I'm sorry, but Stormster was just here venting, I think...

Why, even when we vent, do any of us have to become victims of the "you're generalizing" or "not everyone does this", when we all know full well that the person isn't thinking of generalizing, and even if they are, we know the opposite (about whatever the generalization is) to be true?

BTW: I took her original post as in wondering why the avoidance of a subject that most people gladly share all of the details about, raising a red flag.

I have no problem, including discussing cost (foster to adopt) of our situation in hopes to help people going down the same path, so it seems to me, if they did not want to discuss it, rather than change the topic, they should just say "well, it's not important now, we have our beautiful child(ren)"...KWIM?
