Ahh Bra

Wow ladies, Rhonda might be on to something. Check out the ahh bra at http://www.ahhbra.com/ 1-800-959-3398. Trust me i'm not getting paid for this. I just tired of seeing women in the wrong bra. Some women try too hard to be sexy. They stuff their breast in bras that are too small and their breast looks like a set of twins popping out of their chest. :-) Anyway, I was up at 5 am watching infomercials and stumbled on the ahhh bra. Looks like a great stocking stuffer. Ahhh

Bullying

Don't you think bullying has gone too far? Bullying went from being afraid to go to the playground to suicide......ARE YOU SERIOUS. ERRRRRRR THIS HAS GOT TO STOP. We often hear about the child that's being bullied but we never hear about the bully or their parents. For some reason because of their age they get to hide behind the blurry camera. :-( So how big and bad are you? Hey have you ever met the parent(s) of a bully? I have, you quickly discover that bullying is learned.

When my son was in the 4th grade his best friend was being bullied for about a week at the bus stop. This kids mom would tell him to toughen up, she went to the school and still got no help. I started going to the bus stop in the morning and I would schedule my lunch in the afternoon around the time the bus would drop them off. I approached him, he cussed me, I followed him home to talk with his parents she refused to come to the door. So I started taunting him. Keep in mind that he wasn't bothering my son. He was just messing with a part of the village and needed correction. Through out this process, the school didn't do much except threaten to suspend his bus privileges. I spoke with the apartment manager and she informed me that the family has lived in the neighborhood for over 10 years and the father worked for the FBI. She said they have vandalized property, fought other kids, etc. and the parents don't seem to care. I threatened to call the police everytime one of the kids tell me he was being bullied. (Now she's interested) Why? Because, the area was very progressive. The apartments homes were very expensive and worth every dime. If I called the police every day that means the zip code would be flagged as BAD and it would affect their bottom line. In the meantime I continued to let this kid know I'm watching him and still tried to reach out to his mom. I showed the apartment manager I meant business (called the police a few timess) she evicted the tenant. Oh well, I didn't want that to happen but if you refuse to police your child them maybe someone else should. Because of these three bad kids the entire family had to find somewhere else to live. They (managers) later told me that they had had enough with that family of bullies. Said when they met with the parents and threatened to evict them. The dad tried to intimated them with laws and rules, etc. As I stated, often times bullying is a learned behavior.
WE MUST GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. I think everything starts at home. If there is a bully at your child's school, in your neighborhood, or playground let start with THE PARENTS and hopefully we can find a resolution.

We must also teach our kids TO TELL. When you pick your child up from the sitter ask them in front of the sitter what happened today. Don't wait until later. I know sometimes we are in a hurry to get home. Question him in front of the adult so he won't be afraid to speak in front of an adult. If the teacher said he was sassy or he hit someone, address in front of the person. After a while, when you pick your kid up, he/she will say things like, mom Ms. Teacher said shut your mouth and sit down now, Ms. Teacher said I'm a great kid or Tonya pushed me down and when i told the teacher she didn't do anything. Do you see where I'm going with this? Remember, it wasn't my neighbors kid who told me about him being bullied. It was my son. He told me that my neighbors kid was being bullied. You want to know what happened to my neighbor's kid. She stop letting him play WITH EVERYONE, because of one bully. So he became a prisoner for something that wasn't his fault. When the bullies moved he was able to play with the other children. I wonder who's bullying him now? hmmmmmm Our kids look up to us to protect them. Let's start by talking to them, meet their friends, take away the cell phones and let some of those calls come to the house phone.
LET'S START PUNISHING THE PARENTS FOR THEIR CHILD'S BEHAVIOR THEN MORE PARENTS WILL START PARENTING. HEY CAN WE TEACH PARENTS HOW TO PARENT??? ERRRRRRRR :-(
