I only wish the video was posted….

Don’t you talk to my guy…

Ok, so here is the situation:

My kids went to the roller skating rink last night. Logan went for a party and the others just went to skate (Dakota, Tyler and Kaity). So we pick them up and so starts the story:

There is a boy (isn’t there always) who came up and started talking to Kaity. She talks back and then all of a sudden this other girl comes up and tells Kaity “Stop talking to my guy”. Kaity backs down and says “ok”. In the car hearing the story, I am shocked. First, there is no law that says a boy can’t talk to a girl, even if he is in a relationship and second THEY ARE 10 YEARS OLD. I told Kaity she had nothing to be ashamed of and she should have told the girl “Whatever, I can talk to whoever I want” and proceed to talking. Now, I understand that it could have caused a fight, if the girl was brave enough, but seriously my daughter should not have had to back down to prevent it. She should not have to feel like she did something wrong when she didn’t.

Now, imagine my shock when my husband disagrees with me. He, the one who feels the boys should never back down from a confrontation, feels that “Kaity should be careful who she talks to”. Um, in the sense that adult males or teenage males (just for the fact that they are too old for her), I agree, but they are TEN YEARS OLD. And why should she cower when she did nothing wrong? We ended up in a heated debate and we never really did see eye to eye on this. He feels that with her “impeding womanhood” that she should start being careful with who she talks to. My point is, yeah if she went out and was seeking to break up a relationship, sure, but if a guy starts talking to her what is she suppose to do, get a resume first and then decide if she should talk to him? Besides the fact, if that immature girl had a problem with it, she should have talked to her “boyfriend”, not my daughter.

So, we are still not in agreement about this. I hate to see what arguments we get into when she is actually a teenager and wanting to date. I see a bumpy road ahead….. but let’s not forget, right now SHE IS ONLY 10! For heaven’s sake, let’s let her be 10….

Just a poem

Screaming in silence
No one to hear
The sound of my heart breaking
Or the sound of my tears

So many tears
In so little time
Sobs racking my body
And controlling my mind

Breaking and crashing
Nothing to be found
No evidence of my heart
Will be around

Screaming in silence
Because you are not here
To pick up the pieces
And to wipe these tears
