Hey There!
Welcome to Nut House Central: An intimate inside look at my crazy life. Where squirrels and nuts are always the order of the day. -Kammie S "Mamma Squirrel"
Another senseless round of murder. I’m so over these excuses that we have a gun problem. Guns have been around for how long?
Let me hit you with a wallop of knowledge. GUNS DO NOT PULL THEIR OWN TRIGGER!
Mental Health issues have been on the rise for years. Shutting down the country for almost 2 years decreased peoples ability to get help. School system’s refusing to address children’s behavior in the early years because parents don’t want to face facts has increased the instability and the abilities that caregivers have to be proactive and advocate.
Parents and adults you need to wake the heck up and start paying attention. Quit worrying about what society says is OK and what is normal. We’re not a stupid people but we’re allowing people to tell us what is best when it’s obviously the opposite. Think for yourselves. Get off your phone get off the TV get off the social media and play a boardgame with your kids. Check in with them. Be the parent that is reaching out and asking the teachers how they’re doing. Our job is not to be their friends. Our job is to raise them to be able to function in a screwed up society. We are not doing them any favors. The accountability does not lie on the guns.
I am not a perfect parent. I do the best that I can. Do you have any idea how hard it is to be a parent these days when everyone is doing the devils work?
My heart breaks for these families.
I heard someone say “put your parenting panties on.” Best thing I’ve heard. It’s not comfortable but it’s not supposed to be. It’s not about how other people see you. How do you want your child to see things?
I could write so much on why this falls on the adults. Should guns be easily accessible to minors. Well duh-no. But they are and they have been. People grow up in the country. They learn how to use them appropriately that’s nothing new. People learn how to carry and shoot for protection. Most of us don’t go around shooting at people because they’re annoying. My boys will learn to shoot for hunting-to spend time with their grandparents. Not to act a fool.
Mental healthcare needs to be accessible and affordable and parents need to step up and get rid of these people running these administrations (not just Washington) that clearly do not have our future in mind.
