Have you ever been told you are a lousy unfit parent?

for actually asking a question about a parenting dilemna here on Yahoo? Seems someone took offense to me even asking a question and gave me the impression that if we have to ask questions about what to do, that we should have our kids taken away from us. The person went seriously berzerk on me but the kicker is they actually got a couple of thumbs up. No one seemed to report them either though they broke about every Yahoo guideline there is. Other people have asked similar questions as mine but they got reasonable answers.

    Ignore them they might go away! A lot of idiots,sick,nasty people and trolls on here,There usually the once who are liking and unliking comments most of the time,But scared to ask questions theirselves because they know there the crappy people. They wanna grow up!

    To the other poster don't stop asking questions atull,why should you? You have a right to be here! Just because there's nasty ignorant people about on here as well as trolls,they should be the once getting off the site and perhaps getting something done with there lifes as well seen as they have a lot of time on there hands.

    I haven't on here, but in real life I was told I was a terrible parent because I bought my daughter some food to snack on while I did my grocery shopping. She said that I was spoiling her by giving her something to keep her quiet when she should be expected to behave. She is three and I was shopping during her lunch time, so I bought her some food to hold her down until she could really eat. I had no idea that feeding my hungry child meant I was a bad mother -_-

    I was once told (on another site) that if the person in question could figure out where I lived she'd report me to social services.

    I told her it was in my profile and she should feel free to point her health visitor at my posts for her opinion.

    (I'd suggested closing a small child's bedroom door such that they couldn't open it. Said small child was coming downstairs every 5 minutes, new exciting skill now they weren't in a cot any more, and becoming frantically upset every time they were taken back up.)

    YUP! Just actually went through that. I asked a question about how to get my daughter started in modeling and acting and whatnot, next thing i knew i was being called a terrible mother. How if i were to do that to her that i would be doing it for myself(which isnt the case at all!) I think its terribly rude for people to comment things like that when they actually have no clue who you are! I asked a question a while back because my daughter kept waking up in the middle of the night screaming like she was in pain. One answer was that i must be a shitty parent because idk whats wrong with her and kids just cry! DUH! wow i couldnt believe it. i've pretty much decided that im not posting questions on here anymore because you get smart *** people who just wanna be rude. i was always brought up that if you dont have anything nice to say, say nothing at all!

    I'm so sorry someone did that to you. That isn't ok. I'm sorry I can't hold your hand and comfort you through this tough time. And to think people actually agreed with what that person said...it's heartbreaking.

    Get over yourself. Good God. Maybe you really do suck as a mom, and you just can't face the truth.

    Only from trolls on Y/Answers. I figure that if someone is going to send me a PM to call names and insult me, then block me before I can respond, it says far more about them than it does about me. Don't take it personally. Some people have no lives and get their jollies from being nasty to others.
