Ok, so I AM a cow and behaved childishly when confronted with number one son asking fairly reasonably if he could use the computer, but because I didn't get off it fast enough he then made his big mistake and started trying to gang up on me, threatening to 'tell' my other half how unreasonable I was being (he WAS behaving totally uncharacteristically I must add) but I don't react well to being threatened or bullied, and I think the reaction he got from me rather shook him up....(Good!)....but it STILL hurts. As they say on the EOAS tagboard, he pushed a few buttons he didn't know I had. Aren't teenagers wonderful?

stop trying to justify it.. he's an 18yr old bratling.. they'll use whatever means necessary .. up to and including bullying

I agree. It sounds like your 18 year old was out of line and misbehaving. I am a teacher and have to deal with about 20 to 30 of them at the same time and the only thing that gets you through is setting and defending your boundaries. Sad fact is that more and more parents no longer stand up to their children and let them take over. You did the right thing... and now you know what buttons you have, nin meleth

Hi sweetie. I jus' wanted to say that I think Morgana and Geek are right. You did what you had to do and no one is perfect. And it seems to me that you learned something about yourself too. It's hard to know what to do when children push all of our buttons. Believe me, my little elfling that I care for right now knows me well enough to get me steaming angry and she does it constantly jus' to see how far she can push me. I guess all of this is jus' to say that I think things aren't as bad as they seem sometimes. From what I've know of you, you are kind and caring. And that seems to be a trait that carries over. Anyway, I just wanted to leave you with some huggles to take with you. Best of luck. *huggles*

You said; maybe it's bad luck, but the past three or four times people have got upset or hurt or whatever, always seems to be when I'm around...I feel like a bloomin' 'curse of the tagboard' at the moment..

Nah, sweetie, you aren't to blame. It is the way of life that whenever one has a good thing going that it gets taken away somehow. Like you I was looking forward to some romance stuff and I was keeping an eye out for you. I am feeling depressed and would have loved to do some romance stuff, but alas, it isn't meant to be any longer.

But don't worry, it wasn't you 'meleth'!
bye
