To the grammar police,PA Patrol and trolls in general,my letter of resignation

[corinnejenkins]

I am finished. I quit. While a good bit of the women on here are absolutely wonderful,the rest make up for it.  I had been thinking about it,but after the last post I read,I know. This woman wrote in about being on PA and everyone jumped all over her.

Stop making excuses and get off your ass and get a job.

This was a typical response. I joined this site to get support from other mothers. I do not enjoy coming on here and reading things like this,so I quit. People jumped all over this woman.

a. child care assistance doesn't pay for everything even if neither of them have a job and no income they will only pay like 80%

b.I don't know about her area,but with mine,most are on child care assistance. There are strict rules on that. That pretty much rules out in home daycare.

c.How is her husband supposed to find another job if she's gone in the car? And what dream world do yall  live in that a prospective employer will bend to whenever he can come in? How you noticed the economy?? There are plenty more who will come in whenever they need them to.

d. Didn't your mothers teach you if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all.

Therefore,good bye grammar police,goodbye PA patrol,  and above all good bye to the trolls!Have fun tearing each other apart,since you clearly have no other power in your lives.

To those of you that not included in these groups,I apologize for my rant.
