Judge not
"We're flawed -- we're human beings and sometimes you make choices that other people are going to judge. That's their problem, but I think that the more I live my life, the more I learn not to judge people for what they do. I think we're all trying our best, but life is complicated."- Gwyneth Paltrow
Having two young and very active toddlers running around is so embarrassing. I know look like a crazy person everywhere I go. I'm laid back, so I find that those that are more uptight and regimented have children that appear angels in public. My kids aren't bad, necessarily, they're just spirited... Besides, I hate to be the bad guy, so I chose my battles in fear of correcting so much that they stop listening entirely.
Point: I know people judge me.
A year ago, I was absorbed with being perceived as the perfect mom. You know what? It ain't happenin'! I make plans and the youngins figure out a way to ruin change them.
My kids play hard. They are often disheveled (and pantless, thank you Ashton). But I believe that's what life's about.
It isn't that I can't be the fun-police; it's just that I don't want to be.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter, because I judge you bitches too.
Isn't being a parent soooo much fun! I think everyone notices differences amongst each other... whether it's judging or whether it's a bad thing is how they treat you in my opinion. Judge me all you want people, but don't be rude to me! I know I'm judged, what with how obsessed we are with nap and sleep schedules at the Maxson's. But you know what - it's what works for us and that's all that matters in the end. Whatever works fro you and your family :) To each their own is one of my favorite sayings since becoming a parent. That is along as you don't do anything to my kid(s)!!!! :)
