Once you become a Mom or...I am so with you on this.<br />Once you become a Mom or even pregnant EVERYONE wants to tell you how to and how not to be pregnant or how to and how not to raise you kids.<br />My daughters godmother (who is an RN and works in the maternity section) recently told me that she loved me because she can call me for breastfeeding questions, but she knows that I won't judge a Mom who opts to formula feed instead. <br />I feel like the most laid back person when it comes to politics and other such topics. I have my opinion, you have yours, I'll answer all the questions you have about my views and I'll listen to yours, but that doesn't mean what works for you will work for me. <br />I wish more people could understand that.<br />Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />BizBizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943895252835669237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029282505333010164.post-78289897784079959482012-05-25T17:03:32.863-04:002012-05-25T17:03:32.863-04:00This has been a pet peeve of mine for years now.. ...This has been a pet peeve of mine for years now.. it's EVERYWHERE!!! I've never understood what's so hard about "agreeing to disagree", I've gotten to where I avoid many topics that seem to turn toxic nowadays easily.. and they shouldn't.. People no longer have a filter on what's appropriate communication and what's polite conversation.. I mean I have had experiences with CHILDREN who are so disrespectful to their elders it blows me away.. where do they learn that this is acceptable behavior. The generations growing up now will continue to mimick the behavior they see and hear. It's like I mentioned to an acquaintance the other day, I was at a function and this woman next to me went off like a truck driver cursing about what she disliked about the function.... don't get me wrong, I'm no prude, but why would she assume her foul language wouldn't bother me? Why would she assume I talk that way too, therefore her foul mouth was okay ? It's in every area of life it seems, from customer service, friends, acquaintances to family... It's time we get back to manners, and polite kind caring conversations... what happened to "if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say anything at all"? <br />Okay thanks for letting me vent!

I agree with a lot of what you say, Tara. What I don't like also is when people feel they have the right to be mean to other people because they have a particular religious value and use it as their podium to drum up support for their cause against the other people/person. I consider myself a deeply faithful person, but I have absolutely NO tolerance for this kind of behavior toward somebody. <br /><br />My husband and I encountered an unnecessary case of mean the other night while taking our daughter to her musical performance at a local city theater. We were unfamiliar with the organization's policy on where the performers go, and when we attempted to assist our daughter we were met with a security guard who knocked on his glass wall and screamed, "HEY! HEY! Get away from there! You're not allowed to go back there!" My husband turned around and said, "We have never been here before. Can you please be nice to us?" and the security guard continued his rant. It was ridiculous. Unfortunately, I put most of the blame on the organization for whom our daughter performs. Their communication with first-time parents of kids in the teenagers' groups is woefully lacking and has caused us more frustration this entire year than any other performing arts group in which she has participated her entire life.<br /><br />You are right to ask yourself when faced with an opposing "force", "Would I do this to YOU??" That is always my go-to guide when I'm in the same situation. I also try to do my BEST to keep the other person from having to ask him/herself that about ME, too!!!!IS Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07988469413591922301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029282505333010164.post-45821223155374704612012-05-25T09:41:56.105-04:002012-05-25T09:41:56.105-04:00I think people lack common sense when it comes to ...I think people lack common sense when it comes to talking to their friends. They think their friend will 'understand'. I can't tell you how many people have asked me, in front of my fourth and youngest child, if he was a "happy little accident". He wasn't, but even if he had been, why would you say that, let alone where he can hear?! But because they're my friends, there's no sensor button. I like discussions about politics to see where other people are coming from - to get both view points. I don't like when it turns into a debate because the other person refuses to accept that my views are different. I just don't engage anymore. I just smile and change the subject.Mrs Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775681174752338068noreply@blogger.com
