Blame....it's an easy out!
If you blame someone for YOUR actions, then they're the bad guy-not you!
AND THEN YOU WAKE UP!
Parents....they have responsibilities to their children.
What if your child behaves like you....and all along you have been blaming someone else for your bad behavior? Do you hold your child responsible for their bad behavior....
I mean after all-they learned it from you! It's a slippery slope!
Bad behavior IS bad behavior!
Period!
No excuses!
I didn't feel good today...so I slept with my best friends husband!
I didn't feel good today so I lied to everyone I know!
I didn't feel good today so I neglected my parental duties!
I didn't feel good today so I rationalized my integrity away!
I didn't feel good today so I lied to a police officer!
I didn't feel good today so I ......
It doesn't really matter if you felt good or not!
WHAT YOU DID WAS WRONG!
NOW OWN IT!
SO YOUR CHILDREN WILL QUIT LEARNING FROM YOUR
SORRY EXAMPLE OF PUTTING BLAME ELSEWHERE
WHEN IT SQUARELY BELONGS ON THE SHOULDERS OF
THE PERSON CHOOSING POORLY!!!!
It's the right thing to do....coming clean.
It's not easy-
But it's right!
So where does the blame go....
On the person who did something wrong!
HMMMMMMM....
Not a new concept-
but perhaps a forgotten one by some!
