41 years old female from A view of you making an ass of yourself.
^^^Your mom raised a good egg  |
Posted by BellaBulleautiful My taurus mommy raised me to be about 30 minutes early to anything. xD |
Posted by BellaBulleautiful Word! I am RARELY late; I can NOT stand being late. Period. My mom (Gemini) is ALWAYS late, my dad (Aries/Taurus Cusp) doesn't like to be late, but doesn't like to be excessively early either - right on time. As for selfishness, people can call it what they want, but I do a lot for my friends and family members, but there are just some things I want to myself; especially if I've OFFERED to get you your OWN! @ Bella - that's cute that they still use your bathroom  I can't stand sharing bathrooms w/anybody! When I was engaged and we lived together, he used the guest bathroom and I used our bedroom bathroom. I just find men (in general) to not be as clean and tidy as I would like, and he wasn't a slob or anything, I just don't like it. I loved when I went out on my own from my parents house and finally had my own bathroom not shared by ANYBODY! Yeah! |

| I'm never late for anything.that's not true,I'm RARELY late for anything. I think being a mother,I gave up having anything of my own to be selfish over many years ago..... heck they have their own bathroom upstairs,and they STILL come down and use mine! |
| My bull is one of the more selfish people I know and it becomes a big issue in our house. Regarding the sweets thing, I think that's because a lot of bulls have a huge sweet tooth, mine does. He just wants them all to himself, so I see that as pretty normal and harmless. Things like him being late to everything and in his own little world all the time make him selfish to me as well. My bull sister is pretty damn selfish too. What's hers is hers and that's it. It helps when I point out his selfishness to him. Once he hears it outloud, that seems to help. |

| Happy to hear you can understand your partners bullish mentality. You implement those strategies.. it can't be too hard, especially if you're baking him cookies and bringing chocolate into the mix! yummm he won't even know what hit him! |
| enfant... i cook/bake my ass off for him. I love to cook.. he loves to eat.. Works out beautifully. Especially when i show chocolate... he does all kindsa tricks LMAO |
| Raining Peanuts you're funny! I swear he wrote that and not you! That is how he acts. And no i don't have a "problem" with it, i just need himm to bend a lil more for me LMAO "For example, instead of asking him to move the wii. HIS wii, excuse me. You could consult with him.. "Hey, do you think it would be a good idea to let the kids play the wii to keep them out of our hair?" An approach like this will definitely ease him up and have *him* more willing to share" I have learned on most fronts how to appeal to his "generous" nature like you suggested. And, yes it has worked like a charm for most things. I going to try a couple different strategies per your suggestion. I really appreciate what you have said cuz it's not just a HIM thing, i beleive you you were describing this is really how he thinks and feels and i can't fault him for that at all. I just got to figure out how to still be hostest with the mostest where he doesn't feel like i'm giving away the house and the farm. |
Aww you made him cookies  |

| I'm a bull and this made me... LMAO because I get bothered (maybe jealous) if you give someone else something I ~thought~ was only for me... wth I thought I was special! AND MAKING ME SHARE *MY* PRESENTS.. no way! I definitely do not like ppl being generous with MY stuff. I can't completely explain this behavior but I wouldn't call it selfishness. It's more like possessive. It's almost a little kid mine-mine-mine type of attitude lol I know that I am definitely not selfish.. because I'm that person who always offers to pick up the tab. I always order for two or more and will grab you something when I see you need it. I never just think of myself unless I'm alone and the bull men I know are the same way. Protective, yes, but I think you are somehow exacerbating this tendency in the bull because you aren't helping him protect his fort.. you're just offering it away! You may even be causing him some anxiety.. so find some middle ground. For example, instead of asking him to move the wii. HIS wii, excuse me. You could consult with him.. "Hey, do you think it would be a good idea to let the kids play the wii to keep them out of our hair?" An approach like this will definitely ease him up and have *him* more willing to share  There's my two cents worth of insight. |
| **got cut off** I have God-Children, family members and other friends w/kids and there is no problem w/me disciplining their kids at all - they would be mad if an adult didn't. My family doesn't play when it comes to kids. One of my cousins has 7 kids, and while they are kids and they do kid things - she does NOT play, and those kids are well-behaved. The story I told about this particular friend is that she does NOT want to hear anything bad about her son, nor does she want to do anything about his behavior because she makes excuse, after excuse about this behavior. None of our friends like to be around him, and the few who are (because they have children his age) HAVE talked to her on MULTIPLE occassions and have offered numerous amounts of advice, and to her credit, she has started taking him to a child psychologist, so it may help him one day. Anyway, I don't think that it's fair for people to have to put up with a lot of stuff from children who do not behave, because the parents don't or chose not to do anything about it. In this day and age, you say something to somebody's child, and your a$$ may end up in jail. I was at a store one day and this little boy around 6-7 was running around the store - totally trashing stuff and breaking the delicate candles, etc. The store lady was probably 70 years old and she said in a not so nice voice that it was very nice of him to destroy stuff in the lovely store; especially since he probably had no intentions/$$ to pay for it and that he should STOP breaking things. To which the little boy called her an "old b@tch" and basically told her to mind her own business and continued to terriorize the story and everyone in it. By the way, the mother stood less than 5 ft from her son and this lady during the exchange and said nothing to her son or the woman. The poor clerk in the store was just trying to hurry up and ring the person up so they would get out. After the lady left with her son, the whole store was shocked and amazed that the woman allowed her son to call this elderly lady a b@tch as well as break everything in the store. They asked the store clerk why they didn't do anything, and they said that the woman had been in there before and that the son had broken stuff, and the mother said they shouldn't have things on the floor or so easily accessible as anybody could brush by them and break them. They threatened to call the police, but apparently they didn't follow through with that. |
