It's called "not suffering fools gladly". I'm on medication for it. Anger Management classes were ineffective. |
Which medication? I think I need some. |
You sound like a fucking moron. Can you even read? --not OP. |
This is exactly why signing in is such bullshit. No doubt OP has been posting anonymously on her behalf all over DCUM. Since this is clearly OP, I'll respond to her directly: it's your job to be here for your child and that includes comforting them when they break a bone. You can ALSO think and say, "Now you know why I kept telling you to stop sliding down the banister!" and come up with some consequences other than the broken bone, like losing TV, for doing something she was told not to do so many times. It's foolish to expect her to say "You're right and I see that now. I take responsibility for my actions and will suffer the consequences of a broken bone that I brought on myself." Absurd expectations of an 8 year old. You sound like you are talking about an adult caught cheating on their taxes and complaining about fines involved instead of taking responsibility for their actions.. Withholding your sympathy and comfort is terrible and it seems like you are doing it to punish her. The ladder thing with your MIL -- she stepped off the bottom rung of the ladder and got hurt, which is unexpected for someone of any age. It's not like she fell asleep and rolled off the roof because she was an old lady. I agree you sound cold. Maybe it's because you didn't get much sympathy when you were a kid yourself. It's not too late to be a better person. |
Since OP has already responded on this thread anonymously, I doubt the "not OP" sign off means much to anyone. Doesn't to me, anyway. Hi, OP! |
That doesn't matter. Why was she on DCUM posting anonymously? If people pick and choose when to sign in or post anonymously it makes the whole sign-in moniker a joke. |
Empathy is something too many people are lacking. It states volumes about who they are as a person. |
