There was no way she could last all day alone. I left my house at 11am and got back at like 5:30pm. While i was getting the boys hair cut I over heard some women talking about Cookie. At first I didn't think anything of it because people do it all of the time but then I heard them say "Oh, that poor dog" Like I was mistreating her by having her in her little bag with her toys and treats. She has no idea how I treat my babies. I was so angry but I didn't say anything because I try not to get into arguments when my kids are with me. I'm trying to teach them to turn the other cheek. Now I'm on here venting and letting out my frustrations. Thanks for listening.  |
Ok, so I love how you handled this situation,

but I must confess I'd be hard press to do what you did. I struggle daily with my sinful tongue.

I'd of loved to say to my boys, "Now kids, don't pay any attention to those rude nasty ladies over there talking bad about your Momma and Cookie. We have to give grace to those less intelligent poor creatures that roam loose on this earth and who lack even the smallest crumb of proper social skills. Just learn from their poor example and don't ever judge someone. You never know what the
real situation is." And so you see, this is why I decided a long time ago I wasn't fit Momma material for skin-kids.

I shudder to think of any more people running around with my temper and tongue combo.

Keep up the good work Mom with your boys!!
