when people are snotty and your not does it make you become snotty back?

I won't lie. Sometimes it does play out like that for me. Even here on mylot, but usually its because of a topic I'm very "to arms!" about, so it doesn't take much to set me off depending on the tone of the discussion/posting. In real life, I try to ignore the clowns as they come. I seldom take the time to cut up some clown if they are real snobby/clownish. Most times though you are better off not doing it. Its just like arguing with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience -_-

I guess my view on those who are rude and inconsiderate is that their attitude speaks way louder about them..than the people they are being snotty to. In most cases unsolicited advice like this is worth just what it costs...NOTHING!! Also if you want to make enemies...just try to change them..or their views. One other thing I try to live by is that we teach others by our own example...and not dignifying her petty unwanted opinions with a snotty comments will be a good example to your kids. I guess if I was going to say anything to her I would quietly remind her that whether she approves or not...it is a free country with the right to choose. If I was going to respond I always like the..."Lady if I wanted your opinion I would ask for it..and I didn't. So will you please put a sock in it! Thank you!" Then I'd walk away. It takes two to create conflict and one one person refuses to become engaged a walks away...there is no conflict to resolve..it is done..finis! It has and does work for me..because I choose my battles carefully and most are not worth the time, energy or aggravation many people put into them. However, that is just my perspective mind you! Good luck with the snotty baseball moms..however it works out!
