Some may be custodians. Or their friends. It's a big, connected world, and one may quickly find oneself without adequate defense in another, less virtual, environment.<BR/><BR/>But as for that mother hen: around here, kits learn to hunt on their own as soon as they're old enough. I, or any other adult coyote, has no business going out chasin' partridges for them every time they whine. We'd just be delaying them from learning what they need to survive.

Decades ago when I was in Mining School, administrators told me about parents who would call seeking information on their children or trying to intervene and being told that if their offspring was over 18 they'd need a consent letter before they could do more than confirm anything more than the fact of the offspring being registered.4th Dwarfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078187712957062528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12540914.post-1123948246447808862005-08-13T11:50:00.000-04:002005-08-13T11:50:00.000-04:00Yes, we are all agreed about the momma calling abo...Yes, we are all agreed about the momma calling about the marks. Yuck, what a horrible situation, and 5m dealt correctly with it. <BR/><BR/>But note: once again, she comments that she can't stand how university life has degenerated, how the chair of the dept. doesn't support her, and that he doesn't react the way she wants when she voices complaints about other things and people bothering her. <BR/><BR/>Isn't this almost exactly what she said about the Elphin, and the caretakers and management there? <BR/><BR/>Then, she wishes she could withdraw from the world and just blog. <BR/><BR/>5m may need to realize that the world is not smooth, we are always in some conflict with others, often at work or with a landlord, and that she must learn skills to discreetly get her point across, and get better reactions from others around her. Being "nice" often gets you more of what you need, and want.<BR/><BR/>Which is not to say one should be fake. But one should be polite. One should be ready to give, in order to take a bit. You have to mediate and negotiate, in order to function happily in this life.
