This is the same poster who bent over backwards to help an older homeless couple, too.


The child never said it was hard. The child said it would take too long. Big Difference!

She just wanted the OP to do it for her because she didn't want to do it herself.


@occasionalrain.  Doesn’t matter. The title of the thread was ‘all children are lazy’.  That’s what got the op in hot water.

Or so the OP said. But, once again, I wonder what one can find in the library that can be cut out.

I am surprised the topic is being relitigated after being removed.

 

It is a fact of life that opinions will be questioned and that there will be disagreement.  Sometimes an opinion is wholeheartedly accepted. Sometimes overwhelmingly the opposite.  This one was the latter.  

 

Accept it and move on.

@shortbreadlover  you don't seem to understand there are many parents and grandparents posting here

 

When you insult their children/grands even indirectly, you are bound to raise their ire.

 

And especially since it was posted on Mother's Day.

remember the "unwritten rule" on any message board, especially when complaining about something....... there will always be some that question or ask for more information.....

Our city library is pretty broad in activities for all ages.  Including crafts, movies, crocheting and even yoga. Last Christmas they decorated the lower level with the construction paper garland that the children cut out and pasted together.  Library is a treasure trove of more than books.

I don't know what happened, but I think the good on this forum outweighs the bad. And sometimes we need a break from it, I do understand that.

I have gotten a lot of good advice here, and if I don't agree, I don't agree. Its ok. We are all different.
