To clucks and peeps and ms chicken momma

Being that someone may want to put a hit on me after I say this, im gonna say it anyway.  I have always gone with the belief that keeping your mouth shut will get you absolutely no where in life.
I am a 44 year old mother of 3.
24 year old daughter that I had trouble with due to peer pressure at school and I went into depression for several months after she left(while in her senior year of school)  It only took her a year after that incident for her to apologize to me and say she was wrong and she was sorry. (and she hates it when Im right)  she has now given me to grandchildren that I love muchly and is getting married next year.  she was a mid popular girl in school.  my husband and myself, did not approve of the boy she was with or his family(to us they were white trash under our feet)

  I have a unadopted mixed race son that came to live with us in his junior year of school (friends with my daughter) due to his parents kicked him out.  he had some emotional issues with kids at school but due to my husbands extreme calmness that exudes from him, my son has become a great person.  he is in his 4th year of college and going for his bachelors in criminal sciences an will become some sort of law enforcement person and I am sure will do great things.  he is 23.

I have a 14 year old step daughter(my husbands 1st marriage-full custody) and let me tell you being a step mom is harder than being a regular mom.  I have worked thru a lot of things and have learned to let some things go.  I pick and choose my battles, having learned from daughter #1.  Step daughter has a variety of friends from rich parents down to poor parents.

with all that being said--the things I have learned
1.  I may not like my #1 daughters in laws(they have some pretty bad family, alcohol and drug issues)--however,  since my daughter has been in their life, they have strived to be better people, live better lives and take care of themselves.   we have come to an understanding that our children are important to us (and our grandchildren) and life is too short to be petty.  we may not agree on many things but what we have in common is what our priorities are and that is that!
2.  school isn't always fair to our children--school is there for learning and everything else that comes with it is sometimes hard to deal with.  parents just need to be involved and stand up and shout when need be.
3.  im not perfect--nor will I ever be.  god keeps me here for reason, and I strive everyday to thank him for my life.

you guys that are in school or home schooled---what you need to do is learn to survive and deal with the jerks out there.  they will always be there and you need to be able to handle it.  if you watch people, you will learn a lot about them.  everyone has their insecurities and will over compensate to cover them up.  their lives aren't perfect.  they will torture you , to make them feel better about themselves and keep stuff hidden.  BELIEVE ME,  they have something wrong with them and they are hiding it.

Things I think will help you.
1.  Watch people, you will learn a lot that way.
2.  Don't sink to their level (including your neighbors, its none of their business)
3.  Do well in school, learn everything you can and get good grades.(hold your head high when walking that hall, and calmly say" thanks" when they start their crap, and walk away)
4.  Remember the real world is out there waiting for you,  it will be what you make it to be.  People you know in high school wont be your friends when you get older.  I am not friends with anyone from high school,  I know how to reach most of them thanks to face book.  But my real friends are people i have worked with and parents of my daughters friends.
5.  Family will always be there for you.
6. Stand up for yourself, keeping your mouth shut will get you no where in life.  Be respectful when opening your mouth, but make your point clear.
7. and most of all  THINK BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH OR BEFORE YOU ACT.
8. Stay away from alcohol and drugs--it doesn't help

Yes, my step daughter thinks i am the crazy lady, and i say to her "Who is the one who will always be here for you no matter what happens?"  She says "Daddy and you" 
and that....ends the conversation.

i apologize ahead of time if i have offended anyone.

Preach it sister! I'm with you 100% agreeable. I have taught my daughter what you have said and she is a strong, honest, straight forward, independent, smart well mannered and very much liked young lady. She is a senior in H.S. and almost off to college where she wants to be a pediatric nurse! I know that she will succeed in life and carry on my teachings to her children, if she ever has any? I am very blessed to have such a wonderful daughter!
