I remember when I first joined minti I never read the words bitch or someone calling someone else stupid because of way they thought. What is the world of minti coming to?

Where did all the friendliness go? When people disagreed with something it was just an opinion! People left their opinions, good or bad, but never actual attacks that I see more often here. Ok it is not all the time, but becoming more frequent.

We are all here for the same reason, parental advice, to help those who need it and to take advice if we need it. Of course not every one is going to agree with you and not every one is going to disagree with you, you may not find what you are looking for either but there is usually plenty of different things to try for one problem which may or may not help… WE CAN'T PLEASE EVERY ONE....

Look at it like this, if someone disagrees with you, take it on the chin, and say well that is how that person works, I hope their parental styles work for them. And if some agrees with you great! Just because something works for my kid does not mean it is going to work for yours.

The point is when you get down to it; there is no way on earth that we can please every one. If we could there would be no need for a site like this because every one would be home playing happy families.

I have not been commenting on much of late, the odd pop in here and there; because I have been reading too much stuff that well was just not the minti I used to know.

Lets all try to get along. We all have the same goal… To help our children to grow up happy and be wonderful adults! At least that is my goal. Ok so you might disagree with me. That is ok. This is what I want for my child. I would love one day for him to come to me and say thanks mum for the wonderful job you did bringing me up. I can’t thank my parents enough for what they did for me. And I don’t ever remember them having a support system like this...

Let’s not ruin it with petty comments, calling people stupid because they believe on thing and don’t agree with us….

Let’s be happy little mintites and enjoy what has been given to us free of charge….

A place where we can meet people, and have many different idea’s on how to deal with many problems that we may have to face in the future if we have not faced them already. One thing may not work for you but another might…

Good luck... I hope Minti can get past all the petty stuff and come back to being the place I remember…..
