And sometimes our love ones deny the real us because maybe it's easier to accept the person they think we are rather than the person we really are. So we all keep playing a ridiculous game until it becomes unbearable.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-22670064082033058362009-02-28T22:29:00.000-07:002009-02-28T22:29:00.000-07:00LOL.

We are all an Eternal work in progress on this issue-LISTENIN, OBSERVING-Caring is what it really is. I love the quote in the front of "Howard's End" the book.

That said, there is one thing that DRIVES ME CRAZY about my husband's mom, and she has no idea, because I don't know how to tell her and not embarrass her. She sucks her teeth EVERY time she eats anything. It especially drives me nuts when we're in the car. I seriously want to throttle someone; it bugs me that much. I'm guessing you didn't mean something so superficial, but your post made me think of it :)Mrs4444https://www.blogger.com/profile/06426176094895489541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-25685976639402708882009-02-27T21:15:00.000-07:002009-02-27T21:15:00.000-07:00I think people just assume that other people know ...I think people just assume that other people know what they want. I, however, don't assume that my husband knows what I want in a gift. He constantly buys me software packages or some type of electronic device. I have actually talked to him about it, but it just doesn't sink in! lolCurlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220141443708065048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-59015928159197885542009-02-27T20:51:00.000-07:002009-02-27T20:51:00.000-07:00I don't think we can lie this one all in his dish-...I don't think we can lie this one all in his dish--if his parents really cared about whether or not he liked his gift of cologne, one would think they would take an experimental sniff once in a while. You know? I think he probably should have spoken up a bit sooner, though. Families!

I am sometimes afraid to tell people --if they gave me perfume--I don't wear perfume. I'd say, Oh Thanks, that is such a nice gift. DUH. Then we keep getting the perfume.....spill it I guess (not the perfume, the info)wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13619293936418976914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-23514383206801901412009-02-27T12:03:00.000-07:002009-02-27T12:03:00.000-07:00Gifts are a hard one.

Seriously, for my birthday, my dad gave me a caulking gun and weather stripping and then made me caulk a leaky window I had. And I kind of love that.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-86084552198059580142009-02-27T07:38:00.000-07:002009-02-27T07:38:00.000-07:00I think sometimes parents don't see what they don'...I think sometimes parents don't see what they don't want to see. From a child's perspective, my Mom has insisted for years I have always liked certain things, but I keep telling her I don't and haven't. I always think...Don't you know me at all?? <BR/>Maybe there are parent blinders. As a parent myself, I am sure I wear mine too. Hopefully I know when to take them off.Midgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898749550024332162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-33912202641209410172009-02-26T23:29:00.000-07:002009-02-26T23:29:00.000-07:00Wow.
