Everything you thought you knew about child rearing is wrong

Who gives a good gat dam? What works in my house, may not have worked in yours and vice versa. I was the kid who didn’t require potty training. I think I was waking my mama and daddy up at 2 am holding myself.

I slept with my mama and daddy til I was 11 or 12. That’s abnormal to most people, but I WANTED to sleep there and even though my mother tried to kick me out of the bed, I would pretend to want to watch the news and then be “sleeping” when it ended and my mom would be saying, “get your a$$ up” and my dad would be like, “leave that boy alone”. (Now, when he wanted a hit, I’d wake up to him carrying me to my bed in the middle of the night).

That’s VERY abnormal to most of my friends, but then, so was having my mom and dad sleep in the same house every night.

Let them eat cake. I’m a grown a$$ man now and I BELIEVE I’m normal.

LMAO @ StillSassy! (Magic is something else, ain’t it?) LMAO!

I grew up in that extended family household. We all slept with our parents until we were at 11-12 and sometimes longer. Hell, that’s all we knew. We didn’t have room for everyone to have their own bed. At one point growing up it was 15 of us in the house. One bathroom, 4 bedrooms. There is difference between a child that sleeps with their parents and can break away and the child who is so attached with the parent that they always want to be under them. And some parents handicap their kids so much that they have no choice but to depend on them….and sometime throughout adulthood. I say let Suri be free to be her own self within reason. Now if she has no respect for authorities, then there’s a problem.

I was one of those kids, I never wanted to be around kids. I just loved grown folk. Where my mama and daddy went, I wanted to be. My parents would have company and give me money to go outside and “play with some kids”, and I would take the money and put it up and still sit there and listen. LMAO!

When I was 17, my best friend had a child who was also 17.

I was clingy, but not because I didn’t want to be away from my mama, but because I didn’t care for children. As an adult, I’m super independent. My mom and dad call every year, “what do you want for your birthday/Christmas, etc.?”… Nothin’. I’m the ONLY one who never asks for a damn thing.

I have an aunt and I’m her favorite, she still sends me like $50 every year and I’m like, “PLEASE stop!!” LOL

Another aunt just came into a few hundred thousand dollars and she hooked everybody up, but of course (I’m her favorite too), she wanted to give me three times what my cousins got (equal to what she gave her own kids), I told her, “no! you’ve been broke your entire life, don’t give away your money! keep it!”… she got a second check in january and called again to offer me money, “no thanks… keep it for when I need something, right now I’m not broke, but when I get broke, it’ll be good to know I got a “reserve” at your house.” and that’s the only way I got her to leave me alone about it.

I say all that to say, I was clingy and needy and now I’m the COMPLETE opposite. Don’t need nobody around, don’t care if you call. Ain’t had sex since 2009 (excluding my self love sessions) and I’m totally loving it!)

Oh, I will admit that my mother had this silk robe and I stole the belt and slept with it throughout my teen years. I loved rubbing that silk part until I fell asleep. LMAO!

I took that thing with me when I left home and lost it. I was on my way to Bahrain and they gave me a little thin throw on the plane because I was cold and it had that “silk” stuff at the end that reminded me of my mom’s belt.

Trust and believe that it’s 19 years later, and I woke up with that thing in my bed this morning. I wakes up in the middle of the night and be juuuusta pattin’ around my mattress, feeling for it.

And, what? LMAO!
