Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 , I'm not looking to argue with you either, I just want to understand what it was I said that was any different than what Jen said for instance. It seems when a Starband or Hanger band parents says experience is key and that a helmet is only as good as the ortho it's all good, but when a DOCband parents says it then it's biased. If you guys think it makes Hanger/STAR moms to feel bad when we say this, think about how bad it makes the Hanger/Star parents who have had bad experiences feel to hear people take offense to experience being stressed to members. So, if you really want to keep me from offending anyone w/my stressing experience to people, I need to know what it was in that post that you all found so offensive. > > > > > > While I appreciate that the majority of the > > > > mother's who post to > > > > > this board > > > > > > are HUGE DOCband supporters, I am also > > starting > > > > to feel that > > > > some > > > > > of you > > > > > > think it is unwise to even try any other > > band. > > > > I have my son in > > > > a > > > > > STARband, > > > > > > and due to all of the posts about Hanger, I > > feel > > > > as though I > > > > should > > > > > be > > > > > > guilty of being an " inadequate " mother for > > not > > > > putting my child > > > > in a > > > > > > DOCband.
