But in the long run, like one person here said, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Just because it is the truth, doesn't mean it is good to be blunt and rude. I view it like this: If your child is in line with you at the grocery store, behind a rather large person, and your child says very loudly, "You are so fat!" Do you say, "Oh well, they're just being honest. Nothing wrong with that." I would hope not. What they say may be true, but it is rude to state it that way.

I understand what you are saying, and I agree with you on the rudeness... And no it shouldn't be done in a rude way, but Breeding can't always be sugar coated for everyone, I mean there are bad things that happen and if we make it sound so easy (Which by no means it isn't) then how many bitches and litters could dye due to us making it sound so easy?

I've always told my children to be 100% honest with me, don't hide or lye to me...So I only practice here what I preach to my children. I've raised my children to be respectful of ALL others...I guess I could say here what I also tell my children: "Do Unto Others As You'd Have Them Do Unto You". That goes for us adults too.

And I do think when anyone here (Including me) steps over that line of being to rude that person needs to be given a warning...1 warning not 10, then if it continues band them!!!! I mean we're all adults here aren't we? Or at least we're suppose to be adults. I only give my children 1 warning then they have to face the consequences of their actions. Lee
