Life is not fair...

 

And I taught that to my children. You live with it,

deal with it and go on... It is life.

 

I read recently in my home state of Rhode Island that a

school has stop having father/ daughter dances or dinners.

Why, you ask? Because there is a woman who is a single mom

and her daughter didn't have a father to go to the dinner with.

In the old days, when such things came up.. there were men in

the woman's life that would fill in. Uncles, Grandfathers, Brothers, or a good friend of the family...

 

Why didn't this woman have such a person go to the dinner

with her daughter? Why did she chose to shut down a long

time tradition? How selfish of her. To ruin for so many other,

because she couldn't come up with a solution. And shame on

the school for feeding into the selfishness.

 

Parents have to teach their children that life IS NOT FAIR.

Never will be, all the time. They need to learn how to cope,

with disappointment. Some days are roses and some days

are thorns.

 

As we women say, pull up your big girl pants and deal

with it.. and get on with life.
