Good lord. <br /><br />And though I am not a parent, I have been a teacher/nanny of young children for over a decade and I know damn well that making assumptions and veiled accusations about people's parenting methods is inappropriate and unnecessary. <br />Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18423249170976275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-19468354641782462052017-01-06T05:51:00.628+02:002017-01-06T05:51:00.628+02:00Comparing my patients to my children is stupid, an...Comparing my patients to my children is stupid, and expecting me to treat them the same is stupid. I take great offence to your tone. You have no idea how I treat my children, nor how much I love them. And I strongly object to your implication that I think my children are beneath me or that I somehow don't respect them, because nothing is further from the truth. How dare you.

...Yelling is the new hitting, as I've heard it<br /><br />I find the most important thing is to respect children as you would adults or dare I say patients. It's easy to yell at people you think are beneath you, or otherwise not deserving of respect. You think lots of your patients are dumb and they do things much worse like drunk driving, but I bet you don't yell at them.

It doesn't solve the problem, and it doesn't help produce a solution, it just annoys everyone around me.<br /><br />Well, can't say that's the only resolution, but I feel it's the only one that's going to stay for very long. I've got annoying neighbors, and it's all too tempting to let off an earth-shattering belch at oh-dark-thirty because someone's had their rap music on at wtf-o-clock. So my resolution to not do any more loud and obnoxious belches was broken exactly 2 minutes after January 2.Dakalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05312490840168804147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1809371631407381115.post-36646730104203670922017-01-04T17:37:22.943+02:002017-01-04T17:37:22.943+02:00This is one of mine, too!
