I didn’t think Aimee’s comments were way out of line, maybe a tad misplaced, but then a whole thread devoted to calling her on the carpet for it seems to me to be much worse.

Unfortunately, it is pretty typical.  Many parents only like to hear the good and not the bad and anyone who dares to bring it up is pounded on.  The only thing missing this time are the "me too" comments that add nothing to the conversation and sound like a bunch of children lining for cake and ice cream.  Oh wait...I’m not a mother, how can I comprehend how children behave?

Once again, it becomes obvious why few adults with CAH even bother on a regular basis.   I could go on and on with many examples of how and when it has occurred here and it’s a rather reflection on how the shame and secrecy continues to be perpetuated over yet another generation.  Thanks, Danny, for being one of the good parents out there.  Your kids are lucky and I bet your daughter will not be one of the sad teenagers with CAH we hear from at BLO on a regular basis.  I should keep track of those who think their babies will be happy surgery was done when they couldn’t remember so I can reference it back in 15 years.

The community over at BLO is interesting because it is composed primarily of adults, and they act their age as well even people disagree with them or say something they don’t like. 

Aimee, post away girl--you’ll get used to the venom after awhile.
