over stressed on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

This will sound really immature 'Superman' (no immaturity living out that fantasy now eh?) but I'm hoping she aims that whoopASS your way.. and blows you out of this thread!

I never told anyone how to live thier life. I offered some serious advice to someone who seemed to be asking anyone for some advice. I said it would be taken the wrong way, I knew it before I sent it. Everyone just needs to RELAX!!! It is tough times for everyone right now, we all need some help and advice. I was not being critical of anyone. I think my advice was better than suggesting violence.

If you knew it was wrong and would be taken the wrong way BEFORE you sent it, why did you then?? just wonderin'.

the whoopASS..was a joke Superman. Does whoopASS truly exist? really?

I should have consulted everyone about using the name "Superman". Please accept my sincere apologies "stayathomemommy".

Does Superman really exist either?

Superman,

Don't worry I have been on and off peoples sh!t lists for most of my life. I say innocently that people take wrong all the time. Personally I say, they will either get over it or they won't..Either way not going to affect my life.

i didnt ask for advice on this thread . and superman ifi wanted any lip out of you . ok well never mind .

You'd unzip something? :laugh" Just kidding Diez!! I know the stress feeling. My hubby goes to school full time and works part time OUR choice! Money is tight, he could quit school but then our money will always be tight. So WE choose for him to stay in school. Sometimes its overwhelming, sometimes I cry, sometimes I wanna give up, but I dont. I'm glad hes going to school and people can keep their negative remarks and thoughts to themselves!

I didn`t see any negative remarks here.

$$$$ is tight for alotta americans right now . there are some who are more fortunate then others too. id love to be able to go back to school but alas we cant afford it right now either way .
whats he going to school for by the way ?

Computer Science. It is rough but somehow we are making it Don't worry Diez, wal mart wouldn't hire me either, screw wal mart!

Diez, it'll all settle down in time and get better, hon. It always does. Just hang in there and KNOW that this current situation is merely temporary. Love 'em to pieces in spite of the fact they're driving you nuts right now. Soon the kids will all be grown and gone off to live their lives on their own and you'll wish with all your being that you could go back in time even to this very point, just to have a "do over" and a little more time to spend with them.

And if I may, I'd like to add a word about offering advice to those who are mature enough to accept it. Sometimes it's not WHAT a person says, but HOW they say it. Using a softer tone and rewording things to reflect non-judgment is universally appreciated by the human species, and a sign of real maturity and intelligence in those who take the time and concern to learn how to do so. Those who enjoy creating waves or feel a sick need to be a bully at any given opportunity... usually from a safe distance... often resort to snide insensitivity, on the other hand. Nonetheless, what goes around comes around.

Of course, there are those who simply think they're being honest and forthright and neglect to see their own insensitivity and expect the whole world to appreciate their brand of honesty rather than take responsibility for learning a bit of diplomacy and utilizing it wisely. Thank God they usually grow up or just disappear.

Diez, I understand the stress levels can get high sometimes. Many are right...take TIME FOR YOURSELF. You deserve that much. Anyway, if somebody's going to make peace, it will most likely be you. What's the old addage...'if momma ain't happy, aint' nobody happy'! If you give yourself the time, and peace...it will show, and hopefully 'ooze' onto the others in the household. Take care. Try not to stress. I know easier said than done some days. THIS is your outlet. You do not spend 'too much' time on here. Networking with others can be a very meaningful experience, and help with all sorts of issues, even underlying ones. Keep talking. Keep plugging. We're all in it together. Even the ones who forget to keep their mouths shut!

I'm thinking the big ol' maternity gowns they give you when you go in to have a baby (or babies) at the hospital should read that adage artlvr!!!
