Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Dear Archie and other girls,

Today I am writing a message after a long gap. I was also in the process of ttc about 2 months back and have found Archie's advises very useful . Although I don't post any message now-a-days, but I read others posts regularly. About 3-4 days back I noticed that someone made some unpleasant comments about Archie's way of responding to queries.

I have a feeling that Archie is hurt due to some member's sharp comments ! And I can fully understand that...it is natural to feel bad specially when you are doing so much for others, whom you don't even know and never will and that too totally FREE.

Girls..remember most of us are in US, where you don't get anything free, and even if you have money, it costs a lot !

Please girls, do not forget that Archie is doing us a favour by responding to our problems. I have read so many posts on this forum where Archie's contribution is amazing !! She has helped us in many ways...she tries her best to give you a ray of hope. Whenever I had any doubt I only thought of Archie and sometimes her responses were so quick that I used to wonder how she manages everything.

Girls...do not forget that she is a full time MOM, a wife and a working woman- inspite of her busy schedule she gives us sufficient time.

DO NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED !

Many of you may feel that she sounds harsh in her messages, but believe me it could be your perspective, your view-point. And my question is, even if you think that she is harsh, then what is the big deal in it ? Aren't our mothers, elder sisters talk to us in the similar tone many times ? Do we feel bad then? I am certain- NO ! And how can you forget her encouraging and positive responses ?

So please consider Archie as one of your dear ones- she is here to help us. In my opinion, she doesn't want to hurt anyone intentionally . Have faith in her.

Archie- the amount of effort you put here is truly commendable.

Please do not stop writing..we do need you.

(AND I AM SORRY IF I HAVE MISINTERPRETED THE SITUATION. I JUST FELT LIKE WRITING...I FELT THAT YOU ARE A LITTLE HURT.)

Regards,
Asha Archie replied. Dear Asha,
I am honored with your words and appreciation.

Yes, you guessed it right that I was hurt, perhaps I should not have but could not help.

I will continue to respond chosen posts, when I think they deserve some help. I will avoid to help on personal anxiety as that has no solution and I can't go sobor to help on such issue as that's my expertise.

Once again thanks.
Archie
