Oh man I'm glad I'm not the only one getting harsh words said to me today hehehhehhehehehhehehehehehe. Hippylandscaper it's easier said than done but I wouldn't worry about what the closed-minded assholes thought. It's so easy to worry about hurtful actions though. I can see why you would worry, it's hurtful and you don't want your kids to suffer. I got picked on in school, I know. Hope this makes you feel better. By the way I like the blue, it's very pretty. Hell I'll get criticized for this font. I don't usually write this big.
but seriously i judge and there are plenty of people just like me who judge. it makes me feel great to judge people and for them to feel the wrath of my judgement.
Sorry if it seemed like I was judging parents who take their kids to day care, I know some parents can't stay home iwth thier kids, and have to send them to day care. But, i know a few who send their kids to day care, on their days off, like they don't want to put up with their kids. It's like why did you have them in the first place? It's more my husband who gets judged than me. Im what you call "normal looking."
I know what you mean. My cousin and his wife had two children and I think his wife was way too young. Or immature, really, since if you look around here you'll find plenty of decent 21 year old mothers (now she's 25, the oldest is 4, the youngest 3). Anyway, I still haven't met their little girl, and when you go over to the house, you can't even tell children live there if it weren't for their little bedrooms. My aunt and uncle have those kids a majority of the time and apparently my cousin hasn't even bothered teaching his kid ANYTHING, so he's farther behind most 4 year olds, but has so much potential. What a waste.
I am able to be a stay at home mom, but both my parents had to work so that we could have a house and food to eat. I survived it. I really hate when people turn that into a contest about parenting with snide comments. As a parent I reserve the right to judge who my kids are around. It's how I keep them safe. Yup, I JUDGE. I don't love everyone. I am a parent first. If someone looks sketchy to me I really couldn't care less about their feelings. Also, sometimes people really do have to leave a place. I know my kids will go and try to start up a new game with someone the minute I tell them we need to leave, so it may look like I am taking them away for another reason but it isn't.
all i can add is get used to it It wont stop with the playground and walking around the neighborhood. When the ruggies have school functions(if you send them to a school) or other group like functions you will still be the freaks and the weird ppl. Yer different therefore it makes you fair game to single out. You will always be dirtier, nastier, more disgusting in your lifestyle and ways no matter what it is you choose to do in life. You will also be dumber and most likely labeled with a "druggy" type label. It is just how it is... Just smile at them and go on doin whatever it is yer doin. Pay them no mind and know that they all live with a little box and no matter what you do to prove yourself to them you will still be the freaks. yours truly the village FREAK!
