[Bathsheba]

Good morning girls... Thanks for your well wishes and acknowledgment of Niall's 8 month milestone I am however having a bit of a rest from BB like I said in my last post. Yesterday i really enjoyed doing needlework instead (both boys had a nap! and I guess that after spending all morning chatting to other local mums at Wade's music group I feel I've had a good ammount of adult conversation today. I'm meeting so many families now that Wade has started Kinder, it's great. I've only skimmed through the posts since I was last online but I also just wanted to say; Neeny: I agree that most women can be two faced. However when women choose to speak in a two faced manner in public or in public forums it says more about them than the person they are putting down IMO. It's not only impolite it displays a lack of social ability. When I see/hear friends of mine behave this way I cringe and I make a mental note to say something to them afterwards or to never share information of a personal nature with them ever again. Often "getting something off your chest" has further consequences than people realise and when thoughts of a two-faced nature are shared publicly you never know where it will end up. Most importantly I think it's very unwise to make assumptions about a person unless you have at least met them in person. Please don't read this as a direct attack, these are comments of a general nature, to all the Junies. I want ALL of us to see the good aspects of each other because whether we personally like someone or not doesn't mean that that person might not have something to offer. It would be a boring world if we all acted the same. If somebody upsets you, then by all means have PERSONAL one-to-one conversations with them or another member you have grown close to. Just don't bring it into the public arena and please avoid public attacks in here or any forum that involves members whom we all know. I understand that you felt frustrated with us Jess but harsh words are hard to retract and also have ongoing consequences. I want to continue getting to know all of you and learning to appreciate the good aspects of all your characters and tolerating the aspects I struggle with. So please ladies, read the BB guidelines and don't post in anger and don't do yourselves diservices by using other forums to vent about members in here... word is getting around and it's making it uncomfortable for everyone.

Sorry Mel... posted at the same time
