[blparent] Introduction and a question

Tue Feb 16 21:43:46 UTC 2016

Accusing the father of being a sperm donor is a far cry from saying that the 
rehab counselor is spoon feeding her client information.  Neither claim is 
based on well established fact, but one is much more damaging and unfounded 
than the other.  We're simply asking you to be more sensitive and less harsh 
and critical when you express your opinions so that new members--and perhaps 
veteran ones--feel free to ask questions on the list.

Still guys, as a professional this lady
needs to be helping her client get on the list not just spoon feeding
whatever info *she* (not necessarily the client) finds useful.
That's all I've been trying to say. It's only nasty and has no place if you
disagree with it, which you are free to do.

It may not have occurred to her at the time, although she may refer her
client now.  Plus, client may or may not have computer access, or may be
getting computer training.  Who knows? . . .

To me it's strange she isn't telling the
client about this list. I don't understand why she wouldn't give her client
the tools and this list is one of them, v. feeding the client information.
It's like a pharamicist saying "take these iron supplements" because then
they remain in business when eating spinach would accomplish the same thing.

If you read the initial post, this is a vision rehab. instructor inquiring
for some information for one of her clients. Why are you reading more into
it? No need for any additional information from her. If she wants to tell
her client about your list, she will.  Blessings to you all.

We have not been given
any information by which we can assume that the  father in question, if
there is one, is a sperm  donor.  That's a dangerous  and  needless
conclusion to jump to.

My sense is that
in this case, the father is
a father in
sperm donation either.
And like J.E. says,
why are you asking these questions for her? She can get  on the list and
ask whatever she wants. So can  you, it's just odd that you  are and she
isn't. Makes me wonder what more is going on.

Why don't you suggest that
your client might want to join this list?  She  could ask the question for
herself, and a lot  of other parenting questions,  too, if she is
interested.  There are many mothers of babies and  toddlers  here, and some
mothers of older  children, or mothers whose children are  grown now.

Hello Judy,
Thanks for the information. I had almost  thought of that angle but not all
the way
