<p>I practice law full time and I was never the room parent, booster club president or assistant coach. I admit that I have always made a special effort to express gratitude to teachers, coaches, and all of the parents who volunteer more than I do.</p>
<p>Unfortunately my family would think I rarely leave anything unsaid. ;)</p>
<p>Over the years, my husband has persuaded me that I should occasionally keep my mouth shut. Still, I absolutely HATE it when I have to pretend I didn’t hear that racist or sexist remark and not say anything. </p>
<p>I also hate trying to keep my mouth shut when I see someone training his dog to ignore him. (I go to an off-leash dog park, and I often see people yelling at their dog to “come! come!” and then grabbing the dog and yelling at it all the way to the car. Yeah, that’s really going to make the dog thrilled that he came when called!)</p>
<p>dmd77…or children</p>
<p>I am more the sort of person who says things that should remain unsaid.</p>
<p>^^^^ me, too.</p>
