Why is everyone choosing now to take my entries apart? I wrote that entry weeks ago... I'll admit I didn't make a very good job of that particular entry either, and even tho I'd love to make clearer what I meant to say, I can't... I don't have the words to explain what annoyed me about that particular situation... I think that part of it was that they weren't trusting Dave to make his own decision... not much to do with their faith, but the way I thought about it at the time lead to me remembering the other situation talked about in that entry, which I'm alot more angry about to be honest.
Two tear-Sammie's-entries-apart entries and a boyfriend who wouldn't talk to me... I had a great day yesterday...
No you got it all wrong! I wasn't tearing apart... I was giving another point of view on the subject at hand...
Yes it was written two weeks ago, but I only saw it yesterday because its the first time I saw your account.
Also I explained lots of times that it wasn't written in offence... its just to help you understand the situation better. But as you said if you couldn't explain properly on that situation I could have got an entirely different message!
But also its my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right... it doesn't mean I'm wrong. I am glad you replied to be honest because I half expected for some of it to be taken the wrong way
And I also stand by the point, it wasn't that they don't trust Dave to make right decision... its the fact that they are entitled to their opinion also... just like you are. They think its a bad idea... and who can blame them. Dave is moving in with strangers in their eyes. If they knew Jonaz and Tanya, it would be an entirely different situation.
I understand... Yet the amount Dave's parents trust him really does bug me...
My dad asked me to go on the pill as soon as I started going out with Dave... The only time he ever asked me anything about it was when I first started taking it, to make sure that the doctor's visit had gone okay... Since then he's trusted me to take it properly, and make all decisions regarding it. He also trusts me to contact him if I get into any type of trouble. My mum trusts me to do the right thing for everyone, and never gets on at me about my decisions - she's not the type of person to say "I told you so"...
For me, coming from a family like that, where despite all the differences we've had and all the wrong stuff I've done my parents still trust me... it's hard watching someone over a year older than me not being trusted to make his own decisions, when he's done very little wrong (in my opinion) before...
Maybe it's just the whole first-child thing, who knows?
