Being a Teen, Part Deux

Just a bit of an add on to my first post (“Being a Teenager”). Today, while at Wal Mart, I was watching Kelli while my mother, Leesha and Jessi were picking out some clothes. Two older women came up to me and started talking to me, (to my face!) saying how irresponsible I am, having a baby at such a young age (‘terrible and shocking, how young people behave these days, in my day, this never would have happened’) and ‘to make matters worse, you take her out in 120 degree weather, so irresponsible’.

I was completely shocked by their words to me and after me stammering out “Kelli is not my baby.” (to which they replied, ‘You should at least take responsibility for your actions.” [Just a question: Why do older adults always feel that they are right and we (younger people, or anyone, really) are wrong?]) After this whole spectacle, I walked away, without any more protests (I know, I need to develop a spine, LOL).

NOTE: To any of you reading this, who live in the Greater Toronto Area, it was NOT 120 degrees outside today, by either temperature scale! 

Anyone, teens or otherwise, who have had similar experiences, please post! Everyone, feel free to leave comments.

Peace Out :)

  1. Allow them honey, their attitude speak about themselves. Be happy with your sisters or whoever child you are fond of.
