"Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"

[easybreakable]

I was chatting with one of the poetry mentors last night and actually he suggested something and I told him the reason for using that specific "expression" then he said that saying and added that my own opinion was right from the beginning..... I was a bit shy to ask, would you please explain this saying to me :roll:

It's a little difficult to understand that. Who said what? Are you asking the meaning of "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater"?

 

[easybreakable]

Yes, I'm asking about that.

Throw the baby out with the bath water

 

[easybreakable]

So he meant "without my own expression" the whole meaning would have been lost!

Thanks mod!

I am afraid unless you give us the whole context, no one will be able to answer this.

Are you sure you know what 'without consideration' means? A foolish person might consider something very carefully before throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
