Keepin' It Real Friday: "Why Are Some Women Just So Mean and Nasty?"

I know..... I know.....

Let it Be Known!

I missed a week of my "weekly" Keepin' It Real entries 
(after only two weeks). 

Forgive me???

   How can you resist a face like that?

To anyone who actually does read my entries (I think I know of 5 LOL...), I truly am sorry. :(

Quick Recap? Last Friday

• Up at 5:30 am to clean the kitchen, sweep, mop and clean the bathrooms. You want anything done around here? Has to be before the kids wake up, or after they go to sleep.     
• 9 am, I hosted preschool.  
• 11 am - lunch and babysitting (for a dear friend, and I WOULD do it again, so she knows!)  
• 2 pm - clean up the house again. 
• 3 pm - make tortillas for dinner and clean kitchen.  
• 4pm - make playdough and clean up kitchen.
• 5 pm - make dinner. 
• 6:30pm - fight children to go to sleep. 
• 7 pm - clean house and kitchen.
• And 8 pm - Start writing in my blog (write, delete, write, delete, write, delete... we'll get to that.) 
• 11pm - Ticked that I still have NOTHING... 
• 11:30 pm - give it up and go to sleep.

Literally, that was my day last Friday. In fact, that's what most of my days are like now (minus the blogging). No joke. Many people have asked me what having three kids is like, and that's it. No breathing room, no time for yourself.... literally. I used to think that's how it was when I only had one, but no. I didn't get it then. And I'm sure people with older kids, with more than three, or single parents, who are working and raising their children alone, are thinking I still don't know what hard is. It's all relative. I know some people think I'm over-exaggerating. Oh, believe me. I'm not. I'm not saying my life isn't easy in so many ways, but don't think for a second that any decision I make in my life are selfish anymore. I don't have time to make selfish decisions. 

But THAT... is for a different "Keepin' It Real" post. 

That's not the topic I'm feelin' today.

Today... I want to get to the nitty gritty...

#3 "Why Are Some Women Just So Mean and Nasty?" 

Okay... So Here's the HONEST TRUTH!

The reason I was writing for three hours last week is because I started worrying about offending someone. I kept writing stuff and then thought, "I can't write that!" 

But tonight... I don't care. For many reasons:  

1. I'm speaking the truth, and if someone doesn't like it, it's probably because they are part of the problem. 
2. It's my blog. Get off it if you don't like it.
3. Anyone who really knows me, knows that a new thing ticks me off every 30 minutes, and I'm not afraid to wear my emotions on my sleeve.
4. If you don't love that about me, find a new friend because...  
5. More people like that about me than people who don't.   
6. I can't write as though I'm someone I'm not. It wouldn't be me. 
7. This is a "Keepin' It Real" post! HEL-LO-O???? Nuff said.  

So... Moving O-on...

What is Wrong With Women??? 

 Where is this coming from? I'll tell you where it's coming from. I know a woman who is "supposed" to be "close" to me who has yet to call my TWO YEAR-OLD daughter, cute. 

WHAT'S THE HANG UP? SHE'S HAD TWO YEARS?!!!

You mean to tell me that my daughter who has a personality bigger than life itself has never made you think she's cute? Even in the slightest?!!!

I'm sorry. This face? Not cute? You're right. She's not. 

She's Absolutely Gorgeous!!!!

I know she's mine and all, and I'm supposed to think that, but I don't have to think it. I know it.

So what's the problem? Why can't I just drop this friend? It's too complicated, AND she's not the only one who's done it, AND that's not what matters right now. The problem is this... 

SOMEWHERE along the line, SOMEONE  told women that if they compliment someone else, they devalue themselves....           or something.

What is the Deal?!!!

 I ask for your forgiveness in advance as I will have MANY posts in the future encompassing this same thought. 

Just PLEASE tell me what it is about women that think we feel as though we have to be the best at everything? The best looking, the best dressed, the most popular, the best cook, the best mom with the best marriage, the best job, the best proposal story, the best dressed children, etc, etc, etc. But seriously, who the heck ingrained in our heads that being "the best" is all that matters?

Now Don't Get Me Wrong!

This is not all women! Notice my title says SOME! 

BUT, I know WAY TOO MANY LIKE THIS!

And I'm thinkin' 

It's Gotta Stop!!!!

 Some women are way too negative about themselves - put themselves down WAY too often. It's sad.

It's just as sad, however, when you watch and listen to other women who put others down to try to make themselves feel better.
 

But I'm not even talking about them either! (Today)

I'm talking about the silent women. The women who will ONLY talk positive about their own children, house, husband, food, job, money, you name it... but won't SAY A WORD about ANYTHING good that happens to anyone else. 

So.... What is it?!

I've got one answer and one only. 

ENVY

There really is no other explanation. When we can't be happy for someone else's successes, it really only means one thing - we are just mad that whatever it was didn't happen to us. 

Why Do I Know?

Because I'm "Keepin' It Real" and I have felt these same emotions. 

However!!!! I have stopped them before they've taken control of my actions!

 

What a sad life it would be to lead - happy when others are sad, silent and writhing inside when others are happy? Sure doesn't sound fun to me.

 Is it just me? Am I the only one who has come in contact with these women?

    Last point of all....

I DRAW THE LINE AT CHILDREN!

I don't care who you are. 

Children are PEOPLE! 

People who need love and respect. People who need to know other people care for them. People who need to hear they are beautiful, charming, smart and funny!

PEOPLE like YOU and ME!  

So to you women I say... How dare you?!!

 How dare you compare my child to yours?

How DARE you disrespect my children because you're afraid it will make your children look less special!

EVERY child is beautiful. Every child is smart. Every child has something to offer this world. Every child is needed for some grand purpose. Your child is no better than anyone else's. And NO compliment you give to any other child is hurting YOUR child. As long as you are still building your child up while complimenting the others, you will be doing nothing but teaching your children how to be HAPPY for other people's successes. 

    EVERY Woman and Child Is Beautiful.
