Especially because so often people complain about their kids when they are right there. Maybe playing but probably in ear shot. I know I've done it many times.Moyridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09109060979165835871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209785482041222629.post-77301126625616131532008-09-29T12:14:00.000-05:002008-09-29T12:14:00.000-05:00I think the small evil; "venting" prevents the lar...I think the small evil; "venting" prevents the larger evil; "stew and blow up" and the more contraversial evil "making a nothing into something." Face it, sometimes they (my favorite people) make me crazy and they don't need to know about it because it is my issue not theirs. But that said, wouldn't it be nice to vent to your friends and then immediately follow up with two more things you really appreciate about the subject of your vent. Then people don't get the impression that the people you love are all prats.Jump Hihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884850858056671978noreply@blogger.com
