Talk about a moment when you got annoyed with a married friend,
a person in a relationship, or a person with kids (Be honest! No judgment!)
I've thought a lot about this challenge over the past week or so. My first thought was how will I ever narrow it down to ONE moment when I got annoyed with someone? Ha! My second thought was I should write about a relationship I was in that I can almost guess others were annoyed by.
I remember even back when I was in high school and a really good friend of mine who was older was dating this guy who was just the biggest loser ever. I could never understand why she stayed with him. Then when I got into college, I had another girlfriend who dated verbally abusive guy(s) and just all around losers. Again, why did she stay with him?
We've all had friends who have dated someone we didn't like and wonder why they stuck around for so long. But, guess what? I've done it too, and I'm sure you the reader has too.
This is actually something I struggle with a lot. Where do you draw the line when it comes to sucking it up and being a supportive friend to someone who is in a relationship you do not agree with? I also think for me it's hard to be happy for someone when you're not happy yourself. (I'm pretty sure Cher/Alicia Silverstone said that in Clueless).
When it comes to parenting, we are all a bunch of Judge Judy's. Everyone has an opinion on how you should raise your kids. I'm always telling my sister that the kids need to have consequences for their actions and her and I disagree greatly when it comes to my niece having access to social media websites. Being that I don't have kids, I'm in no position to really form an opinion or be judgmental when it comes to parenting.
