Vague Rants :)

Dear random people who have recently annoyed me-

 

• Get your life together. Seriously, no one needs drama circling them 24/7. If you put yourself in the drama, your right to complain about it gets revoked. Immediately.

• When someone gives you all the information you requested, a simple reply would be nice, just as a confirmation. Also, if things are time sensitive, you should be aware of that.

• Quit acting like your children are a burden. You signed up for parenting when you decided to do what you do. If you can't properly parent them, then give them to a responsible, loving adult that can. It is YOUR responsibility to make sure your children grow up to be good people. It is NOT society's job to raise your children. Quit depending on others, and just do for you and your family.

• Quit hating people. Yes, you can be annoyed/frustrated/mad/angry/upset, etc, but wishing people harm or wishing bad things on to people will only make you look like a giant douche. So stop. It takes a lot of energy to hate someone- why not put that energy in to something more productive?

• If you have a ton of stuff going wrong in your life (sick kids, bad health issues, domestic violence, etc), you should probably focus more on your life and less on people who aren't in it.

• God is good. You should find him. Stat.

• If you have an issue with someone, the best thing you can do is pray for them. Not only will it make you feel better, but at least you wont be attacking them and making yourself look like a giant tool.

• Raising mini-sociopaths is not cool. Teach your children respect. Letting them throw a fit in the middle of Walmart and you telling people its "cute" isn't good at all. And toddlers and children who cuss is also not cute- its sad and disgusting.

• (The only time I'll call someone/thing specific out):

          Spell Check- I did NOT spell Walmart wrong. Quit telling me I did.

• Just because you are a mother, it doesn't mean every. single. waking. second. of your life revolves around your baby. You CAN be your own person and still be a fantastic mom. Losing yourself in your child will not get you any good parent awards.

• With that said, going out to the clubs every weekend and leaving your kids with sitters (family or not) makes you look irresponsible and sets a really bad example for your children. Moderation is key. And clubbing is only cool when you're in your early 20s.

• Don't hold your emotions in- if you feel like venting/screaming/crying, then do it! There are constructive ways to deal with your emotions.

• Count your blessings- especially when you're in a bad mood.

• Quit worrying about trying to understand people. Its a good thing you don't understand how a woman could murder her child, or how a pathological liar can live with themselves. Just shake your head, smile, and pray that God helps them. It's God's job to understand why someone people are horrible, not yours.

 

 

Just so we're clear, the last three are for me as well. I've been in a foul mood for the last few days (although I'm not sure why), and its annoyed me. So I'm not just picking on the random people I've come across- I'm picking on myself as well! :)

 

And now, I'll step off my soap box.
