I guess the first thing I want to write about was my internal conflict this morning.
My son had his first girlfriend a while back and I went to her Facebook site and tried to find out more about her. What I found was a 12 year old girl who in almost ever picture purposely had her bra strap showing. She had her hair flipped to the side and the classic come nail me look. Strong words, but it is what she exhibited. This is a young tween and I thought. Wow, how slutty. Now I told my son I did not like her based on her Facebook pictures. I could be frivolous, but I just get these feelings about certain people (good or bad). Well, about a couple of weeks later, I see a picture on my nephews Facebook with his arm around the same girl… Hummm…. I asked my son if it was the same girl and he said it was. She had broken up with him and started dating his cousin. Confirmation.
The internal conflict came when I realized that it was something that bothered me. I am a person that the teens show respect to first, then I reciprocate. I wondered if it was my age getting to me, or I have just have had enough??
This is just my purposeless ramblings, but I had to start with something.
