Ok, let's blame our moms . . . easy out . . . They called us bossy! . . . gimme a break! Once there's peer pressure, you can't blame everything on moms; they'll soon be calling you bossy! | NO... NO... to banning the word bossy! Want me to give you list of other words with negative connotation? And many, worse than bossy . . . How about teaching them, "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."? It's only a word, not a diagnosis. As parents I feel we should try to teach our children to know the difference . . . when to, and when not to, be offended by any negative descriptive terms. Consider the source, and rise above it! Life is the school of learning learning to overcome adversity. |
