Ya know, instead of getting defensive every time someone comments on your posts, why don't you consider the way you say things and be more thoughtful when you respond to people? I myself have struggled with it and have attempted to change the way I say things so that people hear what I mean instead of what THEY read it to mean because I said it "wrong"
If you post more clearly EXACTLY what you mean, it wouldn't be misconstrued. Although, I do believe that most of your first responses ARE what you mean and then you feel the need to back track and defend yourself, even when you are wrong.
sometimes I agree with you Crystal and sometimes I don't. but......you do come across as jumping on people a lot. Sorry- maybe you could play a little nicer too
but.... I see that you are trying
sorry I guess I just felt for Mac60 who I understood what she was trying to do with the blanket. Common sense told me she is a caring provider suggesting a solution to what works for her and not abusing it to the extreme. She is trying to teach the child that if you break my toys, these are the toys that you are going to be allowed to play with. Not a life threatening consequence.
