Love this post -- it really made me stop and think about all the ways my actions contradict the lessons I'd really like my kids to learn (like judge people by what's on the inside -- hard for me, too).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07853488802553051416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066208660688484085.post-4667383957871701122010-01-07T19:10:34.912-08:002010-01-07T19:10:34.912-08:00Like others have said - don't beat yourself up...Like others have said - don't beat yourself up. Mommies that stay at home sometimes can't win for losing. If we care about what we are wearing than we feel guilty, if we don't we look sloppy and then we feel guilty.

What she really should have said was "these outfits that make us look homeless are all the rage and I wanna look like a Cheetah Girl". At least that's what my Princess says. But the idea is sweet anyway :) Thanks for stopping by from SITS.

These days I don't spend much time on my physical appearance (e.g. I just went to the grocery store and realized I had forgotten to brush my hair. Oops!), but I will say that I often feel better about myself when I do. I think there's a fine line between maintaining an appearance that conveys health and self-respect and obsessing over how we look. Too often I think my "ensembles" suggest that I don't care much about anything, let alone myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066208660688484085.post-89141904272086502942010-01-07T08:52:38.822-08:002010-01-07T08:52:38.822-08:00I would like to add to TKW's comment.
Don'...I would like to add to TKW's comment.<br /><br />Don't be too hard on yourself. Really, the saying "first appearance is everything" is partly true. What are you trying to convey in the outfit you chose? I am guilty of the same thing. I cringe when I see someone wearing something that..um...doesn't fit them well so certain body parts are hanging out. An unappealing outfit, to say the least.<br /><br />I am very conscious of how I look. I don't want to be viewed as a "mommy." I want people to know I take care of myself. That I am conscientious of my clothes, make-up, and hair. I want to be stylish. I won't mention that I rarely do my hair before 5...<br /><br />Sigh. As your daughter said, it's what's on the inside that counts. Can your daughter tutor me?amber_mtmchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871256362646081536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066208660688484085.post-4204205786679911482010-01-07T08:31:55.953-08:002010-01-07T08:31:55.953-08:00Maybe boys are different because I just can't ...Maybe boys are different because I just can't let mine dress themselves.

Oh My God! She is a precocious little minx!<br /><br />Dude, you beat yourself up worse than anyone I know (oh wait, except me).<br /><br />Of course we judge people by appearances, even before we meet/talk to them. We size them up before engaging them, trying to figure out the safest form of approach. Kinda a lotta like animals, right? Don't want to put ourselves into danger...<br /><br />That said, I think it's a worthy goal to try to temper that instinct. I'm wondering if your Mama was, by any chance, Southern? My Mama is always rather dismayed by my dissheveled appearance. She always instructs me to "go put on some lipstick" or "why aren't you wearing any of that nice jewelry I gave you?"<br /><br />She thinks I'm beautiful (as all Mama's do) but she always has an "outfit" on with a matching belt and an appropriate handbag. SO not me.<br /><br />As for your daughter--good for you! I *try* to let Miss D. dress herself, and sometimes let her out of the house looking like a circus sideshow, but often she chooses something totally weather-inappropriate. Like yesterday. Snowing like mad and the child chooses a plaid miniskirt.<br /><br />Anyways, sorry so long-winded! I obviously was provoked by this post!TKWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409505008377005185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2066208660688484085.post-14762475527978215592010-01-07T04:09:43.747-08:002010-01-07T04:09:43.747-08:00Out of the mouths of babes!
