She was affectionate, but she was irresponsible in a lot of ways.

I'm only sorry that I wasn't out there to do something about it. But I'm in here. My hands are tied.

I blame him for losing his temper, but I blame her for bringing him into our house. She let that abuse happen.

I won't try to describe the various ways I tried to get the cake plate back to her without being confronted with a request for my judgment of her cake. Suffice to say that her well-intentioned favor interfered with my own plans.

It's so irresponsible to use that kind of imagery, in many ways it becomes meaningless. It really obscures and confuses rather than helps.

I'm an affectionate person.
