So you just gonna let your kid talk all crazy to you-huh?

As a parent, sometimes it seems like your day is filled with an endless stream of backtalk from your kids—you hear it when you ask them to do chores, when you tell them it’s time to stop watching TV, and when you lay down rules they don’t like. It’s one of the most frustrating and exhausting things that we deal with as parents. The ironic thing is that we must handle these situations uniquely because no two are the same. Nonetheless, it has to be dealt with quickly to be effective in my opinion.
I am no parenting expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I can say that I have worked with young people for the past several years and one thing that I know that- eye know, is it is easier to lighten up (Be nicer to people) than it is to tighten up (Get hard and put rules down) later. The young people may not like everything you say or do, but they will respect you. We all have to decide which is more important to us, even if it means telling them the truth about your past. If you smoked or drank, tell them. Also tell them that you won't let them do it on your watch because it was wrong then, and wrong now!!!! It may cause you some discomfort or embarrassment, but that's why you are the parent-You can handle it sucka!
When it comes to my own kids, I enjoy joking with them and teaching them new things, but I am confident that they know how I am and talking back is not a good choice. I completely understand that teenagers are growing into young adults and want to stretch out a little bit, but talking crazy to the parent is not going to prepare you for the real world. Then again, some people just gotta find out the hard way what happens when you talk side ways to your boss, the police or what ever your goal for that instance is! Then guess who society will look to blame? Yelp you guessed it, they gonna blame the parent. Really, it is necessary to take the blame game because having kids are not only gifts from God, but a huge responsibility that successful parents learn to do well.
Teens may look like mature and men and women but they don't always have the experience and knowledge that older people can impart, but the communication gap, the lack of respect and influence of the world is making child rearing dang near a headache for some!
This is Wardy suggests= 1.Realize that you are not your child's friend, what you say goes or they can feel free to get out of your cribb & do life their own way. 2. you don't have to have a debate with your kid once you give your decision. Sure you can have discussion, but once its final, its final. (how often do you argue with your own boss). 3.Set well defined rules and expectations and enforce them. If you get wishy-washy now, don't expect to see good results! 4.Make time to talk to your kids about whats important to them and have a regular dialogue, you may be surprised at what they share once they realize you care about their needs. 5. Lead by example. Let your kids see you reading and applying the Bible in your life and watch your own tone and smart Alec comments to them and others. 6. Be firm yet tactful. Respect the child but also make it clear you are in charge.
So in closing, I just find it so discomforting to see parents who allow their kids to run their lives when the kids have not lived in the real world. Parents don't ever have to raise their voices or hit their kids to make a point. You just have to be a parent! Just as sure as you are reading my blog, I am not yelling at your or talking sideways, yet you hear me loud and clear. Please, if you are a parent, love your kids enough to be the best parent they can have and deserve, because if you don't the streets is really to do your job if you can't handle it.

Why do couples have so many issues?

It goes both ways. He just said something to you that, no matter how hard you try to figure out, makes absolutely no sense at all. You give him a blank stare, wondering if he missed some key words in his explanation. He looks at you like he’s just said the most obvious thing in the world… and so it goes… I was told by someone I use to consider a friend, that men are just as complicated as women! Somehow I find that highly unbelievable for many a reasons, but since I am tired I will reserve those views for a later time-lol!

I find that men see some women, as being complicated creatures and they find it even harder to understand exactly what do women what. Well, men the fact of the matter is, women are complicated and for the most part they have too many things that they want, which makes it impossible for them to just really talk about or focus on one. Women are multifaceted creatures, they tend to see details rather than big pictures, they sometimes appreciate the smallest gestures, and they are passionate when it comes to the way they love another. Men aren’t considered complicated because they tend to look at the bigger picture and not care for the details. Men follow the same rituals and routines throughout their daily lives and would rather not deal with change. How many times have you saw a man change his hair style or color in a year? Men like to get better at what they do best, while women like change and expect you to change your stripes and roll with them.
This leads me to my next point. What do females look for in a guy??? It truly depends on each girl. Taste is something that truly cannot be explained, it varies from person to person and can change without one even realizing it. Most girls tend to look at an array of things when on the quest of finding the right one for them.

Some girls are attracted to guys solely based on their looks. They need to find a guy that’s attractive and what we call eye candy. He has to have a certain height, dress a certain way, and have that body to go along with it. No bird chests for these type of girls.

Some girls may be attracted to a guy based on his personality. They may love the way he speaks, they may fall for his smile, his approach towards them. They may fall for his charm. Some girls tend to actually look for a guy that possess a great quality prior to looking at the way he may look. If he is a looker and he has a great personality than that would be consider a plus.

Some girls are looking for the players. Hard to believe, but it is true. Some girls can’t help but be attracted to guys that will end up cheating on them or give them constant grief. Why? Only those type of girls can really explain. I saw a fat girl the other day on match maker millionaire who wanted the bad boy who found her unattractive and overweight, but she still wanted what she wanted. (People wonder why couples end up in divorce court).


