I found the image online without a credit attached to it, but if you think that’s her son. I’d happily add a credit to the post!
Thanks!

I guess your example proves that mom can be right on and a little off all at once!

Lynn — Good point. It’s a fine line between letting things roll off your back and standing up for yourself.

My mother’s advice was to just ignore what wasn’t pleasant. In some cases, that’s okay, because now it’s hard to annoy me unless you’re actually trying to. But when I was bullied as a child and, umm, harassed as an adult, Not So Good. So I tell my kids to ignore what they can, but if that doesn’t fix it, ask for help and keep asking.

Well, first of all, I”m all for curing Adultitis, but hey, I’m not gonna stop wearing clean underwear because I think mom was really right on this one! Frankly, I like to feel fresh. Unless I’m camping. And then there is the whole “going commando” aspect that I won’t get into ’cause I think this is a family blog.

But, I always wondered why “in case you get into an accident?” Because what’s probably the first thing you’re going to do in an accident? That’s right. So then you’re back to square one.

So while Mom is right about proper hygiene, I think the reasoning is a little off kilter, don’t you?

Here is my secret: I haven’t told my parents I left the corporate job and building my own business. . .
I agree with your God comment. I say “My parents gave me birth. God gave me life.” Must choose my divine purpose over my parents’ satisfaction sometimes.
