My dad made me uncomfortable all too often in public, and I dont' want to be THAT parent, so I try to modulate my behavior when the kids are squirming. But if I'm right..... then hang onto your hats, kiddos, we're in for a bumpy ride!<br /><br />(Bette Davis has some great lines, no?)<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-66891951580007584502013-08-26T09:38:33.548-07:002013-08-26T09:38:33.548-07:00Hi Ashley...

But I've stopped thinking it - and, by extension, I - are too much and I don't believe it gets worse as we get older. That's just other people's perception that having strong opinions and forceful ways of stating them are not the way old women are "supposed" to be. They expect us to be sweet and compliant and "nice."<br /><br />I think I used to try that but I've give up now and I've got your back on "...responding, more and more often, with a request to cease and desist with the Mom Improvement Campaign." I'm certain that eventually, the kids will be fine with it.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind words at the top and what fine follow up you've written.Ronni Bennetthttp://www.timegoesby.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-55935107836613224772013-08-26T07:42:25.636-07:002013-08-26T07:42:25.636-07:00This post made me smile.

If they cannot accept us then that is their problem and not ours. I'm at a point in my life where I'm tired of trying to make someone else happy by being what I think they want me to be. <br /><br />I cannot be the perfect mother and I'm done trying. All I can do is be there for my children, love them and show them the right path to doing what's right in the world. <br /><br />And there is nothing wrong with trying to find ourselves as long as we are doing it for us and not for someone else. I'm finding this out the hard way myself. I will get there though. <br /><br />I will have to check out the other blog. I'm always looking for wisdom from others. <br /><br />Happy Monday. <br /><br /><br />Megan xxx<br /><br /><br /><br />MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622415628314992252noreply@blogger.com
