Thank you. Tis crazy talk.

Gotta set the narrative early!
This is the best thing ever. Boom!
It really is BS Internet activism. Folks can rage and feel good about their hypothetical decisions while doing absolutely nothing. Win, win. I haven’t read all of the comments but the ones that are similar to mines seem to be sympathetic to the little girl while pointing out reality. I guess it's easier to think…
Why are you assuming that
This is true and people are going to label you heartless for stating this. I don't know, maybe the town will continue to celebrate with her for years to come. However, if that doesn't happen then mom and dad will have to choose other options to try and help their daughter. I've dealt with rejection, my kids have dealt…
I know typing it makes you feel warm, fuzzy and righteous but the reality is that IRL you can't always drop or WANT to drop what else you have planned to address the needs of others. Admitting this does not make me and those who agree with me heartless monsters who want little kids with no friends to suffer. There is…
Me too, actually. It’s not a perfect solution but I’ve found it reduces no shows and wasting resources. I suspect it’s just internet activism where everyone would have made the right decision if they were involved. The little one’s disability just makes the situation sadder but I don't see why anyone has to be at…
Regardless of what the perfect people with perfect children are posting, you will simply do the best you can. I was actually quite involved with school activities and PTA. So that may help you get an idea of the parents you’ll be dealing with. Even with that I simply didn’t know everything about every child in my…
Of course it is but surely you know that it may take several attempts before something sticks and the little one has a genuine friend. At least the parents said no in advance. And since the family can't expect the town to pitch in every birthday, hopefully the parents will try to find other opportunities for their…
Except that it might not make the situation better forcing your kid to go. You could probably get away with it with kids second grade and under since all they want is to play and get sugar. But by age 10 kids are pretty vocal about their friends and preferences. Have you been in attendance at a party where the kids…
Maybe, maybe not. Life isn’t necessarily like a sitcom/movie where folks plan fiendishly to destroy the nerd, different or outcast. If in fact the child is having a hard time making friends then the other parents probably felt no need to force their kids to attend the party because the kids said they didn’t want to…
Can I just say that it may not be a case of kids and their parents being dicks? As a mom of two, I simply couldn’t let my children attend every party for which they received invitations. Most parties are on the weekends. Between chores, sports/practice/games/clubs, errands, family events, and just being plain tired…
True. I hated MoS (despite my undying love/lust for Cavill) but want to see if they can make BvS work. My expectations are low though.
The real answer is WB/DC wants to compete with the expanded Marvel Universe. But instead of a slow, well orchestrated buildup with standalone films to establish individual heroes leading to the Justice League (like Marvel did with the Avengers starting with Iron Man, Captain America and Thor), they said “fuck it”…
Not sure if I was being trolled by the “DGAF their problem” poster so I dismissed.
We can agree to disagree. There are potentially (if this isn’t a fake confession) 26 people and an untold number of their subsequent partners since the event who may have been exposed to STIs. These people have a right to know they may be at risk and should be tested.
