Great reply. Thanks. Huge discussion in some ways

In this specific scenario, something factual that was delivered to a group of people, was received very poorly by them, via a WhatsApp group, in spite of being asked to remove themselves from the topic (boundaries around kids and parenting requests eg no screens no kissing)

It’s absolutely ok to show emotion. It should be absolutely ok to share it. It should be absolutely ok to be yourself

What happened is others were triggered, and the situation blew up into something much bigger

All the triggers meant people projected their emotions on others

Hence it’s important to take accountability to our own emotions. No one can manage them accept yourself. Recognise them. Allow them.

If we tried to live life always worrying about other peoples emotions we would be burnt out in weeks
