acs:
I apologize for putting things in a way that you see as an attack on your choices. I hope you know me well enough to know that was NEVER my intention.
I respect you deeply. I respect your choices. I respect that we are all different. I certainly don't think you abuse your child and NEVER intended to imply that!
OTOH, I do think extended periods of boredom were the equivalent of abuse for my child, and I do not think that he is alone. I will qualify what I said for clarity and accuracy, but I do stand by it. It is my take on my experience. It is valid.
You think I get carried away; I think too many people think boredom is no big deal.
I do apologize if I said anything that hurt you in any way though. You know that I am your biggest fan! And I have a deep and abiding belief that you know your child best. I would never dream of second-guessing your choices. Never!
