MOM RANT MONDAY!!!
Hola Chicas! Good morning and all that happy crap... ;-) First, I'd like to apologize for my lack of posts last week, my daughter came down with a nasty little 24 hr stomach bug that hit the entire house pretty hard. I mean, projectile vomiting and the whole gambit, so...yeah. But she's doing much better, as the rest of the house, so here I am!
I see the above situation happen far too often, especially in the African American community, and it saddens me. The issue is, too many babies are having babies and not being brought up with a strong foundation of morals and discipline. This is merely just my humble opinion, mind you, but when my brothers and I were kids, we were raised in church and were taught to mind our manners...ya know, please and thank you, excuse me and so forth. Is it so damn difficult to get a please or thank you from a kid nowadays??? We were taught to hold the door open for the person behind us and to respect the elderly. These days, you have kids cussing their own parents out!
As a parent myself, I refuse to raise a lazy, ungrateful, disrespectful brat. Or at least I'm gonna try my best not to...I don't believe in "being a friend" to my child. Don't get me wrong, I want her to trust and confide in me, but I want her love and respect more than anything. It would be my dream to raise a child who contributes to society in a positive way, not just a lazy, entitled waste of skin who thinks the world owes her a living. Being that children don't come with instructions, it's still a learning process for me as well. All I can do is pray and ask God to guide me to make the right decisions regarding how I raise my baby, and help me to teach her to be a better person than I was.
