I feel like I offer lots of support on this board, and lots of people, yourself included, Momof4, have supported me, and I am grateful for that. I love many women that I've met on here, and some have become off board friends, too.

But...I am not just talking about momofnerds, nor am I just talking about the story about the woman momofnerds saw the other day. I am talking about this whole disgusting thread, where people do nothing to hide their hatred of the poor. It deeply upsets me, and I cannot sit and read it without saying my piece. I have as much right to state my case as everyone else. I won't let fake stats slide when they're being used to incriminate a vulnerable population. That's just wrong, sorry.

It's so upsetting to see the same tired old stereotypes being propagated here of all places, where we are supposed to be teaching the next generation to do better, yet the cycle of prejudice and closed mindedness continues. It's just so sad and disheartening.

In future, I will try to stick to daycare issues, but it's hard to stand by and watch sometimes.
