So I just saw a commercial for the latest season of Toddlers and Tiaras, and it had some quote about how watching the show makes someone feel like a good mother. Needless to say, my eyes rolled so far back into my head that I have gone blind, and typing this is difficult. Yes, because spending time with your beloved child, and spending money on them, and sharing an activity you both enjoy... that clearly makes you such a bad mother. I could understand a dumb quote like that after watching a particularly heinous episode of Wife Swap, or Jon & Kate, or maybe one of those nanny shows... but Toddlers and Tiaras? And why do you need a show to tell you that you're a good mother, anyway? My new quote these days has become "If you have to ask...", and I feel like this kind of applies here. More like "If you have to use a random show to decide whether or not you're a good mother..."
Also, I have another complaint, and I don't really care if this makes me seem jealous, because I know I'm not. But seriously? If all you can do is spend your whole life bragging about where you went to college, or an award you won twenty years ago (unless it's the Nobel Peace Prize, I suppose), or some famous person you met in an airport... I have to start to wonder if you've ever done anything else. Feel free to mention those things in conversation, and possibly expand on them a bit, but don't spend all day, every day talking about those things. You don't look cool, you just look boring and self-centered.
That's all for now...
