought was fabulous is that some people around here actually have relationships beyond the computer.
It shows that people really care for you.
God bless!!!
Patty

 

I have to say, that out of the 4 forums that I frequent throughout the week, this one by far has the most caring, considerate, compassionate, and loving people on it. I feel like I can be myself here, to be honest. We may all have differences, different opinions, and all that jazz, but that is what makes us all who we are. Despite all of our shortcomings...because I know I definitly have mine ...I really appreciate everyone here.:love:

I also want to add, that whenever I post something here, especially when it's a prayer request, all of you lift me up in ways I don't get in any of the other forums. I always feel lifted up when I need it most.

 

Very nicely said Jen. AMEN I feel the same you do about the forum everyone here is wonderful, I have made some really close, lovely and caring friends on here. They have helped me so much.
