Do you children? :duh:
No I have no kids but rest assured if I did, my wife or I would be at that hospital 24/7 unless they booted us out.

My beef is not really with not being there, it's that she's on the computer so often vs. cleaning her house and spending MY tax dollars on DSL, cigarettes & forums vs. applying payments to a heating contractor to have safe, adaquate heat in the home.

I like to deal in facts.
Which, in this case, you (or the rest of us) don't have and probably never will have.

The hospital encourages parents to call every hour on the hour? If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but I'm having a tough time swallowing that one.
Well, both PG and St. Anges were terrific, and yes...we could call anytime. We would talk to a staff type person and if the nurse that was assigned to the baby was free to talk, she would. Did you know that parents of many premie or sick babies have difficultly bonding with the babies for fear of becoming attached and then losing the baby? This is one reason NICUs encourage all types of communication and at any time.

That's great of your daughter and her husband Cat, alternating visits.
Actually it was my sister.

Tell me, what job does Tigg have that prevents her from staying at the hospital? Why aren't her and TWL alternating? All her friends on here, surely SOMEONE would cart her back & forth? Sorry but this is something I am passionate about. I feel for the kids. They will grow up thinking this is normal. :burning:
I can't answer that. But I do know many of the people on here are not Tigger's friends. Half the people in her forum are MPDs. I HAVE offered to help in some ways, mostly behind the scene. Constantly belittling her is not having any positive effect. I don't agree with everything she does. Sometimes there just isn't much one can do in ONE particular situation. If you are passionate about children, take the negative energy you spend on Tigger and turn in into positive energy and help other children. Tig's kids are not the only ones that may need help.

I hope you don't take my post as inflamatory because that's not the intent. It's just that Tigger has been posting on here for a few years now and, unfortunately, she posts a lot of information, and sometimes misinformation, that is probably better left unsaid and handled privately.

My hope is that Tigger and her husband will let this serve as a wakeup call and they will make some changes in their life.

Not at all. That's why I posted the way I did. I enjoy a good exchange when it is kept clean and impersonal.
You are correct. I need to let it go.
Already being done. I am spending Thurs. thru Sat. the weekend of the Richmond race at the track working with the National Safe Kids Organization sponsered by Childerns Hospital.

Mike - don't know ya.. Seem like a good guy.
But bottom linie is, "who are you to judge along with anyone else"? :patriot:
Fair question........ I judge because the children cannot judge or care for themselves. Cat was correct to point out that my rants serve no useful purpose. Everyone reading this with any common sense knows Tigg should never have procreated. Too late now. I hope either they turn around their situation or CPS removes the children. I will rant no more (on this topic).

Thanks for the "good guy" compliment. I really try to be, just get a lil carried away sometimes. :notworthy
