Things That Bother Me

Many of you that know me well would say that I am very opinionated. That is a bit of an understatement. I am honest and blunt. During the course of this summer many issues have come out to play. These are some of my hard-hitting rants that I think everyone will agree with, but you are all afraid to say.

We are losing our language.  It is no longer an interagural part of our education. I personally believe that hand-writing will no longer be taught by the time my children graduate from high school. They are already eliminating cursive hand-writing. Besides, in a matter of years the schools will begin to realize the "text book" is also a waste. All reading materials will be read on a electronic book device. Obviously is is a much wiser investment as many are only around $100.00 now. Then it's usually around $3.00 to buy/download a book. My second grader's book rental is $162.00. Do your own math. Draw your own conclusions.

Besides just the writing portion of this, our language itself is becoming very informal. We now now use lol over a text message instead of allowing people to hear us on the phone. Every transaction is informal and if we were all smart we would realize many of the service jobs will soon be eliminated. Thus computer technichians are going to be in high demand and an education past high school will be a requirement.

We also will no longer have to think for ourselves. We have people to do that for us. If I have a question, I google it, and then I accept the answer as the truth. I believe whatever crapola I find on the internet to be very true. Not to mention that the internet porn industry shall inherit the earth. We are so corrupt now that it is one of the fastest growing and most profitable forms of computer entertainment. not to mention I can buy any accessorie for any web-based gaming on ebay. Why would I actually want the satisfaction of having a level 80 charecter when I can just buy one? People actually making a living at selling virtual items.

The next thing that has been eating at me is flavored milk. White milk is not an option at school usually. It's a chocolate milk place. Flavored milk adds instant calories and an unnescessary desire for sweets. If white milk was the only choice I promise you, kids would drink it. I also think water should be a considered option. Most children are not drinking enough water. Not every child can drink milk, I know I still can't drink milk without getting sick.

Our kids are also obese. It's never the skinny parents with the morribly obese child, it's always the fat parents. Fat parents lead by example. When I see a 4 year old with boobies and fat rolls I know that the parent is being neglectful. They not only are not limiting their child's food intake, but they are not encouraging their activeness either. A parent is a child's first teacher, teach by example!

While I am on parenting, please don't allow your child to openly cuss. It's not only disrespectful, but it only makes you look ignorant. I know my children have cussed previously, but it is not coming from my household and the situation is always taken care of.

Futhermore, don't dress your child in rags while you are walking around with name brand swag. True story, there are 3 little boys in my neighborhood that wear flannel long sleeve pajamas in 90 degree weather all summer. Thus, I assumed the family was poor. Then I saw their mother. Her nails alone must have cost $45.00. She was in all name brand clothing, hair done, and carrying a designer purse. I wanted to smack her. My kids have never gone without.

Finally, don't ask someone on a date assuming they are there for the purpose of giving you sex. You know you don't want kids, so please don't ask a single mom out. See most of us are looking for soemone we could fall in love with. I will not love you if you are not going to love my kids. Don't waste my time or yours. Be a friend. This single mom is not putting out anytime soon.
