Just an observation....

Things got a little heated between Nise & Hopeful the other day and I see Biomom & Step Mom are going back & forth at each other a little....

It kind of saddens me.....

I know we all have different personalities, different backgrounds, different dynamics in our situations and especially have different opinions on things.

And I know this time of year can put everyone on edge..theres so much to do, so much money & time to go around...and we ALL bring the added stress of making it all happen in a blended family.

I been on this site long enough to know that Nise, Hopeful, Biomom & Step Mom are ALL great people who are hear to better themselves...improve their lives & that of their families. They offer thier advice and opinions to help us all by sharing their perspectives & advice.

Don't loose site of that girls.....

It just seems that everyone is getting a little cranky & snappy over 'wording' or 'phrasing'.....or 'ideals'.. you know what I mean?

Have a Merry Christmas!!

I think you are right I know there is a lady named Terry on here and awhile back my opinion got the best of me and I ripped her.. And I should have been a lot nicer.. So I should probably say sorry to her.. I was just having a day of complete my feelings and honesty.. I am a blunt person and when I am in that mood my opinion is really to blunt at times...

I've been reading alot of posts anonymously and finally decided to put my two cents in- careful, may be treading on un chartered waters.

What I have noticed is that some people get upset at someone else's post, find it a bit threatening to themselves somehow, so alot of people start getting defensive over someone else. And then I've also seen the opposite is true. People come here, speak their mind, and then get threatened by someone else because they dared to speak their mind.

It's only human. Women do get caddy with each other too. I am a blunt person, and often have offended many people from time to time, so I try to keep an open mind about things. I would hope others would do the same with me.

Why can't we just respectfully disagree with each other? When did all this mudslinging and bickering start? I really don't like it and it takes away from the meaning of the site.

*~So sayeth Nymh~*

I'll be honest... I'm a little afraid to post now, and probably won't do much anymore. I really came here to vent my feelings, prespective, and read others experiences, offer any advice or ideas that I may have. To share- even if it's on a whim of emotion of time.

It's true, yes, you are right idiosyncrasy, I felt threatened and got defensive. I felt I wasn't heard. Oh well. I'll move on.

I guess, we all go through a learning curve on this site, don't we? So, with that, I'm sorry ladies you had to read my spat, I should of just let it go and not bothered to say anything. Since then, I have learned...

I think that everyone here means well. I really do enjoy the different perspectives too. There are a lot of GREAT people here.
