well, as some of you may know, my mom is a foster mother and she is looking after 3 boys now, aged 12, 3 and 4 and the thing is, i feel that sometimes we are so obsessed on having a good time that we do not really care about their feelings. such as a few days ago. we went to have dinner together and with my sis's bf. and they, my sisters and the bf, were all taking pictures of my brother. without his permission. and when he tried to do the same, they got really pissed. so i was thinking, do you have this events when you are so familar with each other that you neglect to take care of how someone may feel?

Well, I guess when you live together long enough, you tend to take the other people in your family for granted at times. It is very natural. And it happens from time to time. Just make them aware (your sis and her boyfriend) after they cool off. Then maybe get her to apologize to your brother.

I am sure he will. There is no overnight grudges between family! If everyone were to hold a grudge every time there is an argument, there will be no more harmony within the family. Not the way to go for a healthy family. Talk to him if you think he is still nursing a grudge.

Appropriate care for the family's feelings is necessary, of course, we can have our insistence, only that you should learn how to choice! But since we are a family, it is necessary to spend some thought to operate it, including taking into account their feelings!

Dear friend, I do still take care of my family members feelings and also they too consider my feelings even though I try not to hurt them by not revealing those unwanted negative feelings in me. I also try my best to solve those feelings more positively and also try to give more happy life to my family from my side.
