Look at Road Rage and every other type of rage in Society! <br /><br />I think we all just really need to take a chill pill (aka being more forgiving) and try to understand that not everyone is out to get us! <br /><br />Saying that..... Just know that I am not perfected in this at all! Road rage use to be my middle name! and I always got just way too offended when anybody said anything to me Constructive or non-constructive... Ironic..because I will straight up tell people what is wrong with them! even when i shouldnt! <br /><br />My husband has a line that he uses on me sometimes... <br />"Gee, dont you have a great perception for the obvious?" <br /><br />thats usually me cue to Zip the lips and let him do what he's going to do!The Songerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032936526452890088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-39114620682674848782009-07-14T15:07:14.482-06:002009-07-14T15:07:14.482-06:00So true.

Just try and get a few parents in a room and bring up - homeschooling vs. public schools, or immunizations, or dating ages! LOL. Everyone will spout their opinions and state why they are right. <br /><br />And then some have no opinions of their own, except what they are told how it should be. (extended family, church, etc)So that is the way it is.<br /><br />I am all for talking about parenting. I have been known to state my opinion as well as change it if I see another valid point I had not concidered before. BUt then I can talk about anything... you guys know that! ;o)Misstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677390785575744116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-17675784507304413322009-07-14T13:19:39.263-06:002009-07-14T13:19:39.263-06:00I think its definitely how u approach the other pa...I think its definitely how u approach the other parent for sure! Like when u tentatively approach ur spouse... U OREO cookie it... U mention a positive then throw in ur advice then end with another positive... They will b more receptive, my personal opinion anyway.Shelle-BlokThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118555873275829720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251212850644469714.post-91935887821572005182009-07-14T12:55:31.986-06:002009-07-14T12:55:31.986-06:00But I think that's the thing...constructive cr...But I think that's the thing...constructive criticism can sound like an attack.

I don't mind advice. None of us know what we r doing so it makes since that the more scenarios or advice we get the better decision we can make for our child.<br /><br />But its funny cause most of us get offended because we aren't open period. That seems to be the problem with any relationship and the communication.<br /><br />We have our ways of doing things and leave ourselves closed off... The problem with that is we also close ourselves off to growth and maybe even a more efficient way of doing things! :)<br /><br />Don't tell my husband I said that!Shelle-BlokThoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118555873275829720noreply@blogger.com
