Another Rant

You know, sometimes it astounds me how irrational some people get over an opinion. My mother and I were watching "What Would You Do?" on tv, and this particular episode was about teens getting botox. Okay, that's bad and all, but my mom starts going off on a few teen girls in the background who were watching while they got their nails done.

While she was ranting about how they shouldn't be doing that, I told her that their mothers thought differently then she did and she flipped out and asked if I would let my daughter get her nails done when she was 14.

I said, pft, yeah. Why not it's part of being a girl and it boosts self esteem. Then you know what she did?

She acted like I was a bad person. She said "Wow, really? you'd let them be little hoochies at school? I expected a little better from you but I guess I was wrong."

Hm.....so in saying I'd let my teenage girls paint their nails, I am destined to be a bad mother/person. Thank you mother, oh so much. Not only did you refuse to have a normal conversation, but you insulted me at the same time. And you wonder why I so rarely spend time with you, maybe when you can act like a reasonable adult we can carry on a good talk.

K? until then mom, you can bite me.
