A rant, and a slice of life
I read parenting stuff and with that comes inevitable articles on the necessity of spanking. I just don't get it, I've never gotten it. It makes no sense to me especially if you tell the same people who are advocating it that the next time they fail to follow a rule at work or upset someone in management then they have to be reprimanded with a spanking. They would be all kinds of incensed and yet so no reason for them to not hit a child for not following a rule or upsetting them.
It's not that I think all (or even most) parents who spank are willful abusers, however I do think that there is a severe lack in their ability to see children as people in their own right who should be treated with respect.
In other (happier) news I got the best birthday gift on my son's birthday, he called me and we talked for over an hr. I wish I could visit him but not possible right now but he has said he plans to come see me which has me downright giddy. I'm so glad he's doing well.
My ex and I are are pretty good terms again which is nice. Kinda hard to be on the outs with someone you've known your entire adult life especially when you share children.
This morning was fun, I baked cinnamon rolls, cleaned the kitchen and washed my hair. I went old school with it standing on a step ladder to wash it in the kitchen sink. not as tiring or slippery as doing it in the shower. Since I don't plan to curl it this time (it still had some curl from 2 weeks ago) Hopefully it will dry faster and by tomorrow I will have a nice swinging bob. I ordered some hair bows with allegator clips that should arrive friday. the cuteness!
