How Much Parental Advice?

Good Morning Dreamgirl1908: How are you doing today? I just re-read your post and I am confused. Do you "suspect" that I am not a real mom? What on earth makes me suspicious to you? I'll be the first, in a long line to admit, that I am probably not the average parent but in everything I commit to, such as being a mom, I have tried to set the bar high. I am just driven that way. My list of questions have not been asked here or on any other BGLO forum. How much sense would it make for any of you to ask questions from the perspective of a parent when many of you are still very much not parents nor the parents of a college age kid? That you assert that my questions are repetitive is unfounded and illogical. You may google my posting name and everything that I have posted anywhere will show up ( I learned that the hard way ). In case you can't tell, I really have nothing to hide as relates to HBCU's and my queries as a mom of an HBCU student. Of course I have to hide my son's identity adn not reveal his college... You may also find that 99.9% of the folks on the HBCUCONNECT do not share your suspicions. Why on earth would you want to throw salt? Maybe you can take this interaction and information as a step in learning to trust, observe and not jump to erroneous and negative conclusions. Finally,{ I gotta get back to work,} I am taken aback that you would attack your other Greek Fam posters for being patient, generous and polite to a mother or to any other poster. Despite the banter and good ribbing that you all give one another I urge you to take pride in the fact that your fellow posters were certainly raised right and have the hearts to be respectful in a world where too many people will cuss a mom, dad, etc. completely out. That aside, I have read numerous post by newbies and although I am not greek, I too have felt the frustration that some of you have expressed to them. I took pride and said to myself "gee, even I know that!" :-D Lastly, I have been very respectful of every BGLO that I have posted about because I am not here to hurt, enrage or start something negative. Just this morning, while on my way to work, I told other moms that they should of course go to the BGLO formal websites but they could also come here if they want additional perspectives, guidance and insight. Have a wonderful, fun and blessed day.

DreamGirl: Good Lord! Who stole your lunch? If you think this post puts all my son's business out their then don't go to The Yard and read the "real" Mother-going-postal-on son post that I initiated about "our" business. Discretion??? My goodness, I never named names and my word no one could ever pick my son or his HBCU out of an HBCU line-up if they tried. I have kept his identity, HBCU and all that to myself. Discretion? Have mercy. I don't have the indoctrination that you have about greek secrecy. Your right. I do sleep with a greek(my darling hubby) and many of my current friends and associates are also greeks but, to say that I should have exercised more discretion than posting my queries on the internet...you got me. My hubby nor my friends have ever told me any secrets. I would not know aBGLO secret if it bit me to be honest. Obviously, you were never a newbie to any forum and obviously you never asked no one any questions about the BGLO journey. Many of us mere mortals have to do so much more to learn about things than others. Don't you hate that! Newsflash that's kinda mean, but I mo leave it) My son and all his friends do post questions here. I sent them this site months ago when I was lurking and they were being Freshmen and asking they momma's about what they thought about certain frats/soros. I gave my two cents and refered them to you...this site. Be it luck, intelligence or whatever, but my son has NEVER gotten ripped or gotten one not so nice response. Again, you do not give your fellow posters or newbies enough credit :-( Your not being mean. This thread simply gets under your skin for some reason. I don't know how you relate to or tolerate your folks and that is none of my internet business. I know some kids can't stand they folks and other folks-folks too. I hope that is not the case cause I am sending you the biggest motherly hug that you could imagine. :-D You know you suppose to hug after that song you suggested we all sing(wink). I think the treatment afforded me is most appropriate and I appreciate it.
