[QUOTE="Star*, post: 340026, member: 4964"] Kjs, You know I'm just not sure what to say when any one of us [part of the family] wants to leave. Part of me thinks (exhale) Okay, okay something has really upset her and there is a good reason, just let her go until she gets it out of her system, don't ask -shhhhellll be back. Then there's the other part of me that sit's and thinks (twisting lips and squinting eyes) She's really hurting, why? I believe that (chuckling) for a board full of mostly women we do a really phenominal job of getting along. (looks around) Seriously. Okay adding to that, for a board full of mostly seriously stressed out, raising kids that no one else would on a bet, living with spouses who are most days about one step away from walking out the door because THEY are ALSO seriously stressed out from raising a difficult child too, having to work in jobs during a depression if we (women) are lucky enough to have a job - and some of us don't LIKE our jobs, or our bosses, or our freaky co-workers, and then add in a commute, and/or pms, pmdd, menopause, gray hair, muffin tops, bras in general, the price of sanitary stuff - dont' you think this junk should be subsidised by the US govt? and the govt? Yeah theres a whole other paragraph I'm not allowed to talk about, and just for giddy kicks lets toss is teachers that have absooooolutely no grasp of our children, teachers aids, resources officers most of whom have axes to grind and see our kids as a honing wheel, and then tdocs, psychiatrists, pharmaceutical companies, medicines, take this, 1/2 that, don't take this...see that he gets that....can you type this?

WHICH ....means...occasionally....we're going to snap, bicker....snarl....spank....be flat out direct...because in certain cases? Its what we feel is needed. Feel....not to be mean..but feel because we love. Two totally different emotions, from two totally different places. Love comes from the heart....Meanness?
