There's a lot of chatter about parenting advice blogs. About how there are too many, most are fucking stupid and practically all of them are getting paid through ad's to get the idiotic message to you- the consumer of bullshit advice from people that probably don't have kids. Or don't raise them themselves or just suck as humans.
This is not one of them. I just spelled "advice" wrong both times in that last paragraph. If you take anything away from my blog, don't let it be advice of either the spelling, grammar or parenting. This is merely a way for you to waste 5 minutes as you sign into your work computer and pretend to start your day. This is for you, sucka.
Why do people assume they know dick about what you do or what works for your family?
I am always, ALWAYS under the impression that I don't know shit about other peoples lives. That I could not AND would not want to live their life, so the last thing I am going to do is talk shit about the way they are doing it.
Lately it has been coming to my attention that I am being judged. Left and motherfucking right.
Ya, I know, "who cares?" and all of that and for the most part I agree. Who cares?
Well. Me.
Now I care.
Someone told me one time (my therapist) that if something that someone else says bothers you, you are probably feeling guilt about it. That maybe there is a shred of truth in what they are saying.
She was a bitch and I never went back.
I think the human mind can only put up with so much. We are not equipped to hold our tongue forever. It's not natural.
But lets not get off point here.
What I am talking about is that there are people in our lives, all of us, who do not agree with what we are doing in life. They find it their business to speak out to let you know that you are making a mistake, that you are doing it wrong and I just want to stand against that. I want everyone to know that unless you came out of my vagina- you have no say in what I do. None. Nothing. Fuck off.

I absolutely love your blog! Judgmental people can suck it! I just recently quit my job to be a full time stay at home mom and take care of my disabled mother and oh holy shit did the haters come out! At first I was like whatever don't care! But I do. I hate that I let condiscending comments get to me. I love reading about your parenting style and I gotta say it looks like you and eddy are doing a damn good job!
ReplyDeleteWell thank you! I absolutely love that you are reading. Seriously. I started this blog years ago to document our travels so my family could keep up with us- turns out they were only looking at the pictures.
ReplyDeleteSo I stopped posting pics and kept writing. I will look back on this one day and think I was totally insane or truly amazing. Too soon to tell. HA!
I am no genius but parenting doesn't have to be rocket science... just regualr science.
I was just thinking about writing how there are so many parents out there that sit idle by and wonder why their kids are turning out one way and others another. It is not a job, there's no monetary value coming to us but it is hard work and I think there are a lot of people out there just think it's something you have and try to keep alive for 18 years.
Stay tuned.
