... If your mothering style is anything approaching the admirable qualities you display in this forum, your children are not only uniquely lucky, but *i'd* bet money that they are phenomenally well-adjusted, charismatic and intelligent individuals, raised in your likeness. .
Hear, hear! The only doubt lingering in my mind is -- living in Kentucky, are they also phonemically well-adjusted? [duck-and-run]

Well, thank you, Bridget96 and Anna! Of course I think my
children are fantastic! We hear it all the time from people at church, too. They're as biased as my husband and I are, though!

>Agreed... But not unanimously
there you go again! (what is it, in this particularly variegated thread, that you agree with?)

well, of course the people at church are as biased as you are; that's why people group together...

Ah, Jackie, I have no idea how you dress-- but i love your style! You manage not only to express good ideas, but you have also mastered "tone".. I know i sometimes "sound" strident-- when I am not really-- I don't know how you do it-- (but i do study your posts)--
Somehow, your voice can be heard in your posts-- and we can all tell when you are being playful, and when you are being stern (hardly ever!) and your rebrukes, are so soft and gentle, we end up-- rueing our words, with out ever feeling we have been "yelled" at--
Does it come naturaly? Or do you really work at it? I know i have to work at being cheerful, and outgoing-- that my natural tendency is to be dour, and crabby-- and while i have learned to do it orally-- some of the crabbiness leaks out into my posts..and sometime its evident how much of a snob i am (every one is equal, only I am slightly better than everyone, didn't you know?)
can you give us any "tricks of trades" to make it easier for us to achive "tone"?

What is the brand name of the unction that conveys salving grace?"Love"--I felt that it fit the intent of both words nicely. Helen, I...hardly know what to say. Thank you, at least. As to "translating" (transmitting, I think) my tone of voice, I guess I've just assimilated techniques I've seen. Re: relating to people, part of it comes naturally--I hate conflict, and have always tended to want to mediate/mitigate high-stress situations. The other part is indeed learned, and honed, of course. I was amazed, after I became a Social Work major, to find out that there are actually ways of learning how to talk to people. Now maverick, dag nab it--today you have shown me so much sweetness that I can't fuss at you for that 'mouthy' pun!
