the mom stuff :D
9 years ago
So i was looking at pictures of my son. Its like, "whoa" cause he's nothing like he was a year ago. This kid is climbing and learning like no tomorrow. I bought this toy that has blocks that tumble down one side and balls roll down the other. He got that quickly. I use visuals to teach him how to use things. He's like that's awesome and does it. after a few tries, he gets how it works. (btw my kid may never learn to sign as a baby >.< life is just so busy and i'm the only one that knows ASL in my house.)
He has an obsession with cars that confuses me, but that's okay. everyone has something they like. He won't play with it unless it rolls on wheels most of the time, which is totally killing the problem solving puzzle toys i got. He likes the problem solving but he seems to think the ones that roll are cooler.
Its really hard to look back and believe that this toddler was a baby. Hell, its hard to believe he's my kid. He's survived a lot by having me as a mom. It's hard to have a workaholic mom that's indecisive between family and work. Its a process. I'm slowly letting go of my workaholic ways. Just a bad habit, cause its been just me most of my life.
In other news, I'm really dead set on moving back to California. Southerners are too judgmental for us. California is more open minded. Some may think that sounds funny. I'm tired of being told my son needs to learn gender roles and all this crap. I hated hearing that shit growing up. I am not going to have my son endure machismo bs they have in the South. My brother josh has always struggled with it. He has never been able to be himself cause of it, so he pretends to be like where ever he is. I want my son to feel free to be who he is and live in a more open minded world. I don't like how some Californians can be, but its better than the arguments i have been getting into daily over my parenting style. I maybe a new parent, but i've come to learn what kind of parent i want to be to my son. People wanna argue cause i'm letting my son's hair grow, cause I think its cute like it is. I may cut the bangs one day when it gets too much in his eyes, but he's also free to decide what he wants. if he wants a retarded fucked up hair cut, he can have it. He'll have to leave with it til it grows back out too. That's how life is. i want him to live as he is and feel he's free to express himself as he is. This box people have already put him in here in TN is ridiculous.
Oh and the fact that he's part Mexican is worse for him here. My boyfriend gets tempted to tell people to shut up and stop fucking up his language. The shit people say to him is just retarded. He got asked in walmart if he was even legal cause he was speaking spanish to a woman. He left the cashier line and left his stuff behind.
It still maybe a year before I go cause i wanna transfer with section 8 for security, but I'm no longer unsure if i'm going to nc or ca next. I am not letting my son endure this bs.
