Still on the #100dayproject2018 |
I had either hand me downs or something I
detested!! I could never argue my way out of it
either. I was just told to wear it! My knee sock
were slightly too short, bought on dollar forty
nine days...Once washed the elastic
gave way, and they slid down my legs!
They had to be well worn before a new pair
was considered! Other kids had stylish
outfits and new shoes every six months!

I was passed clothes from a cousin
seven years my senior and another two
years older! By thirteen I was babysitting
and saving up to buy my own clothes.
I finally felt like myself.
made sure my daughter was always stylish
and felt good in her attire. It did mean a few
concessions as I reasoned with a two year
old who refused to wear a few outfits!

At least I listened to her objections
and compromised! She was making
good choices early and continued to
do so throughout her life!
However the reason I brought this up
and compromised! She was making
good choices early and continued to

However the reason I brought this up
was because I also believed it was important
to send your children to school well groomed.
In hopes that others would would treat them
well! Sadly unkempt children are often
ostracized and dismissed by others!
A child with greasy hair and runny
nose often needs the most love
love, yet gets the least!

Even though I was well groomed as
a child I felt slumpy in my over sized skirts
...and teachers didn't always treat me well!
That's why I think sometimes it's
important to help an elderly parent
with grooming and hygiene, should
they need it! A kind reminder if they
tend to forget!

Even if they say they're fine
Even if they say they're fine
I'm sure many would enjoy the
attention.
If they seem to be sloppier than
in the past. It might be
a signal to lend a hand! It's
not likely they'll ask for help.
People tend to care for those who
are well groomed and cared for.
That's not always fair but seems
to be how it works! I'm sure care
homes are no different! It's human
nature to gravitate to clean shiny
things!!

Just my two cents for today!
Would you ever ask for
