Comment on Are You A Caregiver by Jo Parker

i been a Personal Carer for about 15 years or more & its i true that the Carers get forgotten about and they seem to be seen as invincible and wonder women/men, AND THEY ARE NOT!!! SO, sorry to say I am NOT WONDER WOMAN!! as mush AS i would like to think I am. I needed help too when I was looking after my folks. I am very thankful for my older sister who was there to help me, plus friends and church family. I am still learning to ask for help and that doesnt come easily … harder when your too proud to admit yo need help too!!!

I agree that you cannot always get the other person to reconcile with you, but if you make first effort, at least you are putting the ball back in their court, and when/if they are ready, they will come to you.

I agree and disagree.

I think a lot of Christian authors make forgiveness/reconciliation out to be this easy thing, like “Don’t fight children. Make up now.” Sometimes we can’t confess our wrongdoing (not because we aren’t sinners) because we haven’t actually done anything wrong in that particular circumstance. The validating others’ feelings is hard too when they are being completely unreasonable…or even psycho.

Having said that, I agree with the bit about getting others to help with the reconciliation process. It’s what Jesus calls us to do after all. The hard thing I’ve found is getting other Christians to do the Matt 18 thing with you. So many just want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend the conflict isn’t happening.

Comment on Who Hates Land Agents by sarah

Oh yes, real estate agents! I could tell you some stories…
The last real estate agent I rented off in Cannington was shocking. They never returned calls and took ages to send someone around to fix things (something was ALWAYS going wrong with the house). They used one handyman for several hundred properties and why they didn’t hire another handyman I don’t know. I got sent letters threatening eviction because I hadn’t paid my rent (but I had) so I rang up and complained and they apologised but that didn’t stop the letters. When I wanted to break my lease, they said I had to find someone when it is THEIR responsibility and only if they can’t do I need to pay double rent. Aaargh I could go on but I’ll stop there. Best of luck with the house hunting. If you were moving to Albany I’d recommend my dad. He’s a good property manager.
