do you still take care of your family member's feelings? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family4 months ago

well, as some of you may know,
my mom is a foster mother
and she is looking after 3 boys now, aged 12, 3 and 4
and the thing is, i feel that sometimes we are so obsessed on having a good time that we do not really care about their feelings.
such as a few days ago.
we went to have dinner together and with my sis's bf.
and they, my sisters and the bf, were all taking pictures of my brother.
without his permission.
and when he tried to do the same, they got really pissed.
so i was thinking, do you have this events when you are so familar with each other that you neglect to take care of how someone may feel?

Well, I guess when you live together long enough, you tend to take the other people in your family for granted at times. It is very natural. And it happens from time to time.

Just make them aware (your sis and her boyfriend) after they cool off. Then maybe get her to apologize to your brother.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

ok, thanks....
i feel that way too.
just hope he still treats us as family.


myLot reputation of 95/100. ahgong (2601)   ranked 938 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

I am sure he will.
There is no overnight grudges between family!
If everyone were to hold a grudge every time there is an argument, there will be no more harmony within the family.
Not the way to go for a healthy family.
Talk to him if you think he is still nursing a grudge.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

ok, thanks for the advice!!!
i will use it!!!


myLot reputation of 95/100. ahgong (2601)   ranked 938 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

You are most welcome my friend.
I hope whatever grudges your siblings may have, would have dissipated by now.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

lol..
i hope so too!!!
i think it has...
or maybe he is just secretly holding a gruge...


myLot reputation of 95/100. ahgong (2601)   ranked 938 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

That is even worst!
Better to talk it out than to bottle it up.
Bottling up feelings is like a time bomb waiting to explode.
When the explosion occurs, the damages are really hard to repair!


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

i know...
but it is rather difficult for me to know if he is holding a gruge or not.
he is still being nice to us, so i think it is ok...
hope so!!!

Yes, to the point it is not normal.
My family just doesn't discuss things or do things that might hurt another family member's feelings. That is the way it has always been. It is like the elephant in the room and it never leaves. It is like walking on egg shells.
Between my husband, my daughter and I our relationship is different. We are open. We don't try to hurt feelings but we are honest and if we hurt the others feelings they will tell and it will get stopped or talked about.


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4179)   ranked 212 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

thanks for the best response.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

yes, sometimes you feel that you are family and you can say all you want, but you are not close, and so are unable to...
and also, since they are your family, you have to take extra care on what you say as it may leave them with a bad impression of you.
but...
wow, the relationship between your husband and daughter, it sounds so right and it just seems like the best way to hold a relationship with someone!!!


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4179)   ranked 212 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

we still have our conflicts. But we like our house to be peaceful an this is the only way to do it, or that I know of anyway.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

lol...
well, we all try our best...
most of the times anyway...
how old is your daughter?


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4179)   ranked 212 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

She is 11. That nice age when she thinks she is old enough to do anything. Testing the boundaries, ya know.She will be 12 next month.


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

lol...
i'm late then...
or i came out of it really late...
for 4 years i was really mean to everyone who cares for me..
and i think, my family thank their lucky stars that i have become more conscious of other's feelings and do not hurt them on purpose...
so, well, i THINK i turn out ok, room or improvement is vast though, but much better than i was before.
so, well, just tide it out i guess...
wow...
12 soon...
my brother is 12...
and he is really lame...lol...
but girls, my younger sis is 14, and i think she went through her 12 year old body rather well...


myLot reputation of 94/100. Ruthep (4179)   ranked 212 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

or Gwen is early. She has been through so much and has had to really grow up sooner than she should have to. I would swear she has been a teen for a couple year already.lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

oh well...
i think my sisters are forced to grow up as well...
our mom became a foster mother 4 years ago and we were thrown into being young "mothers" helping our mom whenever possible...
so she is not the only one...
dont worry...
i think she will be ok...

Dear friend,
I do still take care of my family members feelings and also they too consider my feelings even though I try not to hurt them by not revealing those unwanted negative feelings in me. I also try my best to solve those feelings more positively and also try to give more happy life to my family from my side. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

Appropriate care for the family's feelings is necessary, of course, we can have our insistence, only that you should learn how to choice! But since we are a family, it is necessary to spend some thought to operate it, including taking into account their feelings!


myLot reputation of 95/100. raclie (918)   ranked 150 out of 2,891 in family  4 months ago

yes, thank you...
i mean...
we usually do, but sometimes we are just forget when we get too comfortable with each other..
its tough, but we try out best most of time...
