Addressing the Family......(VENT ALERT)

i want them to have advice. the meaning of advice according to the dictionary is 'recommendation regarding a decision or course of conduct'. it says nothing about molly coddling or blindly agreeing with people. if someone came on here and said the sky is green, are we supposed to agree with them so we dont hurt their feelings? OP asks how she should go about the matter. i give an opinion which does not support her wasteful crusade of 'attacking' her extended family. she doesnt like it and has a big cry so now im considered "rude hurtful wah wah". if people just want others to agree with them then why bother asking for opinions in the first place?

i am well aware that this is the family section. the significance being? are we supposed to be less opinionated in this section? is reality forbidden? or maybe you are implying i shouldnt be here because im not a parent? last i checked there were no rules for either of those things.

kylie calm down<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> i just think it is a tragedy when someone feels the need to leave the forum. it is for everyone and we do not all have "balls of steel "

to be truthful , when have you ever had a parent go to the adult section and attack someone over there? i've never seen it .

i don't mean any offence ( honest <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">) but you do seem to be more aggressively opinionated lately . is there a reason? pm me if you like. janet<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Ok, I'll throw myself under the bus...

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>to be truthful , when have you ever had a parent go to the adult section and attack someone over there? i've never seen it . </end quote></div>

I've done it and so have plenty of others.

If you post something in a public forum then you are subject to public interpretation and public opinion. I personally disagree with Kylie's opinion on this topic but I do support her right to share her opinion. The cost of free speech is that we have to tolerate opinions we don't agree with.

I know many on here (especially in the families section) only want "support" but really this board is so much more than that. What a boring forum this would be if we all just sat around telling each other how justified we are in everything we do or say.

People need to learn to value differing opinions. It is in those differing opinions that you have the most to gain/learn.

janet, i have always been opinionated. you probably havent noticed because you have only joined up in the past year. thankyou for yet another innacurate psychoanalysis.

thankyou claudette. people seem to forget that this is a PUBLIC forum and when a question is asked they will get all kinds of answers. if people are going to get huffy and leave because they havent heard what they want to hear then there isnt much people can do to stop them. thats an issue they need to sort out themselves.

i don't agree that because this is a public forum ANYONE has the right to be aggressive , rude and disrespectful. this happens far to often around here.

kylie , in real life do you always jump in with both feet EVERY time somebody says something you don't agree with? do you ever turn the other cheek? maybe you should learn which battles are worth fighting and which are not.

none of the males on this forum upset anyone . i'm not sure what that tells us!!!!!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

its my opinion that too many loudmouths are frightening away mothers who need help and understanding. what good advice and help they get is tempered by having to wade through vitriol ( i'll save you the trouble of looking vitriol up in ths dictionary. vitriol;caustic or hostile speech,criticism,or feeling )

if you think i have been aggressive, rude and disrespectful because i simply disagree with OP's view on this then big woop. if i 'jump in with both feet' as you say i supposedly do i would be arguing with every single person on this thread but i am not. they are allowed their opinion, just as I AM! as for your questions, or should i say ridiculous assumptions, you could probably apply these to the OP too, or even yourself. or do these questions just apply to me because you have a problem with my opinion. or is it because i am one of the 'longstanding outspoken crowd' on here? makes me wonder. there seems to be a handful of people on the forum who continually get picked to pieces by people like yourself as soon as they say boo. too bad if they make a valid point. as for males not upsetting anyone you have got to be kidding me. im not going to name drop as it would be unfair, but boy are you wrong on that one. 'loudmouths' as you put it are not frightening mothers away. i have not seen anyone get 'frightened' away. i have only seen people leave because they dont hear exactly what they want to hear, only to see them come back anyway.

you know what, in future maybe i should just make up a standard reply for everyone who comes on this forum. it will read "oh you are so right. i agree with you 100%. you go girl". im done with this thread. its just going around in circles.

1) There aren't as many males here on this forum.

2) I suggest you go back and do a little research. SeanDavis, Ender, Luke are just a few that don't mind sharing their often controversial opinions.

Talk about insulting not to mention passive aggressive.
