Improper Swimsuit 2

After my first improper swimsuit post, I didn’t think I would be putting another one out after what I saw last summer.  I’m still seeing violations that I wrote about in my previous post and now I’ve seen some stuff I didn’t think people would do.

If your swimsuit has more than two big holes in it, first you need to throw it away immediately and second YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT for wearing it out in public. People should know better than that to walk out of the house with their swimsuit looking like it stretched way too far and couldn’t hold together.  Either that or the swimsuit is just that old.  Either way, throw that damn thing away if it has holes in it.

Pregnant women, before you take this the way and don’t get me wrong they can have as much fun at the pool or lake just like every one else but here’s the dilemma, should they be allowed to wear a two piece swimsuit instead of a one piece swimsuit?  Here’s the problem with this situation and what I saw to make me say this but with a two piece swimsuit like a skimpy bikini on some pregnant women, it looks like from certain angles that they are walking around completely ass out at the pool.  That’s not a good look and remember that there are kids at the pools too.  So don’t get mad if a young kid points and say mommy why she just has a top on.  I highly suggest wearing a tankini with visible bottoms or a one piece swim suit to prevent that from happening.  Just a thought that’s all.

I’m really trying to be understanding about certain thing such as an older woman wearing a strapless swimsuit but when the twins if you know what I mean hang to the lower part of your stomach and you have to keep pulling it up every time you get in and out of the water, that’s not a good look and YOU NEED YOUR ASS BEAT!!!!  Gravity has taken over and you’re no spring chicken anymore.  It’s time for a little help to give the elusion that gravity hasn’t taken oven quite yet and get a swimsuit with straps.

When you are in the comforts of home and your backyard, you can wear whatever you would like whether it has holes all over, doesn’t fit right or doesn’t match.  I know that it may sound kind of mean to say those things but when you walk out of your house and around public like that, you are fair game unfortunately. Hopefully you have some very good friends or family that would keep you from walking out of the house like that.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until next time, stay cool

You Can’t Blame the Youth

There has been a lot that has been said about the younger generations of kids.  Some good and some bad but unfortunately the bad has been more publicized instead of find a solution to the problem.  For a start you can’t blame all the youth for some of their misfortunes.  There’s a start to everything that morph into something that had you shaking your head and saying YOU NEED YOU ASS BEAT!!!!  For starters, let’s start with the parents.  Some parents are setting some bad examples and then sending these kids out in the world.

Like the music you listen to as a parent.  It doesn’t matter what you listen to whether it’s hip hop, rock n roll, country or anything else but don’t listen to songs that curse every other word around young kids and then get mad when they get in trouble at school because they told the teacher that they go hard as a m**** f**** in math.  Now you’re at your kid’s school trying to explain where they got it from trying to blame someone else.  I’m not saying to stop listening to your choice of music just remember that if you have kids, especially young kids don’t listen to the most explicit songs around them.  Some radio stations do have decent music to listen without the cursing.

One big thing for me is don’t get mad at a child for wearing certain clothes when as a parent you wear those same things.  For example ladies if you wear shorts that look like a pair of underwear, how are you going to tell a child not to wear that?  Isn’t that the pot calling the kettle black?  As a parent, you should try to lead by example.  And a good example at that like not coming out of the house looking like Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne or some other celebrities that dresses a little over the top.  Also, make sure your kids are changing their clothes and taking baths or showers.  It’s not good to see a kid in the same clothes for a whole week with the same food stain in the same spot.  I know kids have a tendency spill a lot but they are not that accurate to spill in the same spot every single day.  They will add to it too.  And make sure their clothes fit.  Don’t send a kid out in a shirt that supposed to be a long sleeve shirt but the sleeves stop at their upper forearm.

Another real big thing for me is just because you are out somewhere with your kids, that doesn’t mean you can take a break from being a parent.  There’s nothing worse than being out somewhere and seeing kids running all over the place, running into people and getting into stuff they shouldn’t be doing while the parent or parents act like they don’t see them doing that until someone else says something.  Now they get mad when someone tripped their child because they were told to stop running around the store.

Most mothers and father these days need to realize that they are their child’s first teacher.  Not the school teachers or the people that work at community centers, THE PARENTS are the first teachers.  With younger parents, they need to wake and realize that when you have a child, that child becomes your number one priority as well as having a job and setting a good example.  It’s not others responsibility to raise someone else’s kids because that could either be a blessing or a curse.  Follow me on Twitter @wlhoward_psa.  Until next time, stay cool.
