Priority: A thing that is regarded as more important than another


We all have priorities in every stage of life...

Weather it's from doing our math homework before we get to go play with our friends outside.
Whether it's not calling out of work so you can go to the that really cool party this weekend.
Whether it's blowing off your friends so you can study for you final exams.
Whether it's meeting your husband for dinner instead of going out to a club with friends.
Whether it's realizing you have a human being in your body and you will do nothing to harm it.
Whether it's spending time with your child teaching them how to talk, walk, and be social, even if you lose your best friend over it.
Whether it's setting up a plan for that child to grow up in the best environment you possibly can provide, without putting your selfish tendencies before them.

The list goes on....
A priority is a sacrifice. What are you going to sacrifice in order to get the task done.

So, now that we are all clear on what a priority is, let's get started!

My BIGGEST problem with men and women now a days is the fact that their children are not their first priority. I see these mothers smoking and drinking while pregnant. I see parents dragging their children through 5 different men or women calling them their new mom or dad.  I see mothers losing their children over something that could have been prevented with a little brain power.  I see mothers getting abortions because they made one little mistake. Question: If you decided to keep that child, wouldn't you HATE yourself for ever thinking about aborting that kid??  I see mothers acting like they have no care in the world for their child unless they are in public and trying to impress and quite frankly, it absolutely disgusts me.

I am giving my mother a virtual hug right now because, even though through my teenage years I thought she was the worst mother in the world, so unfair, blah blah blah, I quickly came to realize she is the greatest mother anyone could ever ask for. She is someone who really had her priorities straight through a tough situation. She had plenty of chances to do all those bad things, smoke while pregnant, hang out with friends other than her children, had an abortion. But she didn't, she had her head on straight, and her priorities were in order. Children come first.
                                             Love ya momma!

My second biggest problem is the fact that parents aren't willing to work in order to keep their family/self afloat.  They think it's easier to cash an unemployment check, collect alimony/child support, marry rich or sell drugs to make money. No. Get off your ass and get a second, third, fourth job if you need to! Because honestly, if you have no money to make your bills and feed your family, do you really have time to go party it up with your friends?
Priorities.


I have sat back and watched these things happen in lives around me, and there is nothing you can do. People are set in their ways and really don't wanna hear how bad they suck at living their life.


Now I'm no saint by any means, but at least I have my priorities straight.
