Apparently I'm mean. . .

Note to self:

o I'm mean!

According to my children: I'm mean! (I only get told this about 20 times a day) And apparently my husband just learned today that, I'm MEAN! So I was told that I need to start being nice. What the hell does that mean anyways? I am nice, as long as you're not dumb, mean to me (or my family), or did I mention dumb? Really it's not difficult. Don't do or say dumb shit and I won't have to say something mean. I mean it's not like I do it intentionally, but I have a tendency to say what is on my mind, or speak the truth, and apparently that's mean.
I have to say, I do think society is making us a bunch of soft, lazy bastards (this includes myself.) I mean if people raised their children the way people 40 years ago did, we wouldn't be having this problem. But no, back then parents were to hard on their kids and new parents just want to coddle their children. Here's a new one for you: Teach your kids right from wrong, and when they fuck up hold them accountable. It really can be that simple. My kids know what is right and what is wrong, as much a a 7,6 & 4 yr old can. And when my kids fuck up they get disciplined. I tell them what they did wrong and what the right choice should have been. Then if they continue to repeat the "wrong," they get disciplined. Some things would be so much more simple if people would just be accountable for their own actions and quit blaming it on mommy and daddy or society. Ok enough of my rant for tonight. Now if someone could help me off my soapbox, that way if I slip and fall I can blame it on you. . . .
