And What Does It Have to Do With Her?! Posted: 04-13-07 05:18am
Gah i swear to god if i had a very long
hard stick i would beat my grandma with
it! On easter sunday when i very
reluntantly agreed to go up to her house
the first thing she said to me was 'oh
danni you've put on far too much weight on
your face' i mean come on it's not like i
tried to! And then she kept on going on at
me for finding out the gender because
apparently thats' 'not how .God meant for
it to be'. And then she kept having a go
at me telling me how the way i dress, my
piercings and hair colour in inapropiate
for me to be a mother.

blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
sorry but she needed that blah lol
it sucks but she's from an older
generation and you know what english
grandma's are like.
you also know that once you have Mika
she'll be like "oh give her here", "you do
it like this", "you shouldn't do that", "I
always did this".
just be firm and tell here that things
have changed since she had her babies and
that you are comfortable in and of your
self and will do the very best you can and
will learn from your own trial and error,
thank you very much.
I know you're gonna do fine - you've grown
up in the past few months, and I know you
will do the very best you can to give your
daughter the very very best.

It just bugs me when she trys to force her
eligion on me, she's a christian and has
every right to be but i'm not and she
won't accept that. it amazes me how she
thinks a couple of bits of jewelery can
affect parenting so much. Thanks kia, i
just needed to get it out

forgive forgive and forgive. - something a
significant number of english ones seem to
forget lol

My grandma insists that all of the bible
is 100% correct yet picks and chooses to
what she enforces

you have no idea the grief i got/still get
for having facial piercings & tattoos
& blah blah blah. it has absolutely
nothing to do with parenting. metal in my
face does not affect how i take care of
& raise my child. if only people could
get that through their big fat heads.
you're gonna be a great mom, .danni..
don't let wrinkly old women get you down
(like their boobs).
.at least we're young, stylish, &
fabulous.. .we'll be able to
relate to our children & teach them
that being different is beautiful.

fasion sense and piercings have nothing to
do with it

Sorry your grandma is getting on you.
Like Kia said she is from a different
generation. My grandma wasn't .English,
but she was set in her ways.
When my daughter was little, she used to
tell me everything I was doing wrong. I
just smiled, listened, and thanked her for
the advise. I took what she said and used
it if it made sense, and rid my brain of
it if it didn't.
I hated hearing all the things I was doing
wrong, or what I could do better, or how
the new way we do things now is
ridiculous. I could have screamed.
Today, I would give anything to hear her
advise, because she is gone.
your life your body your baby. not hers I
wish i had the guts to peirce my eyebrow
and tongue oh and my belly button but alas
i am a chicken bawk bawk.
you go girl
