then why do you bother to ask? This woman in my play group asked a bunch of us our opinion on a somewhat controversial child rearing topic. Well, of course, she got a bunch of different responses. Some agreed with her, others did not, but everyone's responses to her questions were very adult and civil. Well, now she is being nasty to those that didn't agree with her take on the subject. I know in looking for opinions, she was essentially looking for support of her own beliefs, but did she really think that everyone she asked was going to just agree with her to appease her?
Ugh! How should I go about handling this person in the future? If she asks for opinions on some other topic, should I just take the fifth and not answer, or maybe I should avoid her altogether? I know that will drive me nuts, because I am opinionated and I do have strong beliefs on some topics that may come up. I really don't want to avoid her because, for the most part, I actually like her and find her fun. What would you do? Oh, and by the way, I am guessing I will get a few different opinions here, so I am prepared for your answers, whether I agree with them or not ;-) (wink, wink, ha, ha!) Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
