Etiquette - The only people who understand are the ones in the same situation as you… but can you trust them to talk to


The only people who understand are the ones in the same situation as you… but can you trust them to talk to.
I worked out a long time ago about governessing, that the only ones who understand the situation and job is other people living in the same environment, doing the same job. 
You need to choose who you use as a sounding board carefully.  I have three trusted mates from one from high school and two from governessing.  I know they will listen while I bitch about my job, never repeat, never interfere but offer advice if they think I am ready to listen.  They also won’t tell my parents who would try and protect me. 
Choosing a person you have only know for a year can be difficult.

  1. This is very true you need that support group who know what you are talking about and who probably have the same issues pop up. You just have to be careful who you say what to because otherwise it'll bite you in the butt. Luckily the last couple of years there has been a great support system around here.
