Really?!

I am not judging Jec but I am trying to shed light on the fact that sometimes providers need to vent. Most of us do not have access to co workers with whom to vent. A lot of venting is part of problem solving. Myself aswell as many others are more likley to vent more often on private forums rather than public "open" forums. I do think that some people are not suited for this job but I also think that sometime venting is just venting.

In adding....not sure if anyone else feels this way (i think it's just human nature) every once in a while when I feel the "balance" is off (a little too much negative dwelling in my day and with the forum) I feel like I should add a positive too..."so glad I have great kids" "so glad its friday" "funny things kids might say", seems more natural for our world to dwell on the negative, thats why the news amd media is so..."dreary" to say the least....no sun shine and roses in life, just clouds and weeds. I enjoy the vents cuz thats what we need to survive in this job, def can't take it out on the kids and parents (nor would we want to) but I def enjoy the positive posts and feedback as well. this is a good place to come for GOOD and BAD!!! I like it here.

I agree...a vent is just a vent but as mimi also put, it's the vents that help us put things into persective and become better and learn from them. Yes, they do!
I don't find the discussions on this forum like what I talk about at all....everyone here has been supportive as I mentioned and again, thank you for that.
Some times a little up roar isn't a bad thing either- having someone not agree with you isn't a bad thing- again, learning and seeing a different point of view only makes you view things and see things differently.
I need to vent like everyone else but for what I've been reading else where on a specific site- it's more than just letting off steam and it's a general vibe I get reading many of the posts. Not all providers on it are like I am saying, in fact, again I mentioned I learned from many of them too. Just I really do find this site to be more positive and helpful.
