In Elementary School you were taught the saying “sticks and stones will break your bones but words will never hurt me”, huh, yeah right Bull crap!!!
Sunday was supposed to be a family day but my hubby and I had gotten off to a rocky start from the beginning. Every Sunday we make it a point to spend time with our son and he makes the decisions that day. Like, where to eat what to do, the movies or rent a movie or go the park. (He goes easy on us) Well my husband announces that he will be golfing that morning after church. My husband has pulled this in the past and He knows my reaction already, and besides Saturday are his golf days already.

Well, anyways he has been purchasing these Men’s fitness magazines and our son was looking through them. My son said “OOOOO dad bought these magazines and there are a lot of naked girls in it” I said “WHAT!” so I looked through it and lo and behold there were ads and pictures of half naked women. Needless to say I was upset and called him and told him we had to talk about the magazines. He returned my call and he said “I know what your going to say” I said “What am I going to say?” So we started back and forth.
So my mom lives with us and heard us talking about the magazines and she said “They are semi pornographic” (I guess she had already looked though them) Well this made him more upset because he felt he was being attacked.

So upon returning from his day of golf and relaxation he comes back with more magazines. He made a remark “Are you jealous?” WHAT THE FREAK!!!!! ????? Really???? No I was not jealous but did not want that in the house for my 9 year old son to see.
We have kids over all of the time and in no way do I want to be responsible for some kid looking and reading something inappropriate.
What he said hit me hard and I am still very hurt by the remark. I am an emotional eater so I went out that night and got me a big fat juicy burger and I large sized everything. I was so sick after eating it. I was so ashamed that I even ate it in my car. What is that about? Ugh I could have slapped myself.

Well recently we talked about it and everything is fine. I wrote him a letter telling him how those words he said felt to me. How the issue of the magazines was about morals and respect towards one another and not jealousy. He understood and he threw them away. I just had to vent about it sorry for the ramble. I just typed whatever was on my mind.
