Our society today

Our society today is so hard on parents who are trying to hardest to raise their children with self respect,  Morales and what not.  It is very hard for a believer of Christ to install proper there is a time and a place for things for our children who are 18 and beginning their adult lives.  VERY HARD.  For many years I have fought as a mother trying to win the battle over things with my daughter, like in areas that are such a big thing for girls, clothes!!  I mean I am just disgusted.  Even clothing for little girls who are just getting out of the toddler phase into girl sizes, they are just too adult…too revealing.  It is very hard for many many parents.

I have made compromises along the way with my daughter.  But its been most difficult.  We went shopping yesterday as she wanted some shorts and let me tell you what she was looking at, no way in hell would my husband let her OUT of the house in!  I mean whats the point? You might as well throw on your bra and panties and walk out the door because that is ALL the clothes cover!!!

There are certain things that are meant to spice up a MARRIAGE, that is not proper for girl of ANY age to wear.  I mean seriously have you seen the panties for little girls?  Unbelievable!  They are desensitizing our children.  Commercials to movies, I mean even flipping car commercials are sex related.  I was watching a cartoon the other day with the girls I watch and some of the comments I caught that of course a child would not and it was OK changing the channel, not proper!

You wonder why so many schools are choosing to go uniforms?  I can remember fighting this myself when my kids were younger, I mean not only the expense on parents who would not be able to afford it, but I seen nothing wrong at that time with a pair of jeans and a top.  But those styles have changed tremendously since my daughter was at that age and now I agree with schools choosing to go this way.

Where do we draw the line?   But what really gets me is the PARENTS who allow their children to dress that way.  Your little girls under the age of 13 and what about your teens?  I mean do you even talk to them about matters of importance of why they should not dress a certain way?  It’s NOT OK!  I mean its just not.

I will tell you this much, if you want to judge me for having the beliefs I have fine, judge me but I am going to say this:  I am not going to sit back and watch my 18 year old dress like a hoochie momma and pretend it doesn’t bother me or act as if I approve.  I didn’t bust my ass all these years trying to raise my daughter to have SELF ESTEEM AND MORALES!  I am not!  NOT NOT NOT.  I Just assume she move out on her own then for it to be in MY home and watch.  NO!  We have house rules like it or not.

All I know is there is going to be an all out war later on in my home today but I am NOT going back down.  I am held accountable for how I raise my children with GOD and the day I stand before him I am not going to have it written in the book I allowed my daughter to live in my home and dress like a hoochie momma.  I have other mistakes in my life that I have had to ask God to forgive me for.  This isn’t one of them!
