Not always and not all of us, but most ... and it makes it's hard knowing who to befriend and who to trust, doesn't it?<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-40570672911270521982010-10-14T00:23:13.068+11:002010-10-14T00:23:13.068+11:00Being indignant is all the rage, these days.

It takes me time before I can trust someone. They have to prove to me over time that they are a trustworthy person, a time of getting to know them. <br />I usually will not give someone my opinion on parenting unless I'm asked, women tend to freak out about those sorts of things. <br />I think with alot of friendships, most people cannot take honesty or criticism. Everyone gets hurt feelings, and they won't tell you they have hurt feelings, they will just harbor them.<br />I have only one friend that I can do this with. I have known her since college and she is upfront and honest. <br />Women are super sensitive at times, I know I can be, and with their kids, they are like mama bears with their cubs, ready to charge if they are threatened. <br />As you can tell by my lengthy response, I know exactly what your talking about. Mom groups at times are like high school all over again, yuk.<br />I wish you the best!cowboybunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05725021036637662887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-64005488201025847462010-10-11T12:06:39.678+11:002010-10-11T12:06:39.678+11:00I've found relationships with women to be more...I've found relationships with women to be more difficult than any other... <br />Especially when the common thread is children. I had a horrible experience in a mommy group, the same sort of situation, being too honest and trusting and then ending up screwed and back stabbed... so not good.Corinne Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07604810312185816792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8504309555785961399.post-43537369841011779472010-10-11T11:58:08.596+11:002010-10-11T11:58:08.596+11:00I generally trust someone until they give me cause...I generally trust someone until they give me cause not to trust them, I do think it is better to be upfront and honest, so I have often been told that I am too abrupt (whatever that means), sometimes it is easier when starting a friendship to outline your faults (as you perceive them) at the beginnning of it, that way everything is out there and no-one can say "I didn't know you were like that or felt that way".Piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024358673602132526noreply@blogger.com
