[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 228916, member: 3626"] I once had a very close friend say that to me. I just looked at her, packed my daughter's stuff and let her have her for a week. For the first three days, my child was an angel and had a ball. On day 4, I got a call begging me to pick her up. Worked well for me. I got a break and she never made another comment. For most, I would politely tell them that I was just venting and love her way too much to give her up for a week. However, if they wouldn't mind taking her for an hour or so every so often, it would really be appreciated. Amazingly, only person ever offered to babysit but they never again made comments about how they could change my child. The one that truly angered me was my pastor. He told me to quit sparing the rod. This was less than a year after she had come into my home. She was barely 4 years old at the time! He had been my pastor for almost all of my life. He wrote one of the letters of recommendation for my husband and I to adopt. For him to suggest that I wasn't parenting properly when I went to him for help and suggest that I basically abuse this little girl, my heart of hearts was really too much. I changed churches because of this. [/QUOTE]
