[quote=Anonymous]9:21 again.  I'm just comparing my last paragraph ...
[quote]My whole problem with most of the complaints here is that they're based on [i]posters making assumptions about what other parents are secretly thinking[/i]. In my experience, [i]most people (including me) are terrible at intuiting what other people are thinking or what motivates other people's actions[/i]. [/quote]
... against your first paragraph ... 
[quote]I would say that [i]you either aren't very perceptive to very subtle interactions and emotions[/i] (some people aren't and do miss these kind of things) or you were lucky to never be on the receiving end of such behavior.[/quote]
... and realizing that difference in viewpoint is probably the crux of our disagreement here.  You think I'm not sensitive enough to perceive the social slights going on around me, and I think you're so overly sensitive that you're often perceiving slights where none exist.  Maybe people are secretly shunning me and my child all the time, and I'm just too stupid to realize it.  Or maybe you're imagining all sorts of drama.  I doubt we're ever agree on which of us has a better view on reality.

Maybe we each can discuss it with a close friend or therapist.  Good day.[/quote]
