Shower!!!!
Quote From: my_2angelsI'd like to start off by saying that I, too, wear my "Mommy-clothes" with pride. I do make sure to get a shower every day, but I have not worn makeup since I was a freshman in high school. Who needs all that goop on their face, anyways? If my husband decided to "look elsewhere" because I was too busy raising his children and cleaning his house and cooking his meals to be dropdead gorgeous every day of the week, then good riddance to him! SELF Matters does not mean "Self matters only if others are impressed by what they see." SELF Matters means that it's important to care about YOURSELF and BE yourself, not dress to impress others. And, frankly, if I'm too busy caring for my kids to get a shower, I still have pride in myself that I put my kids first and foremost to make sure that they are healthy and happy, well adjusted kids. Showers will wait. Kids grow daily and need as much of their parents' attention as possible.
On the "Mother Teresa" issue, why do you think she was called MOTHER Teresa? Because she DID have kids. Thousands of them! And she cared more about making sure she could care for others before caring for herself. And I highly doubt that she had less pride then the woman who feel like they have to put on a mask (makeup) to be beautiful.
If I can only be gorgeous for my husband one day a week, then it's a heck of a day. (*WINK*) But the other six days, I'm a mom first. My husband is grown up. That means he doesn't need me as much as my children do. it just goes to show that some women out in the richest country don't take pride in being clean on a daily basis. It makes me sick when I go to the store, church, movies etc and see young ladies dressed in thier PJ's and fuzzy slippers and have not showered is this what you mothers are now teaching your kids? what about self repect. You have no right being a parent! My mother and father raised 12 kids thats right 12 kids and every day my mother took a shower and had on clean ironed cloths as well did her kids. A proud mother is a mother that showers and put on clean cloths everyday. We do not live in a 3rd world county. We live in AMERICA. SHOWER show your kids you have self respect. Oh and for those mothers that don't shower, when your kids don't want to take a bath look at your self in the mirror don't get mad at your kids you taught them that its ok not to be clean!!!!!
