Sharon, I don't think misophist was attacking me. He may have been making a suggestion about how I'm working with my family. I'm not sure. But, I will tell you one thing. If he is saying that MY family is ever passive-aggressive, that will receive a resounding hahaha! No Way!

My children tell me to "shut-up Mom" when they feel I'm being a bother, and that's without hesitation or fear. I've raised them to be very independent and they will not allow even me to step on their decisions, even if they know they're wrong (like smoking).

Oh hell, this has gone on long enough. Let's have a wonderful Independence Day tomorrow. My daughter read Sharons post and she did say "Oh Ok, I'll stop"! We'll see. Thank you Sharon. Thank you for your input Misophist and I hope you are well. This has been an illuminating conversation. Kendell, I can't tell you how happy I am that we will still be able to hear you at the Getaway.

Love, Annamill
