Since when was just being a kid not cool any more?
This is not new news, I've seen this before but it seems to have become more popular in recent days. I have to say that this is the worst toy ever!! I don't have children, but my honey and I combined have 18 nieces and nephews. So my opinion should be a valid one, right?
I'm all about showing kids about life, but not like this. Toy makers have been making products for years that simulate real life.... mini lawnmowers, tea sets, vacuum cleaners, dolls that you feed, dolls that wet themselves, even cars. But I believe this Breast Milk Baby has just gone to far. I guess long gone are the days for the little bottles that when you turn upside down the milk disappears.
The only priority for kids, is to just be a kid!! They have to be kids before they can be grown ups!!
Why is society trying to make them grow up faster. I hear parents all the time say, "I wish my kid was still little!" Well quit buying all this adult stuff for them, let them play outside, let them use their imagination, let them play with kids, let them read books, let them be creative! Now a days all kids want to do is play video games, watch television, be inside! Let's make a change people!
I'm not saying the the doll will be the direct cause of Teen pregnancy, that's already the daily situation in most cities. This doll should be serving as a tool for older women who will be going through this, not a toy for little girls. It's just sad to see people so young, struggling to make it if they have no one to help them.
The company that makes the dolls had this to say:
"The whole purpose of the Breast Milk Baby is to teach children the nurturing skills they will need to raise their own healthy babies in the future." "We really do not understand why this has created such a controversy."
Oh, I don't know....maybe because little girls shouldn't be breast feeding!! Morons!!! What's next, is this company gonna make toys that show kids how to make the baby, you know since they're already preparing the kid to breast feed!! Geez!!
Parents just have to keep watch on what's out there for their kids!! Sometimes I'm scared to even think about bringing a baby into this world.

omg really!!
I'm just gonna go out and throw this out there.....but do we as a society really need another "Wives" reality show. I saw the preview for Mob Wives! Frankly, these women scared me and thank GOD they are not my neighbors..lol!! More wives.....really! Come on, we have wives of this or that city, we have wives of basketball players, rap stars! What's next - "This week on Wives of Dealership mechanics." ok if someone decides to make a show on Dealership mechanic wives, just know it was my idea first.....so give me my money!! ☺
I've just been sucked into too many reality shows......my eye's hurt, my heart hurts, and my head hurts. Can I just say that the Jersey Shore finale was kind of weak sauce.....instead of This season on Jersey Shore it should have been this season on Love is not a Shore thing!! Every episode was about RoidRageRon and TheSweetestBitch you'll ever meet Sam!! I think I'm done with them!! lol!! This show was my guilty pleasure..... :(
I think I'll just stick to my drama shows for a while!

Ok, I'm Back!!
I am back from the evil clutches of "TheFlu", okay maybe it still has like one claw still on me!! This cough is no joke! Being sick for the past hundred days, really it was only 7 but it truly sucked and felt much longer! Honey and I were both out sick and stuck in bed! I can't believe how quickly it spread to him, I got it Sat. then he got it Sun. really bad.
I just want to thank the heavens for meds. Thank you to NyQuil, Dayquil and Halls....I may have damaged my liver but I feel soooooo much better...lol!! Oh yeah....with all this science and the never ending discoveries...why can't NyQuil taste like soda or maybe candy? I mean I know I'm not the only one that ever thinks that, right?
While being sick and stuck in bed I was able to do some reading..... I'm a sucker for paranormal and fantasy so these are the books I read.

I've been slacking!
I think I've been suffering from a case of ADD!! I can't seem to keep it together lately.....work and stuff related with school is driving me nutz!! Ok, the program that I'm working towards only accepts 15 applicants per year.....out of 80!! This is really , really frustrating!! Then I have to do volunteer work, and they would prefer that you follow someone around that is in that particular field.....yes, like someone will allow a person that is trying for that degree to follow them around. No, not that easy! So I'm now calling nursing homes so that I can get some volunteer hours in!! Which by all means I don't mind at all! I know how hard it is for some elderly people to get around or do daily things. Sorry, just venting!!
later!
later!
