Here’s The Thing …

Pigeon_StatueIn relationships, you gotta take the good with the bad.

You gotta take the other person’s good, as well as their bad.  They in turn, have to take your good and your bad.  This holds true in all relationships – friendships, family relationships, one-on-one relationships, etc.

You know what I’m saying?  It’s like …

Sometimes, there is a pigeon and there is a statue.

And sometimes, you just gotta be the statue.

    Not me.

    I’m always the pigeon.

    Heeeyyyyy, wait a second….

  2. Danielle Says:

    Short, to the point and really touched something in me. I really need to start being the statue.
    Thanks

    ROFLMAO!!!!! I LOVE IT!
    Sometimes, you just gotta look the person in the eye and beg: “Please may I have more of your crap???”

  4. strugglingwriter Says:

    And you get pooped on a lot in both scenarios. :)

  5. T Says:

    Yeah but then later, you’re looking back at all the crap and wondering, “At what point should I have shooed that pigeon away?”

    Because we get so used to the crap, that we can’t tell when too much is TOO MUCH.

  6. jenn3 Says:

    True, but I also agree with T. Sometimes enough is enough. But I guess it depends on the situation.

    And as Mary Chapin Carpenter sang, “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug.”

  8. Canadian Bald Guy Says:

    LMAO @ T. She’s soooo right. You need to be the statue, but at some point you gotta just call it a day.

  9. QTMama Says:

    Yes T and CaNook! And when it’s time to call it a day? You become the pigeon!

    Huh? What? Um. Sorry, I’m still a little preoccupied with your number 10 from two days ago.

  11. MindyMom Says:

    I agree with T, but will add that one should not always be the pigeon or always the statue.

    But wouldn’t it be *cool* if you could have a relationship that was more like tongue and groove? You both support each other and the whole is more strong than the pieces? Plus is kind of naughty sounding as a bonus. Just a thought.

  13. Amira Says:

    So then who CLEANS the statue? Or is that another post…?

  14. dadshouse Says:

    I’m sorry, but I disagree. I won’t let a woman shit all over me. Been there, done that. Never again. Relationships are a two way street, and you do need to accept the good and bad, but you don’t have to put up with everything.

  15. QTMama Says:

    DUDES!

    My whole point of this post was that it IS a two way street! Not that you should let yourself get shit on! *laugh*

    And putting up with things in a relationship, it’s about compromise. That was my point!

    SHEESH *smacks forehead*

  16. randomesq Says:

    Er, yeah, I don’t think it would make much sense, especially in the context of QT’s personality, to write an entry with the message, “Sometimes, you gotta let people shit all over you.”

    heh.

    BUT OH THE INDIGNATION IF SHE DID.

    QT – I FULLY expect a confession of drunken phone calls from you. *cough*

    -R.

  17. QTMama Says:

    RE – You should see the bruises I have from the bite marks! DAMN.

  18. randomesq Says:

    QT – Don’t let Besos hear you say that. I don’t want you two getting matching choke chains for the biters in your lives. :P

    -R.
