[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So stop participating. You know the drill. [/quote]

I could, but I have a stake in this project. I could either:
(A) never offer my opinion or take on things, which have a 100% track record at this point, and sit back offering no insight on steering us in the right direction 
(B) offer up my suggestions, but be constantly dismissed or suggested later by someone else--where then it's suddenly a good idea

At least by participating, I have the confidence of knowing I'm right. But being the youngest... you can't win. You just can't.

I'm sure my sister would say the same thing.  She thinks she's always right too . . . even when she isn't.  [/quote]

Ditto for my brother (middle child). And when you provide an alternative suggestion, holy hell do they get defensive and angry. And then when they're wrong, and they try the 4th suggestion (that you first suggested), which ends up being the right one... it's silence. Yeah bro, your 4th idea was right. But it was my 1st. Rinse, repeat. One of these days I'm not going to be able to bite my tongue on "I told you so."[/quote]
