Our future...
So I had a comment in my e-mail. Intelligent fellow, I think, I'm actually not quite sure if he was questioning my writing ability or his own intelligence....but anyhow, he said I should write as a mom so here goes.
Standard keepmyassoutoftrouble statement-no insult real or imagined intended for anyone as long as you have a certain level of morals and class. If you don't, consider yourself insulted.
So. What are we teaching our kids. Brittney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Etc. What are these women thinking. So you make some money, your face is on the front page, that gives you the right to be a... What is the word? Who the hell goes out and conducts themselves in a manner that photographs of certain parts can be taken? Ohh, I'm a celebrity, how about I get plastered and get my picture on the Enquirer-Hey, look at me, I'm fucked up!! Good times.
My Mother always said If you are going to wear a dress, you will act like a lady. There was no wiggle room there.
My little girl is learning the same thing. You chose to wear the dress, you will learn how to behave. Makeup? on a 5 year old? Hell no. There will be no high heels, there will be no spaghetti straps, who the hell is that woman on my TV showing her bra to the viewing public. No belly buttons shown, no piercings, you live in my house you will follow my rules. Who are these people that put their kids in beauty pagents, dress them up to parade around in costumes that scream sex, don't they grow up fast enough?
Modesty. Where did it go?
What is going on in our country that some of the most well known people seem to get married and divorced on a whim. Yeah, shot a movie together, true love, divorce and marrige in less than a year. Sorry, That was infatuation the next one will last longer. Hey honey, he cheated on her with you, ya really think he won't cheat on you? Disposable relationships.
Damn. I do not have words to express my disgust for some of the things I see in our world. Sadly, many of them are invited into our living rooms. TV shows that talk about casual sex as if it is a part of everday life-oh, wait, it is! The morning after pill. Should it be legal? Don't go screw around, er, have unprotected sex, you won't need to worry about if you can get the damn pill!
And if any one feels this post is sexist, aimed at females conducting themselves poorly - it is. Guess what, that is the way it is. There is a difference. Women need to conduct themselves differently than men do. Been that way for forever. Deal.
Who do you want your daughter to be?
