It feeds the bitterness of my soul!

Bibbity You are so pompous and patronising, calling people uneducated even if it is about technology is rude and disrespectful.

Just laugh at such stupid remarks, rafichagran

Honestly, I hope no-one takes such remarks seriously, just feel sorry for whoever posts such stuff.

... adults who are ignorant regarding technology ...

Sometimes we don't actually know that we're ignorant, until a problem arises.
Then we learn, and can avoid a similar problem in the future.
And we ask other people if they were already aware of this problem, and if not they can learn from our experience as well.

I do wonder why young Mums come on GN, just to sneer and disparage those who are mostly older people.
Does it make them feel superior? Are they out of their depth on MN?

I don't understand it.

Thankyou Calistemom you are right of course. It is very sad that a younger Mother feels the need to come on here and be disrespectful.

They’re on a mission to save grandchildren ?

It’s too late for our children because they’ve already grown up (into decent, caring people) in spite of us?

They’re on a mission to save grandchildren

And making an arse of themselves into the bargain!

Why is worrying about children's safety on the internet so terrible?

Never made a mistake violetsky? Done something you regretted? Learned from a mistake?

That’s just being human. It doesn’t deserve the invective that’s been poured out on the OP.

We all make mistakes, the key is how big or small the repercussions are

We can't learn from mistakes unless we know what the possible consequences are or learn the hard way... I'd rather someone told me than learn the hard way honestly

I'm sure you wouldn't rather be addressed the way some people on here have.
Quite simply, there is no need for it.

Well hopefully they would point out my mistake rather than telling me I was careless, unsafe, uneducated, a problem, and other personal remarks.

I’ve never believed that was productive as a learning tool.

I don't see the OP asking for advice in her post. People often share an 'Oops!' moment to bond with others who may have done something similar so will empathise, and maybe in the hope of some support, so they don't feel too bad about what they have said is a mistake (which we all make).

I've always thought that unsolicited advice is more for the benefit of the giver than the receiver. Whether that's always true or not, I do know it's very rarely welcome.

I rather like the "failed as an adult" comment..
So helpful.

In her OP, Shinamae said "I am annoyed with my grandson but I’m bloody furious with myself,"
Then Bibbiti immediately chipped in with: 'Why are you annoyed at your grandson when you failed as the adult?' evidently having failed to comprehend that Shinamae was not by any means guilty as accused.
All the aggro in this thread could have been avoided if certain posters had bothered to read and understand that the OP was fully aware of her mistake and resolved to set her grandson on the right track.

My comment said not to be annoyed at grandson too?

I think this has all gone a bit too far and behaving in ways people say is wrong in others makes no sense

Closely followed by Believe me I pity your children and I am so so sorry your lives are so incomplete

Aren't we lucky to have such a clever and well informed tool in our box?

Yes, it's all gone a bit too far.
Further than it usually does because usually people who little to say on any other subject pounce on an opportunity to be rude.
However, perhaps people have decided not to accept that kind of behaviour anymore.

Shinamae is lovely as well

Awww thank you Jane and for all the others who have supported me,means a lot…????

Bibbity

Again how you interpret text is not of my concern or care. The message is there. The uneducated comments were wrong. The cancelling of the card was unnecessary and adults who are ignorant regarding technology should not be handing any over to young children. It is dangerous and the defensive comments regarding my posts rather than the self reflection speaks volumes.

To be so loud and so wrong is quiet impressive.

Ohh……..if only i had your wisdom….??… you should really feel sorry for me,not castigate me at every opportunity..?

You are welcome shina glad it is all sorted with your Grandson.
