When will I learn?  I mean really, I’m not so naive that I think everyone agrees with me.  However, people often disagree with me and either do it in a manner that is convincing enough to cause me reconsider their thoughts and at the very least, they o it without offending me really.  But, me?  when I speak out with a differing opinion than one, and often a group,  I inevitably offend someone.

That filter?  You know the one between the brain’s impulse to speak and your tongue and lips actually moving and words coming from them?  Well, apparently mine is broken.

I’ve gone periods of my life where I never disagreed with anyone simply due to the fact that I hate confrontation.  But, once we bought the daycare, I found my spine and apparently lost my filter.  And, it doesn’t help when people want to say things without using their own filter.

Anyway, I’m practicing the art of tactfulness and to be perfectly honest, I doubt I will be successful anytime soon.  Simply put, when people want to discuss education and/or my child, I lose all ability to filter.

It’s not enough that filtering is a problem.  Even when I do filter, I just can’t put the right words together to make my opinion sound kind and convincing.  I always end up in a combative conversation.  Here’s a couple of examples, Interesting Perspective..to bad she was too mad to listen and Can I get an Amen Sista?  One school, two horrible events!!!

What do you think, am I just destined for arguments or what?
