Just that really...
I'm just wondering whether people read their posts back, imagining they were someone else's, and think "oh that DH sounds like a controlling so-and-so" or "perhaps that MIL is only trying to help with childcare after all"...?
There's something about seeing it written down in black and white that can help to focus the mind somehow.

There's the classic where someone replied back to themself recommending their buggy that they'd bought a few years earlier not realising that they were the OP Confused

It reminds me of some great advice I received.

‘What would you say to your best friend in this situation?’

It has helped me get clarity on a lot of things

Yep. I've written manys a post which I've read back and promptly deleted

I just read some sometimes and think "surely they must know that's not normal/ healthy etc".
Then again, I'm hopeless at spotting the troll-y ones...!
