Do you have anyone in your family that you have to choose your words carefully w

Ummm....you mean thats not NORMAL???? LOL....honestly you are describing my ENTIRE family!!! My mother ( the wicked witch of the west) is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE.... I dont talk to her at all anymore......but when i was on speaking terms with her I would go out of my way to have very superficial conversations with her and if anything important was discussed i would tell her anything but reality because she twists everything into something else...i can have the simplest convo with her...think nothing of it and sometime later find out all kinds of wierd stuff was concocted on the basis of that convo....but its a moot point now as i dont think i will ever speak to her again! My sister has absolutely hated me since the day i was born for the reason that i was born! lol...strange i know but its true...so she has not spoken to me in over 25 years....she claims i am not her sister because we have different fathers....we have the SAME mother though so in my book that makes us kin....but whatever...she was never a sister to me anyway so... My brother and I just recently got back in touch with each other and it is very much that way with him....partly because im not sure wether i can really trust him and i dont want personal details about my life getting back to my mother and partly because he is very touchy...so i am VERY careful what i talk to him about...i often stop myself midsentence with him ... as for the situation with your daughter we have a daughter who is blind and has seizures...she is 24 now and lives in an assisted care facility but when she was small and lived with us yes we had to keep her calm cause stress can cause a seizure.....i remember one time the school bus came before she was done with her ceral and her sisters dumped the cereal in the sink and ran for the bus and all hell broke lose because she wanted to finish that cereal...lol Its really hard to avoid all stress..especially for kids because things change and they dont understand that...I wish i knew some tricks that would help you but i dont.....i remember it being really hard to calm her down sometimes but i dont remember exactly what we did at the time...

I would have to say my father. Not about every topic, but i am VERY careful to not aloow politics to even pop its head into ANY conversation he and i have. He and i have very differing political views. He is a very conservative repiblican, and i, well, i am by no means an extreme liberal democrat, but i lean enough the otherway that any discussion on politics can wind up being disaterous bewtween the two of us! It doesn't help that i inheirited my stubborness and need to prove my self right from him!

hi babyangie we used to have to tiptoe around my dad' when he was in a mood as he would explode over every' little thing. He hated seeds in his grapefruit, he 'hated finding a bone in his fish, he had to have his oatmeal really gooey and well the list went on and on'and I and my mom were the ones to be peace keepers. otherwise he would yell and scream like a two year old.now looking back I think he'was bi polAr and his ups and downs just were so frightening and'we didn't know then about bi polar. ] with a child I think you have to distract her or him. I know I had to with my brain damaged little girl so she wouldnt cry'and'scream.

I think we must honour our olders. No matter it's our parents, uncles, aunties, etc we must use proper words when talking with them. Actually it's not only limited to them. Being a polite person is however a good thing and could be a good habit. Using good words sometimes can changing a bad situation. Especially if it's regarding to feelings matter, good words can possibly make someone brave and strong after hearing that words. So, no matter who are you talking with, try to always using good words and keep it as a good habit. It will also make other to respecting us more than ever. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

yup to a lot of questions about my family the answer seems to be my father... it seems like my world of misery is the earth and my father is the sun around which my misery revolves... i dont share any particularly fun relationship with him and whatever fun there was has been done to nothing by his constant insecurities about his sons.... he is so protective and suspicious of each of my moves that i have to tell him clearly ehat i am going to do and hoe i am going to do it in order to deny the luxury of imagination for him which has made my life hell from the time i was twelve.... what will a twelve year old do in his friends place who has got a computer? play games... what else is there to do.... but i would not want to delve into my fathers mind to find out the thoughts that went through about my stay there..it is no fun measuring my steps and taking them even in my own backyard

The only person I can really think of would be my father. We are very much alike, both ready to fight and explode easily. I dont think we've had a conversation where I didnt first think very carefully about what Im about to say to him. If he is in a bad mood or in a fighting mood then no matter what I say he will jump me with accusations and frustrating questions. Unfortunately for him there are so many things that he doesnt know about me because I fear that they may start a fight...nothing I say is right with him.

I used with the Ex Husband you never knew when he was going to blow so I used to be on edge all the time As for Children lol, my Daughter used to be like that sometimes and all I did is sat her on my Lap and just hug her and that used to work

Angie, That must be extremely difficult. My only suggestion is one you probably try to use already but I would not tell her anything until the last minute when it is for sure and no chance of changing. That is probably difficult too but anything to keep her from becoming disappointed and having a seizure. What disabilities does she have? Are you talking Epilepsy? I wish I could think of something else to help. Hugssss to you and your Daughter. Leenie

Family is a place where we can release ourselves, but it doesn’t mean we can say anything inside the roof. When I talk with my father, I’m always very careful. I think because of the age gap we have many things in different. And he’s becoming more sensitive as he’s getting older. If I don’t pay attention or just say straightforward what I want to say, sometimes it would be a insult to him. However I have no problem with my mother and she also can tell me some thing about my father.

Hi babyangie, I have two kids, 10 and 6, both boys. Saying bad words is a no-no, wherever they are and in whatever situation they may be in. I believe in the saying "lead by example" so as much as possible I don't utter words that may sound bad to them, lest they imitate it. It's hard, there was a time when I was driving them to school and some speeding vehicle cut in my way, and I almost bump into it. I really got pissed off, and had almost cursed the other driver. But I knew my kids were with me so I had to stop myself from blurting it out, and just concentrated on the road.

yeah.............my dad (eversince he had been a difficult person) and my brother (he took after dad) ...oh boy.......it's so hard to live with them when I was growing up......... i had to choose my words carefully so I don't get in trouble....... but now I'm grown up...I can say anything to them......... and I don't have to be afraid anymore.. we're all grown ups and I had realized that we sould say exactly how we feel and not keep it inside.......

There's someone in my family that I have to choose my words carefully before talking, that would be my father. He's a serious type of man, not sure if he'll laugh at my jokes or agree in whatever I'll say. When I was growing up, he was always away working in another country. That's why I'm not really comfortable talking to him.
