jac379: I've been accused of being mumsy on the blogs before, so I nipped off into the garage for a roll-up and a cuppa and had a little think about this one. I've come up with a few mumsy traits:

1. Accepting people for whatever stage of development they are at;

2. Encouraging people to move on and grow when they are ready to do so and in the direction that they want to go in;

3. Creating boundaries whilst being open to change when the need arises;

4. Acknowledging that learning works both ways;

5. Expecting to be listened to, but never forgetting to listen;

6. Resolving conflict;

7. Knowing when to be there for someone, but knowing when you need time for yourself.

Is that mumsy, or is it what you would do in any relationship, be it children, friends, family, or lovers?

Whad'ya think?

Not mumsy at all, But something we should all strive to learn and live by.

I have the answer for you. Nice guys are not nice. They are insecure and lame, placid. Otherwise they'd be like the rest of em. Men are men, plain and simple. rolling on the floor laughing

No worries, my friend, I'm not in the slightest bit offended. Revel in a minor victory - you got me to shut my mouth.

Tee hee hee.