Other girls looks for the guy that doesn’t like to say much, not that he has a lack of personality but maybe he’s more shy or reserved. He’s the more laid back type that takes his time to make his move. Some girls believe it or not are attracted to the guys that isn’t constantly trying to, what I like to call, spit game to them.

At the end of he day, couples are gonna have tribulation on their flesh because both are imperfect people. I don't really feel it matters if you like peanut butter and she likes walking barefoot in the snow! What does matter, from my personal perspective, is that each party in the relationship knows their roles and expectation. If the man is the head, then his woman is suppose to be his compliment. Of course he should value, show and tell her he loves her all while she is being easy to love. There are many strong willed, know it all sisters out there ( I call them single) who want a man. Don't get it twisted, not all women want a man or need a man, but the ones who do, I am talking to you-lol! I can only give you advice and this is it: If you have problems in your relationship, you do well to ask your self- are you part of the problem or part of the solution?

O.k. I offically give up on customer service....

Today I felt lazy. I had quite a few things that I wanted to accomplish but allowed procrastination to get the best of me once again! For example, I wanted to get some new/used tires for my new project car which meant I had to hit all the ghetto spots to find what I needed at the price I was willing to pay. (Dang that kind of sounds like prostitute shopping-lol) My tire search sent me from the South side of Napp to the North side. After several failed attempts to get these tires I finally found a set that matched the others I had on my car!!! The negative is that the guy who installed the tires was training and knew Jack about his new career. First he didn't know how to jack the car up, then he cracked my hub cap trying to pry it off with a crow bar (my hub cabs are screwed on)and then he under inflated my tires my 23 pounds of air. I asked him to check the pressure of the tires but he didn't have time. His Uncle/employer asked me did I want to tip Mr. Dilweed for his job, I almost cussed at that sucka. But I tipped him.....I told him that its never to late to get that G-E-D!! O.k. I didn't really say that, but eye was thinking it.
I thought I was going to eat lunch at some place called the Elbow or Knee Cap lounge but plans got changed and was able to find another person to have lunch with. (Thanks for being available). We went to Cracker Barrel and of course had bad customer service. I actually expect it now-lol! I love breakfast anytime, so I asked for the pancakes, crisp bacon and scrambled eggs with "NO" yolk. The waitress asked if that meant some yolk. I again said "NO" yolk!! Ya know --like the Boston Celtics with(((( NO RONDO!!!!)))) So she then asked me did I just want whites only scrambled. I just looked at her and said that would be fine. She went on to tell me how fortunate I was to order when I did because a bus load of people just pulled up. I guess that meant I wasn't gonna get full attention. Yelp that's what happened. I didn't see that lady again until I asked for my check and a to go box. I couldn't get a drink refill or needed utensils. Its no biggie because I gave a good tip too.... Nothing! I know some people are gonna say that waitresses depend on tips for a living and I say take that up with your employer because you the idiot working for $2.85/hour....but that's another blog.
I think at the end of the day, I expect and really appreciate good customer service from places where I am spending my money. In this economy, money is tight, so if you want what I got, then you might wonnna come correct pa-pi! Of course I am aware that as imperfect humans we tend to want people to think and act as if we would, but that isn't always a fair assessment. We are, in fact, products of our backgrounds and personal perspectives-right? I think cause and effect would best describe this view point! To be fair, I am sure their are those negative customers (even me at times) who frequent establishments that make the job challenging but as the customer service person, isn't it your job to be the one to suck up the pain and allow both our experiences to be better-------Nahhh that sounds like what people who appreciate a job do-lol!
Any-who, I choose not to allow my distaste for anti-professionalism to dictate my quest for a good time out! I still got my tires, I had a healthy meal with good company so overall, today was not that bad.....

Why does the new year often bring new lies????

I am elated that I am still alive in 2011 considering no 1 is promised tomorrow, (unless you are in a pre-arranged marriage and you future brides name is Tomorrow-lol). The thing that gets me the most, is how each new year people often follow the same pattern from beginning to the end of each year. Ya heard of them saying how this year they're gonna quit smoking, loose 50 pounds, get they credit straight, find their soul mate and find religion. I normally give it a strong 2.5 weeks before they return to the normal routine-lol!. Real talk family, change is far from easy or the would be a much better place, would it not?
I can't say that I am any different, I sometimes get over whelmed with all that I want to do in a freaking day, that I find it easier to just shut down and do nothing-lol! Seems to me that what would help is all is a support person or group to push us to what we need to do. (((For example I always wanted to start a group for procrastinators but I kept putting it off))) (ba da pop!). Anywho, this is what I am gonna try. I am gonna write out a list of things I want to do for each month on a large piece of paper. Write another list with things I want to get done for the week on a smaller piece. And you guessed it, a list for each day to keep me focused. Hopefully, at the end of the month I can look back and see the fruitz of my labor! I know I must have balance in my life to successfully complete my goals, so I gotta stay focused.
O.k. its a new year for us mere mortals and we are off and running suckers......
