To Me This Is Just Being A Parent...

There are a lot of things that go on in this world that I do not think is right. Many of these things are permitted and accepted in today’s society. I often go through life not responding too many of these things that do not directly affect me. What my neighbors do is not a big concern to me, how they live or what they believe is of little concern to me, as long as they stay in their yard…


Politicians and public figures that live a certain life styles that I do not agree with I often speak out about because their beliefs are often used to persuade the public making things that I do not believe acceptable seem acceptable …and if we just ignore it the it becomes the norm..

But when it comes to my family, especially my children, if I think they are doing something wrong, or something that is harmful to them I will always will voice my opinion about it. My advice is often not accepted or followed …It is usually not appreciated or wanted…And I do understand this and I do accept that it is their lives and they have to live it how they see fit….but I will never just stand by and not say anything…especially now since all of their decisions directly affect my Grand children.

Fleta once wrote her rule of living was never do anything you would be ashamed to tell anyone you have done….This is a good way to live ones life…I have always considered this my rule of living… I have never made a decision in my life without first thinking how this would affect my children. And upon making any decision I always chose the one that I thought would be best for my kids. I have done this all of my life, even after my kids are grown.

Now these decisions have not always been the best thing looking back with 20-20 hind site but at the time I gave it great thought and I always tried to choose what was best for them, not me.
