[blparent] People are funny

[Jeri Milton]

Hi V. 
That's a good idea. So, do you ever come across these types of situations? I
mean even if your just shopping in the grocery store? For some reason, I've
developed some real anxiety about it. Not something that's easy for me to
really talk about as it's a bit embarrassing. It's actually held me back
from doing some thing's. I say (it's) held me back, when really I've held me
back. Make sense? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks, Jeri

It's a learning experience for them.  Invite them out to watch the kids,
however, make sure they close their eyes so they can see what you see.

Hi all. 

 

Kate got a little Strawberry Shortcake Bike from Santa this year. Yesterday
I was out front with her while she rode it up and down the side walk. It was
just her and I, as my husband couldn't handle the cold weather we're having
here in Phoenix. Smile. Anyway, my neighbor pulled up and noticed it was
just Kate and myself. He says to her "Katlyn, how can you ride your bike
with just your mom watching you? You could sneak off and she wouldn't know
it." I smiled and kindly said, "No, she knows better than that." He didn't
say anything after that. Another time that same neighbors wife saw me out
front with Dylan. He was playing with sidewalk chalk and I was setting in a
chair in the driveway. We live on the corner so I had my lawn chair at the
end up the drive way, sort of letting him know that he couldn't go past me.
My neighbor came out and asked me if I was pretending to watch him. Hmm,
people are funny aren't they? I really like my neighbors too, I guess
they'll just have to get use to me.
