Happy Friday!
We made it through another week, bring on the weekend! I love xanga, I have met some interesting people on here. But with the good comes the bad. Someone has found it necessary to use this forum to attack my daughter about her pregnancy. Anonymously asking why she would have another child when she is low income.Stating they have to support people like her. Wow, this blew me away. It really shouldn't have .I mean I have heard alot worse.I guess the anonymity bothers me most of all.It also bothers me that no one ever questions what her husband or other family members are doing to help..what is up with that. Why attack her...??
I have always stood up..right or wrong . I respect those that do the same.
My pregnant daughter works 40 plus hours a week. Usually walking to work in the middle of a cold Michigan winter.She also babysits. She only takes help when absolutely needed. She is proud and strong and courageous.She is a loving mother who has battled off depression, poverty and unemployment. Though at times I am sure she had to swallow her pride...She has done so with her head held high.She has done everything humanly possible to make a rough situation better. Many people would have walked away long ago.I am extremely proud of her and I want her to know it is o.k. to accept help. We are suppose to care for one another.She gives more in a kind glance than most people give in a lifetime. To know her is to be blessed! I love you my sweet "T"
Some of you know my Tanya and read her xanga post, if ya haven't been by in awhile this would be a good time to give her some love and hugs!
I will leave you this morning on a lighter note..actually a picture. ...
look how cute my puppy is.
She brings me toys and just looks at me until I play with her.

oooooooooooooh. Squishes for the cute doggie!!!
And I agree with you. I read Tanya's post, was irritated also by someone's presumption, but also pretty impressed with Tanya's response. (go girl!)
WOW. It never fails to amaze me how some people find it necessary to ruin what is supposed to be a networking, fun thing like Xnaga or Myspace. It irritates me to no end. I'm sure whoever left the comments to your daughter is not perfect and should take a moment to realize that we live our own lives- and they should live THEIR own. It's sad that someone coud be so cruel to someone who is trying...trying to make ends meet, someone who wants to work and doesn't want to ask for help. Ugh. I hope your daughter can see ast the ugly experience she has had and can enoy web blogs like Xanga. Just remind here that some people are so ulgy on the inside that they sometimes (sadly, a lot of the time actually) want everyone around them to be negative and hateful too. Some people just enjoy "stirring the pot" which irritates that crap out of me!
On a lighter note, I have been meaning to comment any time that you post pictures of your dog- SOOO CUTE! Such a pretty dog! Having fur-babies of my own I know how much fun dogs are and what joy they bring to my life! And P.S. - I Lovvvvve border collies!! SMART dogs!
@bbear3177 - thanx for your kind words...and mutual puppy adoration!
I never saw that. That's pretty hateful. She's fortunate to have a mom like you, I guess you wished she was closer though but that's what happens when they grow up.
I got an e-mail today, which basically told us Ontarians to quit moaning, because they showed us winter scenes from Watertown NY. No doubt you're really going to get creamed where you are. We will get it bad too but NY State and eastern Ontario will really get nailed.
Thank you for the comment... I just could not allow that person to get away with that without saying something. And they still don't seem to get it. I really liked those verses you posted in your comment to her, though, and they are very true. You should never kick a person when they are down. And besides that, I've known families who have to struggle a little more to survive to raise their children better and pay more attention to them. When you can't afford childcare it's almost a blessing because your child gets more attention and in a low income home where everything is done cautiously, a child learns how to live and work and support their family, growing up with wonderful lessons and values that perhaps a wealthy family's child would go without.
HOW WRONG!!! I am so sorry for your daughter hun.That person should be ashamed of themselves. My daughter works also and she is on Wic for Jaydon and she is on Peachstate for them both. I am so sorry.God bless.
Some people are just plain ignorant....if folks would just try to live alittle more by the golden rule we'd all be better off.....I'm so glad she has you...
I'm sorry that some are so cruel and insensitive. And to hide is even worse. I will pop over to your daughter's site just to say hello.
Haha...Well I would if I had the link, lol.
Thanks for stopping by my site. I am sorry your daughter had to run in to that ugliness. It happens everywhwere but I find most Xangans to be kind. To be truthful, the only time I've experienced trouble on Xanga it came from another direction, another blogging site. My son learned a valuable experience from that.

I dont think anyone should attack your daughter for being pregnant. They should know better.
Cute dog.
Hi, I was browsing the blogring and came across your site. So I wanted to say hello.
What a precious pup. And Wow that was so cruel of someone passing judgement on your daughter, let alone someone else! Some people are unbelievable and to be a coward not to have named themselves. Like I said to your daughter, you should never judge someone until you walked in there shoes a long time. good luck
Thank you for the link
I stopped by to say hello and let her know how horrible I think it was that someone left that comment. It is amazing how cruel some can be to others. 
I hope you and your family have a great Monday! Thanks again for the link
wow, i hadn't been around to read your reader's responses... i feel so loved now!!
leelee and i started school this week... go my page to see our progress...
I am so sorry for unfeeling comments left for your precious daughter. She sounds incredible, and I will go by and visit her blog. For a young woman to be working and taking responsibility for herself and family is a great thing for anyone to be proud of in an uplifting way. I know she is a winner, a survivor and life is good and will continue to be good for her for it is what is in our hearts that counts, that makes us rich.
