How Do You Delete Question

I read your question a couple of hours ago (before you deleted it), and I've been thinking about it. It bothers be that your childcare provider would think that your son is doing anything that isn't completely age appropriate. I wonder if your provider lacks knowledge of age appropriate expectations.

Our youngest began going to a daycare center (not in-home care) when he was 2 1/2. They have children in different rooms according to age, so all the toys are very age appropriate. Another definite advantage is that if a teacher has to call in sick, there will be a sub or the director will step in. You will not get a phone call saying that childcare is not available that day.

Two year olds don't play with other kids. They just don't. If anything, they play near other kids. I don't think your provider knows what is appropriate for 2 year olds.

You don't.
That is one thing that drives me nuts is when people post on here and then delete everything on it especially after people have taken the time to give advice. One thing to remember when posting something on here is you will get many different opinions. Some you may not agree with and some may be very harsh. That's what you get when you post on a public forum. Everyone is not always going to agree. I have not always liked answers I have gotten on stuff I post. (Not just one here but other places) That doesn't mean I go delete it because people don't agree with what I think or don't give me the answers I want to hear. What I try to do is read all responses, if I don't like one I read it and move on. If I think it has something that could be helpful I try to use it.

I don't think you can. You can edit it so all the details are removed, but the post still occupies a space on the site. We see that all the time when someone doesn't like the advice she got and just leaves something that says "deleted" or some sort of "xxyssz" gibberish. That just annoys members who have taken the time to answer though, so any future posts are taken less seriously by members.

You can write to the moderators but I don't know if they remove stuff just because someone changed her mind. If you have posted something twice (which happens a lot when the site is slow to upload and the poster clicks "post" a second or third time), the moderator can remove it (I sometimes "report" those even though there's nothing objectionable about it - it just helps to have all the responses on one thread.

Finally, you can delete your account.

I don't think you can.

It kind of makes one think twice about the 'put something on the internet and it's out there forever' thing doesn't it.

If you sense that someone might flounce, you can copy the question into response posts and then it can't be altered or deleted by the original question poster.

YOU cannot delete a question you asked, you can "report" to the moderator and tell them you want it deleted.
