Be nice
|
Be nice I've noticed that someone is picking on a certain blogger here. Whomever it is keeps hitting the disagree button on most everything she comments on. I'm pretty sure she could say that the sky is blue and grass is green and that darned disagree button would be pushed. Seems pretty childish and stupid to me. I write here to have a good time and to interact with adults, something that isn't always easy for me while surrounded by midgets. I enjoy writing, reading, commenting and getting comments. That kind of negativity really spoils my mood and makes me realize why I'm so jaded to begin with. Lots of people suck. Lots of people are assholes. Lots of people get off on making others miserable. I have no tolerance for it. *Deep breath* I've been trying to teach my to be kind to one another. 4 girls, yeah, there gets to be some drama. The two oldest fight and bicker a lot. Lately it's been about puberty and who will get the bigger boobs.  The oldest, 12 is afraid she will take after her birth mother in that department and the 9 year old is playing up on those fears pretty good. Meanwhile the 9 year old got her first pimple and so was all proud and showing it off that she's gonna go into puberty too. (I went early myself...Ugh!) So between discussions about pubic hair, growing breasts, periods, pimples and everything else you can think of, it's been interesting and hormonally charged around here. Then there are the two youngest. There is a hierarchy that I've been trying to stomp on from day one to no avail. The older one always picks on the one just one step younger than herself. So as you can imagine the baby gets the brunt of it from the 3 year old. She loves her sister, as they all really do, but is having a hard time getting the concept that her little sister is a living breathing real person with feelings that can and does get hurt when she's less than gentle with her. Yesterday was no exception. When I was getting the rest of the baby stuff cleared out of my dining room I heard an awful scream coming from the next room where they were watching a Dora video together. I went to investigate and my precious 3 year old says to me, "I didn't kick her mommy." Of course I know that this is code for "Shit, I got caught kicking her. How do I get out of trouble?" So I explain to her as I comfort the wee one that you don't kick your sister. She then looks at me with big eyes and asks me, "Who can I kick then?" I think I need to work on this some more... So, think we adults can all get along? I really hope so.   |

Simple solution is if you know who it is, ban them, no exceptions. Works for me, and I won't tolerate anything like that. The alternative is to not use the voting system for comments. I don't have it on my blog (in fact I'm not sure how to implement it). I completely agree on the "Lots of people...." comments too. The alternative is also true though. People are capable of being really nice too, when given a chance and the benefit of the doubt. Of course, working out who that is is a job in itself. My solution? Hug everyone!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!

I was very insecure as a child. I once asked my mother if my father loved me. She said, "Of course daddy loves you, darling. He's on Prozac - he loves everyone."

You know, it never really occurred to me that people would misuse the voting thing, and honestly I never even thought much about having them there. I didn't look for the option, I just never shut it off I guess. I have no issues with someone genuinely having a difference of opinion on a particular statement, it's just when someone is acting so childishly it called it to my attention, not only on my own blog, but on others as well. It's not as if I'm writing about really controversial stuff I don't think.

I've "met" some very nice people here in blogland and I'm very happy and grateful for that. Hugs back to you!

You have no idea how hard I had to bite my tongue to NOT say that!

I suppose so, I just never thought about it before. Not writing about controversial stuff really I didn't expect to see this kind of idiocy. That'll teach me. Really though, turning it off lets the jerk win don't you think? I'm just asking for some maturity here. I know, I expect a lot.

I just didn't expect to see it here in my quiet little corner.

I know what you mean. It's just ridiculous really and I can't get the concept of why an adult would behave this way.  Then again...I know some pretty messed up "adults".

LOL I wondered if anyone would think that. And I agree with the rest of your comment too. There is enough stress and frustration in everyday "normal" life, I don't want to see any of it here. This is my happy place to converse with nice people and to share bits of our lives and minds with each other. I have no need for drama and won't tolerate it.

I'll kick all their asses Now where do I vote for my amendment?

I just never changed it when I was futzing around with the other features. I didn't realize that it'd ever be an issue.

Peer pressure, I love the idea. I didn't ever really think about it until I saw the silliness. Shows how much attention I paid to it as well eh?Yep, it is my blog, so I guess I'll keep it on. Otherwise the ass(es) win. I'm all about not letting the jerks dictate my behavior. I wasn't looking for the encouragement, but I always appreciate it. Don't worry, I love ya, and I'm sure you'll get more watchers too.

You will always have to put up with immaturity. Most people grow out of it at some stage. Some just take a bit longer than others. And it wasn't me that pushed the disagree button on this post. Honest! *fingers crossed*

Been there! We raised five girls and for a guy who grew up with five brothers it was quite an experience...believe me! Hang in there....as bad as it seemed sometimes while they were growing up....it's amazing and satisfying to see how close they all are now....and we all have some wonderful times together!

Well that, and that they're stuck together because you can't pick your family.

Yeah, they've done some doozies themselves. Luckily I have mommy radar that can pick up on most of the BS even from the bigger ones that have more experience lying with a straight face. To quote a friend of mine, "Of course they're liars, got tit's don't they?"

Honest! *fingers crossed* I dunno about the outgrowing it. I work at a nursing home, and have I got stories. It's better to be a smartass than a dumbass.
