Ah, but you see..I DON'T talk about my pets nonstop...precisely because I wouldn't want someone to do the same to me. About their pets, their kids, anything really. I like variety, and lots of it. My mind tends to be completely one-track, but each subject lasts about two weeks, so I don't think I drive anybody insane. (I certainly try not to!)

I censor myself for other people. If I know they're afraid of snakes I don't bring them up at all. I have a friend who feels that keeping ANY animal in captivity is cruelty, no matter what. So I keep my moth shut and we agree to disagree. I don't bring up my pagan religious views to my catholic family. I expect people to extend the same curtosy to me.

People need to expand their lives beyond children. There are more things in the world, and if someone's kids are their entire world...I feel bad for the kids!

If someone expressed to you that something you were talking about made them uncomfortable, would you continue to talk about it?
