Amway Stephanie managed to blow Amway jennifer out of the water with her kindness. <br /><br />I had a friend who sold Amway (we called them the Amdroids) and while he was a nice guy, he was always "on" and selling. Like you said, roof over his kids' heads and food, etc. It got to be old real fast.<br /><br />I think sticking up for your son is THE thing to do. I don't really care what people say to/about me but don't mess with my kids. He will grow up knowing that he is not alone and he always has someone at his back-not a bad thing to know.<br />Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-15726370845416734382014-06-26T00:10:33.095-05:002014-06-26T00:10:33.095-05:00You know, I'm really glad that it worked out t...You know, I'm really glad that it worked out the way it did in the end. I think it's great that you were able to find not only a way of demonstrating how even when you think you're just talking to the metaphorical wall, people can and will hear you (both good and bad haha), but that you were also able to help spread the fact that sometimes people will choose to do the right thing to make up for someone else's wrong. It's a good lesson of how to treat others for everyone involved, from your teen son to the grown sales woman who approached him. Really, this probably couldn't have turned out better since Stephanie was in this case a role model of how to act when you've seen someone else do something bad, rather than only the life lesson of how to apologize when you've done/said something you shouldn't have. I think we all need that reminder sometimes that we aren't just powerless onlookers when we witness negativity.<br /><br />PS--The writer of that comment...wow! I'm caught between laughing at the absurdity and really unhappily shocked that there is a real person behind those words somewhere. Given how the vast majority of women folk prefer their men with "sensitivity" as she describes it (is this a roundabout way of saying we prefer our men with pussies, because that's hilarious), I'm not sure we can really say who is setting whose son up for more success and happiness in life, but I can say that someone needs to maybe rethink her own parenting style choices if she believes that the options in life are either two parents living in a single home or a structured society based on rote memorization and humiliation as core components... Then again, she can't seem to figure out how emotional guidance is preferable to forcibly washing your son's face for him (because SOMETIMES he's 6 and OTHER TIMES he's 16, like how when he's 6 he shouldn't be watching South Park, but at 16 he should be exposed to weaponry and violence leading to PTSD)?? Goodness gracious.

Or perhaps I can ask my co-workers who support me and laugh with me as I navigate this journey. Family Values, divorce, South Park, acne, kids as pussies (?), and rudeness accckk... it's all about PERCEPTION PEOPLE. Not nice people annoy me.
