Don’t tell a parent that…
So I’ve been sitting here for no joke probably 1/2 hr trying to figure out what the heck to blog about. Leah is nicely playing w/ my old jewelry patiently waiting for me to give her some attention.
Just about when I’m ready to give up and go another day without adding a blog I read through everyone else’s blogs for a last attempt to seek inspiration when I come across a comment that was made on Danger’s blog about eating the last piece of dessert (again)
Here’s the comment:
“It was your friggin’ cake!!! You can eat the whole darn thing if you choose to. You & Sandy need to stop spoiling Leah NOW, before it’s too late and grows up to be a pig-headed brat! Do you want her treating other people that badly? Get rid of your mangina and grow a set, man! It’s in your daughter’s best interest. Plus, I’m pretty sure I’ve heard Sandy mention you guys are trying to have another child??? How will your little royal princess treat the new baby?”
Ok…now settle down. I don’t care if you meant any harm or not, and yes the underlying point of the comment has validity but you just can’t say it like that. I’m not even going to explain Danger or my parenting techniques or try to justify Leah’s behavior… The real issue is that you can’t call someone’s kid a “pig-headed brat” to their face.
It’s like going up to a mom saying “you better call a plastic surgeon b/c your kid is going to grow up even uglier than they already are”
Nobody has a filter anymore.

That IS a totally RUDE thing to say. I bet you that person doesn’t have a child otherwise they may have taken a couple of minutes to think “gee, this little girl is going to be able to READ someday that kind of comment might sting a little” or, I don’t know, maybe think of how it might feel if someone called THEIR child a pig headed brat?! Very rude. That person should be ashamed to post something like that publicly. Sounds like THAT person is CHILDISH and PIG HEADED.

UNREAL!!! (Yup, all caps!) I’m raging right now so I’ll put a “filter” on my thoughts and just say “rip her a new one” Sandy!
Have a great day!

Where does she get off?? My guess is she is one of those ones that has no kids and thinks they can comment on how everyone else raises theirs. Let her have it. BTW, I love hearing Leah on the radio and she sounds like such a sweetheart. Far from the pig headed brat that other beeotch referred to her as!!

Ridiculous! That person probably doesn’t even have kids! Easy for people to judge & even if she is spoiled who cares, from the pictures and hearing you & Danger talk Leah seems happy and that is all that matters!

I was listening this morning but had to get out of the car before I could hear you read this… This lady must be psycho. It makes me wonder if she has any kids and if so I wonder how they turned out since shes so perfect that she can point out others parenting flaws.
You are doing fine…so ppl just need to grow up!

Hey Sandy, I listen to your show every morning at work, and I wanted to say that poster was way off-base. Anytime I’ve heard you mention Leah on the air, she’s a sweet innocent little girl, and that woman’s post was an attack on you for no good reason. It’s too bad she was too afraid to call you guys this morning on-air.

WOW some people just don’t have a clue!!! People should NOT critique parenting of others. To each their own style! To put it nicely some people have a BIG pair when they shouldn’t have any at all!!

WOW! That lady is on drugs! Ok, now can we make it mandatory to obtain a license to have children? I really hope that “crazy lady” does NOT have kids. Leah is beautiful, and you & Danger are doing great as parents. : )

I think that is not something u say to someone. but, she may just be trying to make a point. Do u know who it was?

wow-i like the boldness of that statement made by that person, I too tend to speak my mind but theres a fine line between speaking openly and honestly and just being a tool.
