THIS IS NOT MY ASHLEY FURNITURE POST..... THIS ONE HAS BEEN BREWING FOR QUITE A FEW DAYS AND I HAVE TO JUST GET IT OUT BEFORE I TELL SOMEONE WHERE TO GO, HOW TO GET THERE, AND THEN DRAW THEM A MAP.
THIS MOM IS NOT HAPPY! LET'S NOT SUGAR COAT THIS. I AM PISSED!
I OVERHEARD A CONVERSATION LAST WEEK. ONE THAT I KNOW WAS NOT MEANT TO BE HEARD BY ONE OF MY CHILDREN'S MOM. IT WAS SPECIFIC TO MY KIDS AND OUR FAMILY AND THE FACT THAT IT CAME UP JUST PISSES ME OFF.
THE CONVERSATION WAS ABOUT RELIGION.... OR THE JENSEN FAMILIES LACK THERE OF APPARENTLY. THE CONVERSATION BASICALLY PUT DOWN OUR FAMILY AND OUR CHILDREN AND TOMMY'S AND MY ABILITY TO RAISE OUR FAMILY "CORRECTLY."
NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY POOR CHILD QUESTIONED ME ABOUT THIS REPEATEDLY... FOR DAYS. TODAY WAS THE FINAL STRAW. WHEN IT ONCE AGAIN CAME UP, I FINALLY EXPLAINED WHY WE ARE THE WAY WE ARE... IT SEEMS THAT IT MAY BE A LITTLE CLEARER TO MY KIDS NOW.
I AM VERY CAREFUL ABOUT RELIGION, POLITICS, AND PARENTING PUT-DOWNS IN MY LIFE. THINGS I MAY NOT AGREE WITH OR THINK ARE JUST DOWN RIGHT FREAKISH.... I KEEP TO MYSELF OR ONLY DISCUSS OPENLY WITH TOMMY.
I JUST FIND IT SAD THAT OUR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS (OR WHAT SOME MAY CONSIDER BAD BELIEFS) ARE OPENLY DISCUSSED WITH CHILDREN..... CHILDREN WHO TALK!
AND ONCE AGAIN.... I GO BACK TO THE OLD AFRICAN PROVERB... IF TAKES A VILLAGE TO RAISE A CHILD......... WHAT IF THE VILLAGE REALLY IS FULL OF IDIOTS?
*JUST A QUICK SIDE-NOTE- THIS POST HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYONE ON MY STREET WHERE I LIVE NOR DOES IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ANYONE I KNOW WHO READS OUR BLOG!!!*

2 Lightbulb moments:
Whoever said what they said and allowed you and one of your kids to hear....doesn't know your family very well. You and Tom have done a great job raising your kids and I think instilled great values in them. And you should also be grateful that they will come to you when they have heard something they don't understand. That shows what kind of relationship you have with your kids, and that is most important.
hmmm...
I love the cop in you that posts the disclaimer first..or last ...
You know better, we do too...
love you...
