Poll......how many times do you NOT do what you say you are going to do?!
Question: I try to follow through, if I say I am going to do something, I try with all my heart to do it, my daughter on the other hand will tell me anything to make me happy, but she doesn't follow through

I'm with you, Judy...It must have to do with being older and knowing the value of being able to rely on others and to be relied on. The interesting thing is that if someone else doesn't follow through after telling me they will, they erode their credibility with me. At a certain point, they have destroyed ALL credibility with me, and I will no longer deal with them. The opposite is true where I am concerned...I want to be credible to others. Simple as that. I am Sirius
At least twice a week. I'm usually pretty good about getting what I want when I have my mind set on it though.
haha, lot of times
so many times....its never a live or death situation though
i NEVER do anything i say i'm gonna!!!....lol
Daily there is at least one instance, usually more, of not following through. Sigh.
im kinda like ur daughter i do the same thing but then there are times when i actually do try and ijust cant followthru
Most of the time! I'm guilty(;
Daily, everyday I say I am going to go home and sweep the living room and I still haven't yet!
nice hood, you cold too? lol
i always do mat i say im gonna do
Every time. Sometimes I just take a little longer to complete the task than others.
My advice: give a specific timeline for each task. Be patient.
How old is your daughter? If she's a teenager...that's what teenagers do!
; )
I'm with you, though. I like for my friends, family and co-workers to know they can take my word to the bank!
It's the complete opposite with me and my mom.
My mom always tells me she's going to come and see my new apartment. I've had it for 5 months and she hasn't come once even though she's told me she would. Whenever I say I'm going to come and see her, I always show up.
That's just the way people are I guess..
Never, I always have to. You can't forget with a 1 year old child and a husband that works 6 days a week.
Everyone falls short of perfection, but I try to keep it to a minimum. 95% of the time I follow through.
It might be delayed sometimes, but I generally tend to do what I say I will.
As for your daughter, kids do that to their parents. I do the same to my mother - anything to make her happy, then I just ignore it.
I try to keep my promises.
I have a rule, if i cant keep the promise, dont make it.
My friends never keep their promises, its getting me down =(
I try to keep my word to everyone especially my son... if I can't keep my word than he won't keep his word to me If I promise my son something then I will bend over backward to do that for him and it might be something simple like buy him an ice cream cone but I will make sure I do that for him that night
Once a month maybe.........dunno........doesn't happen frequently though. When I say I'm gonna do something, I go do it. If I don't wanna do it, I don't say it. Easy as that I guess...............................dunn...
All the time......
i try to do what i say i am going to do but sometimes you can't always do it
I always try to follow through with everything that I say I am going to do, or I don't say I am going to do it in the first place. I really think it through because I know what it feels like when someone does not pull through with something they say they are going to do when it has to do with me. It really sucks to be let down... =( So I do always follow through unless some freak accident happens... I have learned from my mistakes....
once a week, about.
If I make a promise, I do everything in my power to fulfill it, or I have a jolly good reason why I can't.
Sometimes, though, I might say something like "I'm going shopping tonight", but when tonight rolls around I'm just not motivated to do it.
most of the time cause im a compulsive lie so most of what i say is rubish comeing out of my mouth
lots a time about 20 times a day it just the way i am
I want to! Really DO want to!!! But somehow my apathy and laziness get the best of me.
I always regret it though. Like today for example: I wish I had studied harder 'coz I'm pretty sure I'm flunking today's exam!!!
GOD! GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
