6 pieces of advice that you think are obvious,
but some people just need to hear
1. When commenting on my children's good looks, don't finish the compliment with "What is he?" or "Is he mixed?" with a condescending smirk on your face. Then when I answer with "yes he is mixed..half human/half alien" don't look at ME like I am the crazy one. You should say, "Is he biracial/mulatto?" or simply ask me his "ethnicity". There is nothing wrong with my children. They can not help who they are or whom they came from. They are color blind when it comes to love as should all human beings. I can't help it that they are irresistibly cute, smart and sweet. Be nice! You do not have to always be politically correct if you don't have the condescending stare but remember I am their Mother and I will defend them. You are likely to get an earful, corrected or simply straight up told you hope their child didn't inherit their ugly, ignorant genes! And may the Lord above watch over you if you EVER call MY child a mutt, Oreo or the loathsome "N" word! A mutt is a dog! An Oreo is a cookie! The use of the "N" word should be outlawed!! I pity the person who would utter these remarks!
Wow sorry about that! Didn't mean for that to be so long but then I just started thinking and typing.......I can rant and ramble when it comes to that topic!! Shan, you understand!!!
2. I am a beautiful big girl! I know many beautiful big girls! HOWEVER, I don't care how much YOU love your body if you are obese YOU SHOULD NOT WEAR A BIKINI! Be proud ~ yes ~ but we ALL don't want to see it!
3. If you have a gut then buy pants that fit. Do NOT buy super low cut jeans with your gut hanging over the top and hanging out below your shirt!! If you have to lift the gut up to unbutton or button the jeans, THEY DO NOT FIT!
4. To the skinny girls who look cute in the low rise jeans: I don't want to see your crack EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you bend over, crouch down or take a step. Yes you are cute but by the next size up so you can be even cuter!!
5. Do not scream at me from your car when the windows are down unless you know my window is up! I do have children and even if you aren't cussing they don't need to learn from you or your music so loud it could wake the dead! If they are not with me, I will scream right back at you and you will be shocked that my window is also down, I have a mild case of psychosis and I can follow you home in my truck that is bigger than yours!!!! Bwahahahaha..........LOL........JUST KIDDING........maybe!!
6. PUT YOUR CHILD IN THE CAR SEAT AND STRAP THEM IN!
LUV 4..that's a good one.
ReplyDeleteas for number 1 your children are beautiful
Very good advice - #4 cracks me up!
ReplyDeleteSome people are so dumb. Everyone in America is a mix of something now a days. So what. And, I want to know why they even make bikinis in certain sizes.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people could be so rude. love your response to them! #4 made my list as well, no one wants to see that!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people still don't put their children in car seats even after all the unnecessary horror stories we've heard.
ReplyDeletehalf human half alien! that's a GREAT response!
ReplyDeleteactually, i love all your advice! you tell 'em mommma!
Your list is really good and you are absolutely right with #1!!!!! I can't believe people especially today still act like that and use those words!! IGNORANT!! :)
ReplyDeleteGood rant girl. I like that. I do genealogy and I would sometimes have to ask a question about race to obviously find information, but to ask someone just out of curiosity...well that is just unacceptable.
ReplyDeleteAmen. And I still think your children are beautiful and I don't care "what they are". Mine are both blond and everyone asks if we are German (yes)Swedish (yes) (and Italian from their dad) and I have had people say "oh, little Nazis!"
ReplyDeleteUm, no.
have a great friend who raised her children in the 1970s where many smirks were around I whole heartly agree with you and stand by your stance on the subject
ReplyDeleteGREAT POST!!! LOVED #1...well written!!! When someone asks me ignorant questions I just look at them and then walk off...not worth my time and I am sure they really don't want my attention! lol
ReplyDeleteGREAT GREAT GREAT ADVISE!!! I love every single one of them! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love #1-good for you too. Anyone who makes those comments needs a good swift kick to the head. BTW, your kiddos pics are adorable!
ReplyDeleteGreat list!
You got an AMEN from me. Maybe even a HALLELUJAH! I HAVE had my child called an OREO, and am no stranger to people telling me how beautiful she is, then asking "What is she?" My thought is always "WTH? Can't you tell she's a human?" I do not mind when people ask if she is part Black, or part Hispanic, or part Italian, or Greek, or Jordanian...yes, I've had all of those. But seriously, the next time I'm walking into a store and someone yells "She mixed?"- go ahead and call 911- there's gonna be a beatin'! Oh, also- I stand by my "Just because they make it in your size doesn't mean you need to wear it" motto. Amen. Can we all stand and sing hymn #93?
ReplyDeleteAWESOME LIST! I, too, am a big beautiful girl. I cover my stuff up. If I don't want to see my own rolls, I most certainly don't want to see yours!
ReplyDeleteAs for the skinny girls? My Hubs and I always say "Eat a burger, Biatch! Oh, hell, eat two!" LOL
BTW, the new background under the posts area is beautimous!
Oh sweety....I could go on for hours on the names that Xavier has been called at school. And the ignorant parents those children must have. Fourth grade has been a really rough year for all of us. On the flip side, I have a little OCD when it comes to Xavier's "girlfriend"...and I have read a few of the notes he has been bringing home, and she almost always writes in them..."I love your chocolate skin". He is now hearing from the girls the things that we told him he would eventually hear. It has boosted him up a bit, but still a lot to overcome for him to accept himself just as he is.
