Society can eat it..

Ok, I have never claimed to be the best mom in the world. I am not expecting my mother of the year award to be arriving in the mail anytime soon. And I accept critism from my older family members. But from other mothers off the street? I mean really..
Now, Im more of a "Roseanne" type of mom. Im a smart ass, I tend to yell and I dont cater to my childrens every single need. I teach them to do for themselves. I teach them to laugh at themselves when things get tough. I teach them to be strong and not to worry about what others think. I teach them right and wrong and the golden rule.
I do not schedule them within an inch of their lives. I do not coddle them on their every whine. My kids are very familar with the saying "suck it up cupcake".
Now, that may sound like Im a bitch of a mother.. but there is ALOT of laughter in my house. And there is alot of love. My kids know that I love them more then anything. And I know that they love me. And I do try to do everything in my power to make them happy. I want them to have a better childhood then I did. And for the most part, I think they are.
So, for some "uppity stick up her ass mom" to come at me and tell me that my kids will not amount to anything because Im not letting them live up to their potential by having them schedule with all these activites is completly asinine.. And it pisses me off to no end. I feel like the kids that have helicopter parents will not be able to function out in the real world on their own.. For they can not make decisions for themselves, nor use their imagination. And as far as thinking outside the box...forget.
Im sick of society telling me how to raise my kids. Im sick of society telling me that because Im going through a divorce I should acting differently then I am. Im sick of society as a whole.
I know that being different affects my kids. I know that their friends moms thinks Im some crazy lunatic..and for that I am sorry it if affects them. But this is me.. I choose what  I want to do with my life and my kids life..if you dont like..then well, youre free to walk away.
This is why I dont have a lot of "mom" friends. Because I cant stand the competition between moms and how the children are raised and developing.
So yeah, anyways, I vented.. lol This shit pisses me off. But I am calm in the fact, that I know that my children will walk out my door when the time comes, knowing how the REAL world works..and be able to survive in it.
Lets see if the stepford wives kids can....
