Win or lose, everyone gets a trophy.
Just reading or hearing this statement makes me fucking sick. Now that almost every activity for children has this policy, I don't want any of my five shitlets to be subject to them. Don't get me wrong, if my shitlets want to be involved in an activity I will not tell them no if it is their time (and we can afford it). But you can be damn skippy that there will be no celebration for receiving a participation metal or trophy.
These days, this makes me seem like a heartless bitch to most people. That is fine, because my shitlets will be stable and not overly sensitive as they go through life. They will know what it is and what it feels like to work hard for what they want or need as well as being proud of them selfs. Not having the thought that, "Oh, I don't have to win or be my best to be rewarded". How does that seem right to people? I don't understand. When they are working adults they will have this thought that they will get promoted just because they showed up and did the minimum amount of work. Don't you want your children to be their best and work their hardest at what ever they do? I would assume so.
Now in no way am I saying that my husband and I are perfect parents, and I don't want to judge anyone else for they way they chose to mess up their kids. Also this does not only count for parents, teachers to even the ones with out kids at home of their own.
Have you ever decided to through your kid a birthday party and let them invite a few friends from class? So you send 5 invites with your son/daughter to give to said friends and then either they are sent back home, or you get a call from the teacher. You may not send invites for any children unless you send enough for the WHOLE damn class! Are you FUCKING kidding me???? I have been in this situation many times. Each time I go into the class to speak with the teacher face to face. I bring to her attention that we do not have the phone number for every single one of my kids friends, not every one is a bring home kind of friend ya know, some are only at school friends. My biggest point....."If it is your rule, then you can pay for every child that comes to our party that is not my shitlets friend, as well as buy the extra invites for them." We do not always do small at home parties. My shitlets like to ride horses, go carts and go swimming, these things charge per child at some places. Then there is needing a bigger cake, snacks and drinks. Yep that shit will be on your dime if you give me no other choise plain and simple. This has worked every time!
Not every child, teen or adult will always be invited to every party that is around them. How damn shocked do you think these kids will be when they are older and half of the people standing around them are invited right in front of them and they are not?
You can already see how things like this (and many of the other, "don't hurt any ones feelings" things.) are affecting kids these days. Kids are depressed (but I think this also has to do with meds. and/or bad diets as in the crap they put in food) can't handle being picked and are killing them selfs. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that bullying is ok those little bastards need to get their asses whooped. But we need to make sure our kids are tough enough to handle this crap because there will never be a day that we don't have bullies. We as parents are suppose to protect our kids and prepare them for life and dealing with shitty people is apart of life. Show your kids love, compassion, respect and leadership but you also have to be tough on them. Help your kids and protect them by guiding them and teaching them.
Please do not hesitate to tell me how you feel about this.
As a side note: I know that I am not a writer, I do not use proper grammar sentence structure or any of that crap. So if you are just wanting harass me about that MOVE ON cause I don't care!

Begining of an ADULT outlet!
This new blog of mine..... Oh it will be a doozey.
A lot of the topics that I will touch on will be sensitive subjects and I will try to find as many facts to provide you with but most will just be my opinion. As the saying goes " Opinions are like ass holes, everyone has them" you may not like mine and that is fine. I welcome the opinion of others, but you must remember that we are all ADULTs here and I expect you to act as one. Attacking and name calling/insulting my self or other just shows your immaturity and you need to find another playground.
