Unfortunately, a week doesn't go by when I wish I would have worded something differently. Whether for the purpose of getting my point across more effectively or because I stuck my giant foot in my mouth again, I usually have doubt over what I say several times a month.
I am currently helping run a flag football/cheerleading league. It has been very stressful what with also being a full time student and mother of three. There has been countless times these last few months where I had the opportunity to voice my opinion but was practically shut down before even considered. It's very frustrating to feel like you don't have a voice in the matter, especially when you donate hours of your time to something.
When I look back on the times when I felt my opinion was not considered, I see now that I wasn't able to sucessfully get my views across.
There are other aspects of my life where my arguementative skills get much better use, especially when it deals with home or domestic issues. One of the ways I parent my children is to express to them way something needs to be a certain way or way something was wrong and am usually sucessful in having them see my views. Almost shockingly sucessful, since it's dealing with children.
