I agree…and there are a few steps I can think of – but the most important thing for me is to pause a moment and check with myself before actually saying something hurtful. Thanks again!

@Julie – Unloading and venting is a necessary part of releasing stress. The trick is to find the right ear so that the unloading can be channelled into something constructive. Hope you’re having a good time at your conference!

@Yael – Self-reflection is good! Do follow it by thinking of a real step that you can take because that is when the benefits become tangible

Dear Reetha
I love that you focused on this issue and it has given me alot of food for thought and self reflection (as if I lack it…ha ha). As a caregiver to both my Mum and two kids, and having been a child myself, I recognize how I sometimes can do some “talking over there heads” – thanks for enlightening me further.

Great post, Reeta… I think sometimes the caregiver wants to unload or just doesn’t think about the other person enough… But good guidelines! Talk to you soon… getting ready to fly.
