1st not-nice comment on my blog!

_{Started by Jessica , author of Jumping Waves} _{2/10/2010 10:01:42 PM}

I just got my first "not nice" comment on my blog. Actually, I'm not offended. I suppose if you didn't know the situation personally, it would come across as very bitter too. However, I think I handled it respectfully. What do you think? The post is here.

You did good. Let it roll off you though. I always think I can handle a differing opinion, but I will delete personal attacks.

Try being verbally attacked via a blog comment by a family member. That's lovely.

Kristen, I think this comment wasn't so bad. But it would be harder to let it roll off my back if it was a personal attack! Let's hope it doesn't happen!

Chrissy,

I'm sorry you have been attacked by a family member via your blog. I think that seems a little cowardly.

The best thing to do is to ignore it when you can and move on. The more you feed it, the worse it can get. I know it is hard not to engage, but sometimes it is for the best. You did a great job!

I think you handled it well. I have been part of the "team" involved in IEP's before and it can be stressful for everyone, but like I said, I think you handled the comment well.

I think your post was just fine. It is obvious to me that the person took you literally rather than seeing it for what it truly was. Don't sweat it.

I am in the fight of my life with my daughters school district right now. I do know and understand that her teachers love and care for her and her best intrests. However, yes, in order to get what is TRULY in the best intrests of your child there is the nasty that comes out because they make it so hard sometimes. I unterstand that there is red tape, politics, funding, and policies but really none of that means anything to me as a mommy of a child with special needs if that is not the best option for her.! The team approach is great but at the end of the day I am still in charge and that is the part I feel they disregard the most. They have the broad education in special ed... I know my daughter!

So yes I think you were right on! I do understand. You go girl!

Thanks, AZ Mamma!!

Pam, it's nice to have someone who knows where you're coming from! And, truly, I AM blessed to have a wonderful team working with us. However, I know that we are the exception to that rule and that things could change in an instant. I do appreciate your kind words and support, and I wish you the best of luck with you and your daughter's school district. It's not an easy one, but if you're like me, you won't be backing down!
