I got a email the other day form a relative, who by all accounts is pretty straight laced. In the email she decided to tell me that my actions, as posted on Facebook, are very much immature and some of them horrendous. I should be embarrassed of the things that go on. Talk about knocking me down a notch.
Now, I never did respond, I just deleted it before hubby could read it. I took it with a grain of salt, because really there are some pretty bad things posted. Yet if you truly knew me you would know that: a) it really isn't as bad as it looks and b) it's all about fun and yes somethings are posted WAY out of context.
I am not angry with my cousin nor am I with anyone who has posted things because I know what really went down. So this has brought me to the question; WHEN ARE YOU TO OLD?
Am I too old to be having the fun? Should I be setting a better example for my children? Should I just lay low into my forty's? I don't think so. I don't think I'm too old, 'cause there are other campers who are older than me heaving more fun....as for my children, it's not like I'm making them shooters.....I make sure that we keep the shooters and stuff away until they are gone.
If it was a 20 year old in my pic's instead of me, man people would be talking about how much she likes to party, but because I'm in my mid-thirties and a mother of two it's wrong. When did being married and having children make you old? Maybe grown up but not old. I will be the first to admit it. I love to have a good time.
My cousin took what she saw on Facebook and formed her opinion. But by doing so she has made me question myself and the fun I have in my spare time that I work hard for.
So, as I ponder if I'm too old to act a bit crazy I come to the realization that if I didn't have the fun I do have I would be a very bitter, straight laced, prim and proper person sending scolding emails to relatives.

You only live once.........please enjoy.
Sounds to me like you've discovered why Facebook has handy-dandy editing tools, where you can decide who gets to see how much of you as you want. I can't believe that anyone, let alone a relative would or even could say something like that!?!?!? If they loved you, they'd want you to be happy and having fun. You're not being irresponsible in any way, shape or form, your obligations are always met, first and formost. I say, live the life you want to live - as you only get one chance - and regrets suck!
ReplyDelete- Love from the one who has more 'immature' pics of you than any other human on the planet!
