Crikey that was some reading
To me the 'see if' and 'you may want to try' talk is fairly new to me. When I joined - very recently - I was still greeted with so when are you going to a meeting? Everything else has failed only this will work... I paraphrase but there was certainly no - see if this works for you, perhaps try this... I remember having to explain that I was a single parent and couldn't get out in the evenings... blah blah thinking why should I have to explain myself?

Exactly this ^^^^ I posted my last thread about needing structure and making times in the day to do certain things, get out more and one of those things was not spend ALL my time on SR. I got told - so the only recovery method you have is SR and you're going to give less time to that too.
Sigh. I think my response was appropriate. That was a prime example though of my offerings, desired goals, requirements, whatever falling short.
