you know it is pretty bad when you come to a group and open yourself up to try and get support. Well I am on alot of other groups on DS, and I must say they are alot more welcoming and supportive than this one. I have not got one reply to my NEW MEMBER post. So aprently this is a little click gruop like in high school or you people do not care about anyone except yourself and your problems.
I do not think I want to be part of such an unwelcoming group. I have gotten more feed back from my dogs than I have from the people on this group. I need not say any more.

" Wow. You know, you wrote your original post on 10/18, just this past Sunday- 4 days ago. My first post here in this group took 9 days to get a reply.

How sad you aren't patient enough to give anyone a chance and judging them. Each 'group' on DS is different in their response time. And I think that not everyone has time to read every post and reply. It's a hit and miss thing and sometimes it takes a while to get replies.

I don't think it's a click like High School at all, and I'm sorry you think so. I hope you can forgive and move past it so it doesn't leave you bitter.
Take care... "

" Hi, I joined this group awhile ago. I dont think anyone is ignoring or being clickish. It just does not seem to be one of the most active groups.. IMO.. Perhaps a group should be started for parents of teen where it is strongly suggested it be checked at least once a week? I dont even check on it anymore as there is not much new.. I will check if something pops up in the daily digest.. Hang in there, become friends with those you feel comfortable with, response time might be faster. God bless "

" Well, as the parent of a teenager myself, I would have welcomed you if I'd seen it, but as his only parent, I have been rather busy driving hundreds of miles to fetch him home from college because he is so sick. Also, I have lupus, and don't always have the energy to check every single group that I belong to every single day. So please don't call me unwelcoming or clicky, I am neither. "

" Hi slrow, i think its good that you posted this. If theres anything bothering us then we should say, i have wondered in the past if people have ignored me, i think its happened to most on here so good on you for bringing it up. I hope you still participate in discussions. Some of us come and go or dont get alerted to some topics so dont take a lack of response personally ok :o) "
