You'd have to think there's a balance to be struck there

As on the Travellers thread with regard to Rosa, some don't want balance, it's simply the case that they are right and anyone dissenting from that is not just wrong but actively evil.
Of course I sympathise with the lady who's son died but come on, what's she gonna do, lock herself up for three months a year to avoid all mention of Christmas? There comes a time when you have to move on, part of that involves being exposed to reminders of the source of your pain.

And who THE FUCK are you to say when that time is for this person?

You do what you can do accommodate people, same as everything. If they ask you don't do a thing around them you try not to do it.

You've missed the word 'Balance'. Of course you try accommodate people but to ask that no one talks about family, death or Christmas is nonsensical.

i would also prefer that no-one talk about family, death or christmas

In the interests of balance it's pretty nonsensical for you to decide when it is that someone needs to 'move on'.

I'd find it perfectly possible to make sure that I didn't talk about death, family or Christmas within earshot of a co-worker.

How exactly do you not talk about Christmas at Christmas?

It's Christmas then.

hahahha

You just walk 5 second away out of earshot. It's obviously impossible at all times but...

I never attempted to dictate the time that anyone should 'move on', I simply stated that that time must come.

As I'm sure most would but what at Christmas time? What if a co-worker gets pregnant or their partner dies? Is everyone to sneak about as on eggshells? These are big life events and its only natural that people will want to talk about them.

Could be a good drinking game.

Listen if someone's partner dies and you insist on talking loudly about it in front of them AND another bereaved person because IT'S ONLY NATURAL THAT I WANNA TALK ABOUT IT M8.... just go ahead. Fuck it what do I care

No ones talking about it loudly, we talk about things at the usual conversational level.
I was referring to people talking about their personal lives, not me/whoever talking about the lives of others.
