i've got the s... over the fact the chooks were let out at my mums. i said to my bros g.f. yesterday, that i didn't want them let out when they left today cause i wasn't going to be round at dark to lock them away. so what do i find when i go to feed the other animals is chooks out!!!!! i hit the roof over it, my dad said i could leave them in the pen long as they had water and feed. top that off i had a pipe blow out, and water every where. i'll fix it in the morning my dads dog went a hid on me. what a lovely arvo. so do you get annoyed when people don't listen to what you say? and they go and do something else. i know we're all guilty of it at some stage, but it seems to be happening a fair bit to me lately

After teaching for twelve years, I know that there are many people who don't listen. However, when you give instructions, such as your's it asn't right that they don't hear It is very important to listen when the subject is important. No, excuse, I'd say!

I'd say you're right, but in my opinion parents of the younger generation don't have the same amount of time to spend with their children as in the past. This could have something to do with the lack of respect.

you can add in comunication to it all as well (sorry i can't spell at times) so i'm working on getting my bro in trouble with my parents. shouldn't do it but, i had a simular problem with a dam and pipe last time they went away. i do find the younger generation are not as respectful to elders as say people my age are, does that make any sense?

i know how you feel,... try having a teenager! thats challenging! especially when he isnt yours, but is... all i can say is pursist and be kind about it, sometimes people dont realise how much frustration they cause on other people.

i agree, i must have been on boring teenager. my bro is very different to me and isn't as polite, but i said to my mum last night that his g.f. is a lot pushier nature than the lot of us. mum and dad know what happened, but i'm not going to make a mountain out of a mole hill. no point in doing it. thanks for the response.

I detested people who won't listen when I speak and then do something else without giving much attention to what I am saying. I extremely hated these type of people because in order for us to be a good speaker we must first be a good listener. Sometimes I stop talking and avoid that person next time, it is so useless to talk without receiving the same devotion. For me it lacks respect if you won't listen to the person's talking.

i listen and will repeat instructions again to make sure i've got it correct. (my work mate gets a bit annoyed when i ask something again, i also don't always hear what he says correctly) i know it can sound silly doing that way but then i've got it clearer in my head. it was the one time i didn't take my mobile with to my parents that something went wrong. my bro's g.f. didn't listen the other day when i said i'd worm the horses yesterday, so they were all done in one hit and could go from there. she doesn't understand most things we do. my mum lets me have free rein but knows what i'm doing and i tell her. thanks for the response.

poor weasel^-^, a hug! I feel annoyed when people can't catch me espeically when I make a cal. Or they make no response for a favor I ask. Because I can response promptly if they have my word. Anyway, I think your family are just a little bit careless and they don't meant to do it, right? good time!

thankyou for the hug, i'm usually happy to help friends. but do draw the line when they won't help you back, after so long. my bro and g.f. are making themselves unpopular with my mum, for these sorts of reasons.
