They want to help, but not if it means sacrificing something they are unwilling to part with (time, money, emotions) <br /><br />While they are trying to help, they just do not realize how damaging their comments are. You are stretched thin, you can't face doing one more thing, and there is here is Helpful Helen telling you to do this or that while she sits at home in her comfy chair and isn't up at three in the morning or lugging around huge bags of food.<br /><br />I see it all the time in fostering. People offering unsolicited advice. Sometimes it hits too close to home and I stand up for the people getting that advice. Occasionally I feel bad about it, but usually not. People need to see that sometimes what they feel the need to say is the last thing that people need to hear.Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01127077337743262149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-21767887449494653602017-02-15T03:58:08.263-05:002017-02-15T03:58:08.263-05:00Sparky looks as adorable as ever!

I was hoping for another Luna success. At least you got some options for him if and when you can get him. Keep up the great work and we all appreciate how difficult it is especially those of us who have been out in the trenches like you are, every day!<br />Carole R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7603723189041366390.post-73675345033708684412017-02-14T08:25:12.774-05:002017-02-14T08:25:12.774-05:00Oh Janine....you do the best you can and your inst...Oh Janine....you do the best you can and your instincts guide you as to who and when to rescue the next kitty.
