I have a problem with teaching kids the other gender is after only one thing/untrustworthy in some way, to prevent teen sex. My parents did this with my brother. Bro was taught to not trust women (even by my mother) that they will try to get pregnant/steal his money or ruin his life in some way. My father even modelled this behaviour towards my mom. So guess what, my (hetero) brother never married/barely had a girlfriend. He is 40 & hasn't been able to get over it. It nags away at him while dating. Parents are surprised/sad there's no wife/grandkids Really? He's only doing what you taught him
When I was dealing with anorexia during my teenage years, people sent me mixed messages. I was a dancer so on one side, I had my dance teacher and fellow dancers telling me how gorgeous and tiny I was. On the the other side, I had people telling me that I looked disgusting and that I should "go eat a cheeseburger". At the end of the day, both sides made me want to starve myself. I wanted to be pretty and dance and I also wanted to die.
I think breastfeeding is so gross. So many things about kids are gross. how they grow inside you, rip through your vagina coming out, scream and poop, throw tantrums, make messes and then become sullen teenagers. Plus they are expensive. I'm not having any.
I hate going anywhere with my SIL. We are both big gals in our 40's but she insists on dressing like a teenager wearing skimpy camis and short shorts. And then when we hit Starbucks or pretty much any store she thinks that all the younger men are checking her out because she is hot. No 17 year old hunk of man wants either of us. Trust me.
So glad I don't have to say "Happy Mother's Day" to my teen daughters.
I get stereotyped in a lot of areas. I am a black woman so if I am not smiling I've had people say I must be angry. I look really young so I deal with people assuming I am a teenage mom. My DH's ex assumes I must hate sd, but she is my cutesy pie. My Dh is high ranking military so I must be a lazy gold digger. Nope I am a Psychologists who works from a home office since Dh's schedule is not his own. People think I am stuck up since I can be quiet at times, but I am very aware of my flaws.
growing up, my mother was a binge drinking alcoholic that abandoned me over the course of my teen years due to her addiction. she didn't teach me much in the way of things most mothers teach, but she always drilled in me "you are worth first place, never second. you are worth everything in this world." i think she would remind me because of her own self worth issues. so when i say "if he cheats, i'm gone" it's because i know i'm worth more than second place.
As a teen I was told "only the guilty get angry when accused. So you must be guilty." I was always getting frustrated and angry when being accused. Then I was told "your not defending yourself so your guilty." OK What the hell do you do? The problem is I still think like that! DAMN I am a Idiot sometimes. I just hope I don't pass that way of thinking on to my kids.
I was a young teen when my two cousins were born. I loved them SO much, like they were my own. My parents both died before I was 20, so my aunt and uncle became my unofficial parents and have treated me as such, even helping me out financially if needed. My aunt just told me they are leaving me 25% of their estate in their wills. My aunt told me my cousins are upset - they think it should only be 10%. This makes me sad. I didn't know my cousins thought so little of me.
Our bed was on sexy fire last night! So hot that I didn't know hubby did this, but I woke up with a hickie (size of a quarter) on my neck! I feel like a teenage girl or a chola! LOL. oh well. Thanks honey! it was worth it!
