Wake Up. Seriously.

Next on the list. Mothers and their children. Now, I'm not a mother--and there is not a whole lot I can say about this topic. BUT--if other adults don't like to be around your child, you have a problem. If other children don't like to be around your child, you have a problem. If animals don't like to be around your child, you have a problem. Your CHILD does not have a problem, YOU have the problem. Accept that there may be something wrong--a learning disorder, a psychological disorder, something...and help that child to GET BETTER. Don't ignore the problem OR assume that society will correct the problem for you. And DON'T tell that child to "tattle" on adults that have been "mean to you." That is sick--immature--and SELFISH. Don't get offended when other adults discipline your child. As a matter of fact, what you should be doing is sitting back and evaluating the situation. Why are other adults disciplining your child? Could it possibly be that your child gets no discipline at home? That your child ACTS OUT because he is craving attention and will get it any way he knows how? Just wake up. Seriously. The second you gave birth to that child, your life changed. That "all about me" attitude should have walked out the door. It's not about you anymore. It's about your child. And raising that child to be the best human being possible. I'd say--running off friends, talking back to adults, no sense of authority, no sense of respect, no sense of doing wrong--heh, while we're at it, HARMING ANIMALS ON PURPOSE--is not the right track. Wake up.
