Lots of talk about being a bully on the net today. It got me thinking....which is a very dangerous thing. I was going to make a video but, I have a horrible habit of throwing in the f bomb when I get really heated....at least if I type it, delete handles is much more efficiently. Any how... I have a few opinions on a few things
People that wander around the world in their pajamas, it is tacky. It shows a lack of self respect. I am not talking about being at the ER at 3 am with a sick child. I am talking about cruising the mall with your BFF in your scooby jammies and fluffy slippers.
Individuals that wear clothes that don't fit them...whether to big or to small. Again to me it lacks self respect.
Parents that do not take the time to make sure their children are presentable. Children can't learn what you do not teach.
Individuals who feel they are entitled to something just by virtue of who they are or who they married. Everything I have I earned. Freebies are great and they come well appreciated.
In regards to jammies in public I have often been told to be considerate of their situation. What situation excuses you from being a presentable individual? Depression? Having small children?? Having a deployed spouse?? I am not talking about the random woman standing at the pharmacy pick up window. I am talking about the individuals that are constantly looking like slobs. You know that mom you avoid because she smells bad or the woman you avoid talking to because she is wearing bright pink pajama pants.
**yes most of my examples are women....I haven't seen to many men out in bright pink pj pants. I am sure they exist but let's stay on topic**
When it comes to consideration where do we draw the line? Would you be comfortable is your physician walked into the exam room wearing obviously dirty clothes/scrubs? Would you allow them to exam you? I know I wouldn't. I expect people to have a level of self respect for themselves and those around them. That goes for children as well. If people see my children consistently dirty, uncombed and in clothes that is ill fitting. That is a direct reflection on me as a parent. I do not want to be seen as a mother who doesn't take the time her children need.
I am a married mother of three, my husband has been deployed 3 times....excuses only go so far. Stop being a slob, show you have respect for yourself and for those you represent.
Ill fitting clothes size 14 does not translate to size 5. If your pants don't stay at your waist, buy a belt! I don't need to say any more about that!
I don't think having these opinions makes me a bully. They may make me judgmental, but I hold myself to these same standards. I may not look like a million dollars at all times....but you won't catch me out with my shopping in my sweat pants!
The overall topic of bullying has gotten a bit out of control as well. Kids have disagreements. If people would teach their children how to stand up for themselves. I was the nerd kid in school, I wore glasses, I had braces and I could tear through a book when given the chance. Was I bullied?? I am sure I was at some point. However, my mother taught us that bullies don't know pick on kids that stand up for themselves. Make your kids feel important at home so they know they can defend themselves.
