[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 354904, member: 6705"] Andy - my $0.02 - I was the unpopular kid. In fact still am to an extent, though it no longer is so hurtful... I know who I love, and who loves me, and to heck with everyone else. I never understood why I was left out. I wasn't mean. I didn't hurt people - in fact I was the one who GOT hurt a lot of times. I do understand now. I went to an exclusive parochial school through eighth grade. My parents scraped to get together the money - we were actually "poor" according to the other girls. I was socially ostractized because of money. Later I did have friends - a few on scholarship. Then in high school, a few more. But not usually close friends. Mostly just "good acquaintances". By then, I'd developed the "love me or hate me" personality I wear to this day. As a result, I have a few "best" friends... And very, very few others. I don't bite, I'm not physically aggressive or disgusting... I just don't sugarcoat ANYTHING. It can be very, very annoying. (Yes, I am aware of this... That's who I am, though.) Tact, I do have. All that said - keeping E involved [I]if she wants to be and can behave appropriately[/I] - is wonderful. But if she cannot - she goes home. I mean, what happens if you walk into work one day, someone makes you mad so you BITE them? Um. Can we say... Looking for a job? Possible court involvement??? OK I think that was more like $0.10. Sorry! [/QUOTE]
