My
Hope he feels better!
I definitely agree with that. Education should come first before we judge. I didn't know much about diabetes before my diagnosis, and I don't blame anyone else for not knowing. It's just the ones who refuse to listen and behave like butts even after being told the facts who get a nice tall glass of shut the heck up.
Husband can be like that, the rest of my family too. It is really hard sometimes when it feels like the hole world is against you, that why i like coming on here.
Any way just seems like one bad day after another... today i took my car for an mot, they then called saying it had failed on a seat belt and their suggestion was to remove the seat and retest to pass... problem with that is... its a 7 seated car and i have 6 kids! Will i be driving round with a child in a faulty dangerous chair? Also i tested all the seatbelts as well as checked fluids and wipers and tyres before i took it in so knew it was a load of rubbish.
On my way kids in tow, i was waiting to cross the street, i had to wait a out 5 minutes, it was busy but had no problem with that. A woman slowed right down and started waving, i checked the other way, to make sure it was safe, thanked her and crossed, she slammed on her brakes exaggeratedly and started with hand gestures, then as i finished crossing she rolled down the window and started shouting at me, i said "you waved me across". She had no one behind her so by law it was ok for her to stop and let me pass, though the hand gesture goes against the high way code and if done in a test is an automatic fail.
Turned out she wanted me to go further back on the pavement... that however would also go against the highway code because people wouldnt see me or my intention to cross.
Anyway i made them show me the "faulty" belt which wasnt faulty... just trying to scam me... pretended to try to fasten it saying it wont do up! I went in did it and pulled hard to show it was fine, he went back and changed it to a pass... just shows... no.1 go prepared, no.2 ALWAYS stand your ground. That seems to go with every subject in life. As to the woman i dont know what was wrong with her... if she was having a bad day or if she truly doesnt know the rules of the road! It does upset me, but i thought the best of her at first, thinking she was giving way, maybe she was in a rush for something important, maybe she was afraid for my kids (though well behaved and in control and not in danger at all) safety...it is hard sometimes to look at people in an unbiased, non judgmental way, we get angry that they dont understand us and what we are going through (though invisible) and yet we dont do the same for others... water babies comes to mind...
