Is It Always N Behavior to Violate Others' Boundaries?

[BonesMS]

I see quite often on various blogs that people complain that an article or recipe (or whatever it is that's being written for them) isn't what they wanted!  As if the person writing it ought to be doing personalised articles for everybody.  Too much consumption now, I think, and not enough thought....

Hear, HEAR.

Brava.

Yeah, I'm grumpy this morning.

One of the letters to Dear Prudence sounds like:  "How can I FORCE MY CONTROL down the throat of my husband and FORCE him to do what I WANT?"

Prudence has responded with:  "No" in BOLD LETTERS!

The last letter reminded me of a similar situation that happened to a couple of acquaintances.  When their mother died, their sister immediately went to the house and started taking things that did NOT belong to her!  (The mother had a will that stipulated EXACTLY who was supposed to get what.)  When the will was probated, the sister attempted to keep everything, including money.  The acquaintances finally had to go to court and get a judgment against her, which finally forced her to pay up!

This ding-dong letter writer needs to GET A CLUE that she has to accept a PACKAGE DEAL or GET OUT!!!!  To this gentleman, these dogs are his FUR-BABIES, HIS CHILDREN!!!  Suppose he had human children instead?  Would she have the unmitigated GALL to DEMAND he get rid of them because SHE MUST COME FIRST?!?!!?  She's already had THREE husbands and it sounds as if she's trying to play the "total innocent".  She's raising a LOT of RED FLAGS with her attitude!!!!

"I have found a man to marry and all I require is that he discard from his life two sources of unconditional love, connection and happiness that have sustained him for years. Is this a problem?"

Sheesh.

If somebody isn't able to see what's wunnerful about my formerly-traumatized little rescue who now FLINGS herself between me and a visitor on the couch to be sure her tummy is rubbed from BOTH directions....buh-bye....

And when a Fur-Baby raises the alarm about a "human", I trust the Fur-Baby!

I think we know a few like these who only talk about themselves and are NOT interested in listening to anyone else.

I can NEVER understand people who refuse to respect boundaries and refuse to respect the word "No"!

I was discussing allergies with a couple of other people and what I learned had my jaw on the floor!  In one case, a child with a SEVERE allergy to nuts kept politely telling this adult, "No, thank you.", to their insistence that the child eat a cookie LOADED with nuts!  The adult pulled a power-play on the child and when the child ate the nut-laden cookie, he turned blue and 9-1-1 had to be called!  Thankfully, the child survived!

In the second case, when a mother and 7-year-old son attended a social event, the child wore a name tag that CLEARLY stated, "I am SEVERELY allergic.  Please do not offer me food or water."  (He's also allergic to chlorine that is in the water.)  Well, this DINGBAT insisted on giving this 7-year-old child candy that was LOADED with nuts, caramel, chocolate, etc.  His mother reminded the DINGBAT that her son is ALLERGIC and he CANNOT eat the candy without landing in the Emergency Room!  DINGBAT responds, "Well, he can just hold onto it and give it away to a child who isn't allergic!"  WTF?!?!?!?     This DINGBAT expected a 7-year-old to be immune to candy!!!

What is WRONG with people?!?!?!?
