I knew they were wrong to not apologize but expected apologies out of me. I knew, even then, that by them apologizing, it would earn more respect from me than if the just continued (as they did) to insist they were right or even if they were wrong, that they were the parents and didn't have to apologize.<br /><br />Whatever, assholes.<br /><br />No, I don't hold grudges either. *wink*Gretchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00039056206420438194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-69290200746970848952011-02-23T20:56:39.803-05:002011-02-23T20:56:39.803-05:00My youngest daughter is always telling me my brain...My youngest daughter is always telling me my brain to mouth filter is not working!<br /><br />I always apologize when I have said or done something that I shouldn't have.

Even as adults we all make mistakes. Its one thing I have noticed about my husband, he never admits he was wrong, nor does he say sorry - ever!Style At Every Agehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08651040515126111051noreply@blogger.com
