Also, parenting can be a bit cliquey.
And, also, I find it's better to have the attitude of a student rather than a teacher. I've learned a lot here.
Is this in response to me? I don't think I have the attitude of a teacher, but I do try to offer support to other users sometimes because I know that even a forum can make a difference when times are hard. Generally there's no response at all or no response to me, so I have no idea if it helps, does nothing, or even makes things worse and is annoying.
I think it was in response to me. I don't think I'm changing my attitude anytime soon, but I get where andro was coming from. I have the attitude of me, which is what it is. I don't think of myself as teacherly, more self righteous and proud of it.

No, but seriously, I don't intend to come off as teacherly. I learn a lot from others here.

You don't.
Honestly, you are worrying too much. Your posts are as good as anyone's.

But it's what I do best! If I give it up, whatever will I do.
Thanks for the feedback, andro.

I haven't done that since I sent my ex back to live with his mother.

picture looks frighten. makes me feel sad and desire to comfort it.
I love Allie Brosh's work (Hyperbole and a Half, the blog, the book, etc.). Context for the drawing is in the blog. It's sometimes how I feel - like I'm clinging on to my 'responsible adulthood' trophy for dear life.

Thanks, bungleton, for the feedback. I think the same about Allie's work. I adore everything she has ever written, and especially her willingness to share her struggles.

hi ominous we're worlds apart, but here's another one that has either way, grown to like your posts and typed thoughts. your avatar character's name (i didn't catch it) has a disturbingly flexible mouth.
it seemed familiar when i read it, then i saw my cousin reading a hyperbole and a half book..in the younger generation, too. i thought of you when i saw it.
i get how you could be seen as 'teacherly' but we're all students here. i do sometimes worry whether i am helpful enough, but forget that please. 
there's not a lot of reciprocity among posts compared to a few other sites that i've been on, but i don't mind either.
