I grew up in a big Italian family...things were always told me directly and bluntly. Yah..maybe it wasnt in a not so nice way..but yanno what? I learned!!! I didnt need someone to hold my hand or to be coddled. I guess thats why i LOVE YT so much..it reminds me of my own family. Yes sometimes things arent said so nicely...but I'm learning an ENORMOUS amount of information just being here. And the way i see it....people are looking out for the welfare of my baby. It means they care.

Also, i never was jumped on when i was a newbie. Maybe its cause i spent sometime with my typing mouth shut and actually listened to what was being typed on the screen. I think a lot of people come on here thinking they are automatic experts cause they now own a yorkie. Just cause you have a kid, doesnt make you a good mother. It takes time and patience and sometimes you just have to listen.
