Back on the Blog
Okay, so I was MIA for a while but now I'm back. Things here have been good. We just put in laminate floors and I will post pics as soon as our house doesn't look like a bomb went off in it. I promise to update soon. XOXO

Motherly Behavior?
I understand that every mother needs a break. Believe me. Totally there with you. But I'm really tired of seeing Moms that aren't doing their best to support their kids (be it by working, taking care of the home/kids, etc) and going out partying. Maybe because I was never into that scene I don't really have the desire to go out and party, but I really think that once you become a mom, staying out until 2 a.m. getting drunk/high is really inappropriate and incredibly irresponsible. Every mom should have time to go out with girlfriends for sure, but by "go out" I mean, grab a movie, dinner, coffee, etc. You know, things that won't involve you asking "What did I do last night?" after you wake up hungover.
And I am so incredibly tired of seeing single mothers have like, a million boyfriends (not simultaneously, I mean, like, one after another). Single mothers should definitely be able to date. I mean, every one deserves to be happy. But if I were in that situation, I would never introduce my kid to them, atleast not until it was really serious, like, a big rock on my finger. Sure, they could meet him as "Mommy's Friend." But not like your boyfriend. And don't have your kids call them "Dad." First of all, what a giant blow to their real dad. And secondly, there is no guarantee that someone your sleeping with is going to stick around, so don't put your kids through that. Have I been watching too much Maury?
I just can't help but wonder how these kids are going to turn out. (And we wonder why the world is going to hell in a handbasket.) I just feel like it's so incredibly selfish to act this way. Of course, not every day is going to be rainbows and butterflies, but being a mother is the absolute greatest thing ever... and to waste your time out partying when you should be bettering your life so your kids can have a decent shot at being normal...that just sucks.
