The Things People Say
I am constantly amazed at the things people say and ask of others. Like, wow your little one is so big, what did you feed him? Or, you're brave wearing that, I just think they make woman look fat. And one of my favorites, oh you're 31? when are you going to settle down and have kids? Or the most recent, oh, I mean that drive to your new job, how will you manage a family?
What is wrong with people? When is it your business what I do, wear or how I choose to spend my time? And who are you to judge me or someone else's kid? Do you have a filter? Did your mother forget to teach you its not polite to butt into other's business? Seriously.
If you would not want someone to ask you the question, then don't ask it of someone else. And, news flash, its not 1960, I can work, drive, have a family all at the same time!
Crawling off soap box now.
I agree. People need to let you do you, what's best for YOU. So what if it isn't what's right for them? It gives them NO RIGHT to judge or comment on it. To your face, or behind your back.
ReplyDeleteKeep doing you, girl!!
Oh guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl!!! People are rude, rude, rude. And just have no filter. Very often people speak, or type without realizing what they are saying is rude and wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous and wonderful and beautiful and I love you, dearly!!!!! xoxo
Its crazy!! Before I got married last year at age 45- people would say to me " you must really be picky", or my favorite " are you high maintenance'? And of course you better hurry if you want kids! Um shutup people. I am not high maintenance just because I waited for the right one to marry. I cant have kids not that its any of your business and yes I am picky. HAHA- you touched one of my nerves .
ReplyDeleteI think for some people, it's more than just not having a filter. It's just plain RUDE! Since when did a commute have anything to do with managing a family. Some people! And the backhanded compliments? Ugh. Those might just be the worst. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it, people!!!
ReplyDeleteIn other news, hope today goes swimmingly for you:)
I. cannot. STAND the kids questions!!! Mind yalls own business!!!!
