There's a lot of mean people out there and not much you can do about it. I want to talk about it because I know a thing or two about these mean people.
Whether you're in a friendship, relationship or just meeting someone, you will come across people that are hateful for no reason. Or maybe they feel better about themselves by bringing others down. Maybe they enjoy being hateful for some awful reason. Maybe they don't understand that them being mean either verbally or in any other way, they're hurting someone. 
Maybe they just don't care?

I don't understand it. It's mind blowing how mean people and even little kids can be. You know what's worse? When it's a family member that treats you crappy and doesn't even feel bad about it. How sad is that?
Very.

Mostly it's disappointing because you do whatever you can to be nice and keep the person happy and in the end you may even let them take advantage of you. You may even let them use you and you know this bur you're OK with it because you think they will treat you better or at least they'll stop thinking about themselves for a minute to give you the time of day. Yeah, they might do something nice for someone for once.
Maybe.

Then again, maybe they're just horrible people. Who, if they don't like one little thing you do or you disagree with then they treat you like garbage and forget you even mean something to them. Maybe you never did or they wouldn't treat you that way. Right?
It doesn't matter because out of all of the unselfish and really nice things you did, they will call you names and disrespect you like no one else disrespects you.

They might as well be bullies because that's what they do. 

It's funny that some of these people believe in heaven and hell. Although I'm not a religious person, I know people that are and still behave in a way that would earn them a first class ticket to see Satan once their time of being total douches is up.
​
While it makes me sad and angry how these people even exist, they're around. I would avoid them and not get close to them because they'll just complicate your life. Maybe they can change but ti's unlikely since being hateful is all they know.
So feel sorry for them and if you're religious pray that god forgives them for being such shity human beings.

PS. It's my opinion.
PSS. You can take this however you want, I don't care.
PSSS. If you're a mean and hateful person then go away, I don't need your negativity on my blog. :P

If not, feel free to share! :)

So I've been inspired to write about the parenting thing.
Why? you ask?
Well let's just say that I have zero tolerance for other parents who criticize and judge thinking their shit don't stink. Honestly, you know you're not a perfect parent so please stop trying to tell others how to be one.

Who is sick of strangers, friends and even family thinking they can tell you how to be a parent? Or worse, questioning you?
Yeah, join the club.
I have a big problem with this. It's like breastfeeding, you need to mind your own damn business. If you don't like it, TOO BAD. 

Every parent has a different parenting style. On top of that everyone has a different life style. So that's two things right there that will change how you go about things on a daily basis.

I think there's a very big difference between taking care of your child and SPOILING your child to death that you think you're the best parent in the world. I understand if you want to give your child everything you never had but that doesn't mean it's okay to raise a little brat.
If babysitting my siblings when I was younger taught me anything, I learned you CANNOT buy your child everything they desire and let them run wild hoping they become some kind of brain surgeon. That's NOT going to happen. I've seen it. A lot. Hell, I was one of those kids myself.

I'm not giving advice or saying I'm a perfect parent. Far from it. At least I can admit that. But let me tell you something, my kids have a roof over their head (that I pay for), they eat, they get taken out to places I didn't even go to at their age (like on nice vacations). They're boys so they may not be neat freaks 100% of the time but you know what? They have manners (even though the little one - 2yr old- is picking up some bad habits from other toddlers which we're not letting him get away with).
They pick up after themselves, they know what a bad word is, they know WHO the parent is (not them), they ask for things (not take them) and they WILL BE RESPECTFUL HUMAN BEINGS. I'm not even as strict as some parents can be but I won't let them get away with things they shouldn't do or say.
How many parents can say they are actually teaching and showing their child these things. I'm talking mostly about kids under 10 because I don't have teenagers and I'm sure that's a whole different story. BUT if you don't teach them these things when they're young, they definitely won't learn when they're in their teen years. If they do, well it might be too late. Take me for example, I was pregnant at seventeen and that's not something to be proud of, although I love my Julian. He's the oldest but will forever be my pumpkin. Still, I don't want my kid to get some girl pregnant while he's still in high school, all because I didn't tell him how important school is and what it's like to have a child before you're even twenty. But that's something else that deserves it's own post.

Another thing, when you work 40+ hours a week and you also have to run errands, do housekeeping and whatever else you have to do when you have time, you do what you can to stay sane and STILL manage to do the parent thing.
When you sit on your ass at home and pop ten kids out no problem, live with your in-laws and you're so up your partner's ass you can't see straight, well to put it kindly you are NO ONE to judge ANYONE.

So next time, if you don't have anything nice to say, THEN DON'T FUCKING SAY IT. It's very simple.
​No one likes a hypocrite and that just really reminds the rest of us who are actually trying to RAISE a kid and how pathetic you are for trying to tell someone what they should do when it comes to parenting when you don't even have your life figured out.

I know there's a lot of people that can relate and I hate that there's parents who let their kids listen to garbage music and watch garbage TV, things they shouldn't hear or see because their parents don't care. If you want to raise a child that says bad words and is selfish, isn't polite, doesn't know that NO means NO and gets away with being mean to other kids, then that's on YOU.

Anyway, this wasn't mean to be a rant. But I get so sick and tired of these people and the more I hear it and see it, the more upset it makes me.
