This is sick but I realized, this is what you do with someone else's kid. You stay out of it. You don't stand up or give correction. I'm not sure if this is good or really bad.
Used to be all adults would keep an eye on all children. We will now, collectively, allow your kid to go over a cliff. We may even lead him or her their voluntarily. This seems gross.
I track this to the loss of a recognition of transcendent truth about behavior or anything really. If everything is relative, who am I to say anything.
@elsa I agree.
Part of being an adult is letting criticism roll of your back if you can’t use it as advice. Ans if it makes sense , you just say thank you and see it as a chance to learn. I wish I had this maturity as a scared young mother ! I was always so offended. Granted, many DID mean to offend . But thats not normal. It was a toxic environment.
I am just plain tired, so I’ve decided to pick and choose my battles. I’m Libra Asc, so people expect me to be the mediator. Too much is too much, it’s not worth my time.
My Gemini hubby tends to like to jerk my chain, and ALWAYS wants the last word. Also my hubby and my 2 of my 4 kids “ think they know what and how I think” ( they don’t) and they “arrogantly” like to believe that they can “outsmart” me by mocking me. It’s like they all of a sudden need to win every argument and put me in my place. This behavior is new in the last couple of years, so it’s probably something to do with all of the planets running through my 3rd to 5th houses. I also need to look into the charts of those 3 and figure out what is triggering this behavior on their end.
I am trying to follow the steps in the book Non Violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.
I have been trying to find a scenario where this doesn't exist. I have not been able to!

I don't argue any more because it's completely futile (IMHO).
Why argue, people really don't change their minds any more. Also, you find out that people you want to like (and are often related to) have deplorable morals.
Honestly, I wish I could have every single second I spent arguing politics back. It was all a complete waste of my time.
