My 17 year old son is weary of my "take responisbility for your own actions and life" speech, but I think it's important enough to keep repeating.Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14912557024328760214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-87325146444378281082010-05-11T16:35:13.554-07:002010-05-11T16:35:13.554-07:00You tell 'em sister!!!

Not only do they know what I'm going to say before I say it, they know what's best for me and how I should react in any situation. Nevermind that they are alcoholics who can't get their own lives together.<br />I agree with Carole~let the answering machine deal with them and get back to them when and if you choose to.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03327867239590918579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-82459915496017729082010-05-10T17:50:53.645-07:002010-05-10T17:50:53.645-07:00F 'em!

Hopefully, the horse killer will. I hate to think too many of us have that on our list of misdeeds! Why worry with the whiners when you have friends who like the same things you like, can at least listen to your opinions without lecturing you (even though I can't think of anything you've said that I disagree with...I do love a liberal!), and won't leave you emotionally drained at the end of the day. <br /><br />Now, take your big-ass balls and have a glass of wine!<br />AnnaChickens in the Basementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715138502582651998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-48574375532771139122010-05-10T14:43:04.534-07:002010-05-10T14:43:04.534-07:00Those people sound like jerks.

I tell my students (and they're only 3-4 years old) that "You're not whiners, you're winners!" And "You are the one responsible for change." I don't want them growing up believing their lives are the fault of someone else. So, go ahead and vent to us, we are your cyber shoulder to cry on, and sometimes you have to get it off your chest and have your say or you'll go crazy(ier)!

If there's one type of person I can't stand, it's the ones that don't take the blame or responsibility for their troubles. And are surprised that there are consequences.

I've never regretted it.<br /><br />Where family is concerned it's harder (especially inlaw family). That door can't really be closed all the way, but in those circumstances you can make yourself unavailable for abuse. That's what I've done, and it's worked out pretty well.<br /><br />Our newest peeve is the people who get angry because we don't 'answer our phone'. Well, a lot of the time we're not home, and when we are, we screen. Sorry, but we're not slaves to the fricking phone and we don't have to answer if we don't want to (and maybe we don't want to talk to you to begin with). That's why they invented answering machines. <i>Our</i> choice. <br /><br />We're not the types that have to have a phone stuck to our ear at all hours of the day. Never have been. We have lives.<br /><br />Sorry, got off on my own little rant there. lol<br /><br />I do understand where you're coming from!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07861306348634106983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1593180163168779558.post-12720238005862241062010-05-10T10:57:06.760-07:002010-05-10T10:57:06.760-07:00They are emotional vampires lol...
