In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place.
If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!
You see, I'm in
the Red Queen's Race...
A Pampered Generation

"There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."

Is this just a Southern problem or is this nationwide?
Beauty pageant moms living through their daughters is bad enough.
But to waste time on this is beyond comprehension.
Yes, we want to teach our children to take care of themselves. Doing that in today’s world means first and foremost exercising, eating right, and getting enough sleep. And, as a parent you should be spending quality time with your children. There are a lot of better ways to do that than making a Stepford child by sitting in a spa all day. These moms must be planning that their daughters will marry wealthy men and they will have maids and cooks and never have to lift a finger.
Somehow I think an afternoon of making a favorite recipe with mom, learning how to repair or build something around the house with dad, camping, hiking , biking, volunteering, anything...is going to help these girls learn to "take care of themselves" better than a day at the spa.
How sad for these girls.
