Do Your Skids View Any Criticism as "Judgement?" (RANT)

OSS (just turned 18) has an unrelenting theme on his FB page. "Don't point fingers at me" "Don't judge me" "You're not perfect either"

I figure it comes from the fact they were raised with no boundaries and no one telling them "no" or "don't do that." They were told that everything they do is "speshul" and they should be accepted no matter WHAT they do.

No one can give ANYONE any constructive criticism these days as everyone's skin is thinner than a micron.

He's starting to get tats now and I'm sure that will be the theme of almost all of them. This has been going on for quite a while. Back in '12 he said he was getting bullied:

Let me see, a six foot, 240 lb 10th grader with flaming red hair, ghostly skin and features; who dressed like a clown in school, weird bandanas, dying his hair black back in 6th grade who THINKS he's a rock star and has ZERO musical talent. Yeah, I can't see why he's being "judged." :barf:

The only reason you were stalking her social media was cause you were looking for something. ( with my wtf are you talking about face)
And now you got what you deserved.

No my all time favorite is " I am 18 and I can do whatever I want"

My SD is only 6 so she doesn't think people are judging her, she just says everyone is "mean" to her. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree though. What you described sounds exactly like BM. She is constantly changing jobs because her co-workers supposedly judge her and are mean to her. It's never her fault apparently, yet she always seems to be the common denominator. SD has already adopted this victim mentality and I'm sure she'll end up being just like BM.

I figured as much. So I can come to you as the years go on for advice on how to deal with her? If not advice, I'm sure you could at least give me a head's up on what to expect next.

My SS is of the "I'm Tall! Why am I being judged?" variety...

There's a sign just inside BD's daycare center. I pass by it every day but it is only the day that BD stopped me to get me to tell her what it says did I actually read it:

There are people that are better than me. There are people that are worse than me. BUT NO ONE, is like me!

She asked me what it meant and I replied "It means you're special....without sounding pretentious."
