Would You Eat A Rotten Orange?

Would you eat a rotten orange?

If you did, it would make you sick. It would... Impair you.

"Girl, she is spoiled rotten" **Big grin**...... "Really? Eww... That's disgusting."

That's not normally how that convo goes, but it should. Why do we think a spoiled rotten child is something we should brag about? If company comes to my house and finds an orange in the bottom tray that was forgotten about six months ago.. I'm embarrassed of it's presence. It's so nasty because it looks like I forgot about something that used to be pure & sweet. How could I have let this happen? Shame on me.

When you spoil a child, you are depriving them of good character. How does a rotten child act? Impatient, demanding, disrespectful. All the nasty qualities you wouldn't want anyone to find.

I know you want everyone to think you're a great parent. I know your excuse is that you want them to have more than you did when you were growing up. And I know it's so fun to show off, and it's pretty when shiny things sparkle. But you have to remember where we live. In America, where there is no royalty. Only a leeching government who sucks your blood every Friday, and citizens obsessed with out-blinging the next. It's apparent because of our economic state. People charging their lives away and then crying bankruptcy. And you still think it's cute to instill materialistic values in your child? I know.. You don't want to be told how to raise your child. But um... Wake up. Get off your parenting high horse and stop jousting your kid's future.

There was a King, and He did leave a manual for us. A virtue is a virtue because it's in our own best interest to posses them.  Weapons against anything that tries to attack us in life. The feeling of knowing that you can survive on your own is like holding power in your hands. Someone who expects things to be given to them is already disabled. You won't be able to push a wheelchair forever...

A child shouldn't be spoiled, just like an orange shouldn't have fuzz. It's not cute and it's not funny. And they're going to be so pissed when they find out you didn't tell them that the world is bigger than the toy isle in Walmart.
