Why can't "some" people,

Accept people,for who they are,and not how they want them to be?
does anyone understand what i mean?.....i had this discussion with my son,..he doesn't tread on eggshells around me,..neither does his girlfriend.

Re: Why can't "some" people,

Some parents can be like that with their offspring, wanting to live their lives through their children. I'd hope the children would break out & be themselves, but I guess in some cicumstances the child defers to the parent.

Re: Why can't "some" people,

That is so true Tiffany,my parents did that to me,..i had to be how they wanted me to be,only i didn't realise it at the time,.talk about conditioning, ..anyway i am over that now,and found me,..

Re: Why can't "some" people,

Why can't some people even attempt to put a decent thread title up?

Re: Why can't "some" people,

Glad you've found you.
My parents were never like that to me or my brother, they let us do our own thing & learn from our own mistakes.

Re: Why can't "some" people,

So are you saying you like people who tell it like it is? (as the expression goes), you like blunt speaking?

Didn't we have a thread about that?

Pauline would you say we shouldn't be afraid of upsetting others?

Re: Why can't "some" people,

It getting that happy medium, sometimes straight talking can upset someone or come over as rude.

Re: Why can't "some" people,

Some people go out of their way to upset. Some things are better left unsaid. Only yesterday my friend was telling me how a woman at her work is always telling folk that they have put weight on. Like they don't already know!! How rude

Re: Why can't "some" people,

No,I'm not saying any of that,if you read Tiffany reply,you may get a better understanding, ...it's about people moulding you,to be how they want you to be,to suit their needs,sorry i didn't make myself clear.

Re: Why can't "some" people,

I thought it was perfectly clear what you said in your thread.
