I am! My fiancé also has 3 siblings that are each a little bit older than each of Bonnie's kids.HelloSweetie1 wrote:(Not quoting for length)
Alym, you're in childcare right? You can sternly talk to the children sure, but can you do so while holding their face? I doubt it. Why? Because it seems OTT and unnecessary. That's why I say maybe it's ok for Ellie because they are close. I wouldn't be ok with it. For reference though, would you be ok with just anyone speaking that way to your child?
About the scissors though, you're missing the reason why other mothers got offended. He GOT the scissors, Bonnie didn't say she left him playing with them. You're assuming too much. He could have climbed up on the counter for all we know. Yes, she shouldn't have left then there (more assumption) but maybe Joel did, or Olivia? We don't know. Blaming Bonnie is a bit much.
Aren't people always saying we can't judge Ellie based on what we don't see? That that's nitpicky? We didn't see anything to do with the scissors, so we shouldn't assume it's Bonnie's fault.
I understand what you're saying though. I just see it different based on my own experience I guess. That's my few posts of debate, moving on for the night...But yep, we definitely can agree to disagree
I would have to know the context of the situation, off first glance of course I wouldn't be okay with just ANYONE doing that, my sibling is different, but still if it were my sibling and I knew the context, I wouldn't be as angry.
I do understand what you are saying though.
With the scissors I'm mainly upset about the situation the happened the other day, with her letting him play with them.
Also I only usually see a select few referring to the things said about Ellie as being nitpicky, the last time I did I was kind of looked at as "lecturing" even though that wasn't what I was doing. Lol.
But regardless my main concern with the scissors was from the other day, it also was quite ironic to me that the other day Boston tried to cut Codys hair with the scissors and a few days later ends up cutting his own.
