And, speaking of mothers, mine in particular, I learned early on that she had little tact in many of the comments she made. Like Ivory Soap, most of them really were 99% pure, she just did not filter what she said. Because of that, my mantra has never been "if you can't say something nice.. ." but rather "consider the source."<BR/>The friends/family we most love do sometimes say things without thinking them through. Being 25+ years older than all of you, I have made plenty of blunders in my day and don't always realize the full extent of my words until well after I have said them.<BR/><BR/> But, before I go on much longer, the people you value most in your life occasionally screw up - try not to take it too personally. For some other people whom you know that intentionally make bitchy comments, it's your prerogative whether or not to send one back.blogmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16450156132993396679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231669418519694533.post-86332316343374500082009-03-09T09:30:00.000-04:002009-03-09T09:30:00.000-04:00Sandcastle -- ouch.

If its a friend,...It depends on who the person is. If its a friend, I will be as bitchy and sarcastic as I want... and usually we just laugh about it afterwards.<BR/><BR/>If its a stranger or a co-worker or boss or someone I just don't know well, I try to squelch the bitchy. I either come up with something witty enough to shut them up without sounding mean or I just go with the "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" rule.<BR/><BR/>I figure this, all my cousins got married in their early to mid-30s. They found amazing spouses and now are having amazing children.

I look at it like this, yes, my mother always said if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, but she also taught me not to ask people rude questions. Such as, "So when are you going to settle down and get married?" or after a couple does get married, then it's "So, when are you two going to have a baby?" If you think it's okay to ask me a question that is not only inappropriate, but none of your business, then I think it's only fair that I get to give a sarcastic and bitchy response.Medicated and Motivatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10766746698123841237noreply@blogger.com
