To get really pissed off when people ignore posts and pick out bits to answer?

It does my fucking head in! You post to get answers so why ignore things that could let people help and offer advice?

Mud your dsd s mum sounds awful!

Were having problems at the moment with ds2 visiting his dad as his sm says and does some awful things to him, he's now refusing to stay at the house and instead goes to his nanas and aunts. Unfortunately his dad hasn't bothered visiting him even though his mum lives across the road from him. I have no idea what to do next.

But some posts are long, and if you only want to or feel you can rebut/answer certain points?

I hate it when that happens too, especially if you're giving someone some good advice. Oh well

I couldn't keep up! I did say thanks for the link though.

And it was a joke that I get pissed off with people not agreeing with me Blush

Oh for God's sake, OP, just explain what you're talking about it or say it on the actual thread rather than a thread about a thread!

It annoys me too, Mud. If I feel particularly strongly that the OP should be listening to ME which is most of the time I tend to re-read their posts to really get under the skin of their issue and refer directly to specific things they've said. Tends to work.

I'm confused sorry, do you mean an OP is ignoring advice from other posters in threads they've started or are you talking about a poster who has asked something in their OP and the replies they are getting isn't answering the question asked?

Either way, yanbu for getting annoyed, I'm stressed out with trying to get uni work finished at the moment and EVERYTHING is annoying me! Wink
