For the record, there is no one incident or person that has sparked this. No, really. This has been going on for most of at least a year, and Mistress Mousie has finally had enough.

I am an adult. I can, and do make thought-out decsions. I happen to more often than not be friendly, open, and generally easy to get along with. This does not make me a doormat, nor does it make a foolish person.

I try very hard to find common ground, and to compromise. This does not make me weak. This is not an invitation to keep pushing at me until I give. I try very hard to see all sides of a point. I also try very hard to not fall into the 'my way is the only right way', or 'I know the right way, and anything else is wrong' traps of thinking. This does not mean that if you keep hamering at your viewpoint in my face for long enough, and often enough, that I am going to concede. It means that I am going to tell you that that is your opinion, and that it differs from mine. I reserve the right to point to any and all evidence that I have collected to point out where you might have made an error, though. For the record, you reserve the same right to point out errors that I have made.

Bear-Cub, Puppy, and Phooka are my daughters. There is no room for argument with me on this one. [livejournal.com profile] warinbear is my husband in all but law. There is no room for argument with me on this one, either. I am a member of this family, with all the rights and responsibilities that that entails. Nope, no argument room on that one.

Everybody got that?

Little Mouse, this is the life you have chosen for yourself with (I certainly hope) serious thought and consideration. You are supposed to be an adult, and have made an adult choice. So be it. You are the one who must live with this choice, not me, Fred, George Suzy, or Tom.
So they can bite buttons. I think you will do just fine.
