so, I know I suck at keeping up with this :(
I haven't updated in over a month! I'm down 50 lbs since late April! Yippee! I can't say it's been easy, but it's been a great thing for me. I feel so much better about myself, so much happier with who I am. I still have a long way to go, but I'm getting there!
Anyway, I wanted to put this out there. I just read a blog post (by an internet famous blogger) who encountered a mom at the grocery store with her 2 children. The eldest of two was a toddler and was throwing quite the tantrum and could be heard from the other side of the store. He went on to talk about passing her on the aisle, and another young man blurted something about how people should learn to control their f***ing children. Umm, for real guy?
I then went on to read the comments, and I was freaking FLOORED! I can't believe how many people were on there (non-parents, mostly) talking about how annoying it is to hear kids screaming in the store, how everyone who has screaming toddlers in a store is a bad parent, can't discipline their kids, etc. Umm.....ok? Yes, while it is annoying (even to us MOM's sometimes!) to hear other kids scream (mostly because it causes a chain reaction, at least in our case), THAT'S WHAT KIDS DO! They are learning how to mold themselves into a functioning member of society. I swear my toddler is smarter than some adults I've spoken to, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the occasional meltdown. People were saying moms should leave their kids at home when they have things to do. Sure, let me hire a babysitter and get them over here when I just need to go to the store for milk... how logical is that??
What are your thoughts?
