Clothed With Dignity
Recently, some have approached me and say “you let Emmie wear a tube top.” So I found this to be a source of topic.. I am not the fashion police, nor the moral standard that you should go by.. but lets be real; your attire says a lot about you. I have noticed that as women we have taken what it means to be “confident” to mean “revealing”. You can be confident in who you are and dress with “decency”. See I am raising a young lady, who watches my every move. Yes, I want her to be confident in who she is but I have to model what that…

Favoritism
I know I am not alone at getting blamed for loving or spending more time with one child over the other. Greg is your favorite. You love Greg more. You gave Greg more money.

What type of role model are you as a parent? Greg, you are too loud! Greg, slow down! (Am I too loud? Am I too anxious? Am I teaching him how to have a calm spirit?) Emmie you can’t wear that? Emmie that outfit is not appropriate for where you are going? Emmie, you shouldn’t change who you are so that others can like you. (Am I leaving the house inappropriately dressed. Am I making decisions based on what others think of me.) Children do what they see you do, whether it is positive or negative. If they grow up noticing that you don’t read, they won’t read. If they…
