Often times people are so set in their ways, they often don’t use the proper responses to when someone is helping them or doing something to aid them, and it isn’t to their liking. They immediately jump on what the person may or may not be doing wrong, compared to the way they would have done it.
I consider it quite rude for someone to criticize another person, although they are attempting to help with the situation (whatever it may be). Let them do it their own way, while they watch you do it your way and they’ll eventually learn the whole thing and how you want it to be.
But, when you go out of your way to make them feel an inch tall, they might not even offer to help you or anyone else again.
Case and point, I recently helped a relative cook dinner. I do it a bit differently that this person does it, but I was criticized and somewhat humiliated because I didn’t do it the “right way”, which of coarse was “their way”. Never mind you that I have a Culinary Degree, graduating at the top of my class, or that I have years of Culinary experience before and after Culinary school. Nope, I just didn’t do it right (in their eyes).
But then, when a third party came in and saw the result of what we had both cooked, she looked at the food I had prepared versus the food that the other person prepared, then she criticized the other person’s food. Then the accuser felt the sting of harsh words and criticism, but I thought she needed a little taste of her own medicine, so I sat back in bliss.
Karma- what goes around comes around…
