About my question re Charlotte........

I just want to say to you guys that the question part is so the person who asks the question can get a view of what other parents think.

Now with the question i asked people offered what they had been told or what they do and i feel it is no ones business to question this, especialy if it is what they have been told by a medical practioner. As i have just writen to a person who emailed me to let me know what happened to my post, we all have the right to an opion, but we dont need to tell people that they are wrong. it is my decision if i take their advise or not.

Now i have been told by a doc to give both panadol and nurofen together and other mums have been told change it with panadol then 3 hours later nurifen and others have been told not to mix at all.

Now i know its not my place to appologies for what happened but if we dont have the power of free speach here as a parent to give someone advise on what WE do to our kids then what is the piont of this site huh?????

sorry had to get this out as it has upset me.

Free Speech
Free speech is grate, when people can agree to disagree. And sometimes things can get a little out of hand because not every one knows when to wave the white flag and say...

You know what lets agree to disagree!

So on a site like this even free speech needs to be monitored as there is a fine line sometimes between free speech and down right disagreements that cause arguments...

On sites such as this one it needs to be monitored because we have lost many a contributing member due to disagreement and the inability to play nice...

This is why a short e-mail or a report comment is sometimes needed because once something starts a lot of people get on the wagon to start defending their friends and we lose the grasp or what the actual Question or even article was about...

So while I still agree with free speech I also agree with monitoring of comments because it is one thing to say what we think and feel as to down right telling people that they are wrong!

Opinions
You are absolutely right.  If somebody makes a comment on what they have done that worked for them it should not be given a poor rating and the person attacked for it. We're all just here to give advice on what we would do or have done or seen others do that worked for them.  Everything is opinion based and not to medical advice.  Voting down an opinion or saying something negative about what someone else has done (particularly if all they are saying is this is what worked for me, or this is what I did) is what causes all the problems on minti and causes people to leave.  We can do without that sort of negativity.  I'm sorry it happened Libby, and I didn't see what went on but have been told what happened and it's very sad that it's come to this.

'Bad day

I agree, though in the past I have myself been in arguements in q&a, sometimes the way we read something especially if it lacks puctuation can be mis-interpreted, and sometimeswhen we are unhappy in ourselves and are avoiding confrontaions and arguements at home, they come out here as the alternative option.  I'm not trying to make excuses, it is wrong as you say.  It is all opinion based and if facts or hear say medical advice can be offered to back it up, all the better.

Try not to take it to heart.  I read your original question but didn't go in as you had a heap of coments listed, I thought you'd have it covered.  I am sorry if it was all an arguement with no helpful advice to speak of.

Maybe we need an Ärgue here"group LOL.  Through there are a couple of religeous ones & thats usually a good place to start LOL......

Shake it off if you can Libby.  trust me, it's not worth bringing it into your breathing walking around world...leave it in Minti.

Kisses

This subject also upsets me

Good Morning all,

It makes me so upset when i read a nasty comment in regards to someone elses advice or question. If that person didnt feel it was the best way that they dealt or deal with that problem they wouldnt off suggested anyone else tryd. I feel that is the reason for alot of annonymous questions on minti. The person asking the question does not wont to be judged on their question. Which to me is REALLY stupid.  Everyone is in a different situation, so no-one can then judge or say something is wrong, or incorrect just because that is their opinion. We are all different and so are our opinions.

Its not just words on a web site, Its a parent asking for help or a parent trying to help. Lets all face it words weither written or spoke still hurt the same

 Rach.

So Very True

I agree that we all post questions simply to get advice.  As mums our job can be quite a guessing game at the best of times.  Advice from other parents is often the best as we all experience the same kind of parenting duties.  But if we are ever in doubt, its medical advice we seek.  Lets face it at the end of the day it IS your choice to follow what you truly agree is the best for your child.

                                                       Cheers

i agree
thanks for that hun. makes me feel better, i feel the same way those r my thoughts exactly. If some has something to offer all suggestions should be said. and that's right it then up to you which one you go with. have a great day all .  our children are our lives and I'm sure no one would offer a suggestion that would harm someone else child...

i agree that its your opinion
I also agree that we are all entitled to say what we thing. However when I suggested that it not be done this is because I WAS TOLD that it can harm the child. I also provided a link to support it. That should have been the end of it but you had to reply in a nasty way making the question get deleted.

Everyone believes different things. You may believe that it wont harm your child, however I had advice from my doctor to not do it, advice article from a member with supporting evidence that it shouldn't be done and i can even point you in the right direction to the Womens and Childrens Hospital in Adelaide website which also says not to do it.

However at the same time I can also show you websites that say to do it and probably even find a doctor or two that will say its fine. I was however saying what I knew so the person asking the question would know that there is dangers and not just do it without medical advice.

I wasn't attacking you at all. I was simply saying not to do it and heres why. It is then the persons choice whether they will ask their doctor first but we need to remember we are NOT doctors and we do NOT know everything so its not really a smart idea to tell a parent to give their child double medications without them consulting a doctor first.
