I think you're being a little rough on Ali. Once upon a time, she had no kids, and I'm sure she went through the same doubts, fears and thought processes as anyone else. I'm also sure she remembers what it feels like. It would be sad to think that the act of childbirth makes you unfit to hold an opinion, and I for one enjoy her posts.
Because I'm no longer married, does that mean that I can't post here either? I'd hope not.
I didn't say she couldn't post here. And my original post to her was not intended to "jump" on what she said.
What I didn't appreciate was the way that she responded to my post.
I never said that she can't have an opinion - I may not agree with all her opinions, but I do respect them. But not when she starts accusing me of jumping all over her and not reading the posts, etc.
I am not on this board to debate with parents. I am here to discuss CF with those who are CF or those who are fence-sitters. I hear enough of parents' opinions every day, and MY opinion is that I don't want to hear it here. I don't see what is wrong with that. It's an opinion. Which, of course, I am free to have and express, just as parents are free to express their opinions.
Yes, this is an open forum, and I'm not saying that parents can't post, but then they shouldn't be surprised if someone reacts to something they post in a way that they don't like.
