My view on something....

I really had to write this down because I know husband is getting sick of hearing it whenever this comes on the tv. HANNAH MONTANA CONCERT TICKETS!

Ok, now keep in mind, I do have a young daughter who loves her and I would love nothing more than to get her some awesome tickets for her birthday, but when they started climbing well over 200 a ticket, that idea quickly left. My cousin was able to snag some for under 100, and for that I congratulate her! That in itself was a near impossible feat! They're upper seats, but by God, under the century mark, so this is not for her.

I see these women, mothers, on the tv, griping and whining about how the scalpers "stole" all of the tickets before they had a chance to buy them and are driving up the price, but then turning right around and shelling out their money to buy them! Now if the scalpers didn't think idiot people like you would pay that incredibly disgusting price for concert tickets...FOR YOUR CHILDREN!!! More than likely they wouldn't have even given Hannah Montana tickets a second thought! The fact that you people will pay that kind of money is ludicrous and speaks volumes of the values we are instilling in out children today.

My thing is, it seems the parents today have lost something that out parents had. It's a very simple thing really...and I don't think it will kill us or our children if they should ever come in contact with it. I really think it will help these parents deal with how much these tickets were going for and I'll share with you what it is. You sit your child(ren) down, look them in the eye and say, "We can't afford it." Give them a hug and walk away.

If you are a semi wealthy person, and you want to take a little of your cash and take your little wonders to see this show, than by all means....doll your little sweeties up and go have fun. But these people who are scrapping, SCRAPPING to get these valuable little pieces of paper are the most insane people walking. Are you that afraid of little Susie getting a little disappointed that they won't get to go that you are willing to rake together any cash you can to unload hundreds, and thousands of dollars for nose bleed seats! Are you so unnerved that your darlings might get their little hearts broken because you said no! Well, if you really want to know what is wrong with these wreaks we call kids these days, take a good look. It's because somewhere along the line we stopped saying no to our children. We will make ourselves broke to make them happy. Well I say this to every kid around including my own....TOUGH! Get over it...life, as you will soon find out is full of disappointments far greater than this. If you want something badly enough, you have to work for it. Our children are being brought up in a society that caters to them...they have the finest clothes, the newest phones, and the highest priced cars. Hell, these little folks are having sweet 16's that rival large weddings, and for what! What are we teaching them?

My kids have quite a bit...they have everything they need and a few things they want. They have modest parties and Christmas's, but only because if they get EVERYTHING they want, what's to look forward to? What's to dream about? The do hear the words no and quited often, I'm sorry, we can't afford it. I'm not ashamed, and I'm not afraid what if one of the other parents hear. I'll yell it from the roof tops! We are a one income family with a career choice that let's face it doesn't make millionaires. But what I do hope to give my children, free of charge, that no, you won't get everything you want, and yes you will have disappointments...but I assure you my loves, you will survive!

Whew! All this because I'm overloaded with "OMG! I'M GOING TO HAVE TO PAY 1000.00 FOR MY KIDS TO GO TO HANNAH MONTANA!!! Come on people...I think there are more news worthy stories out there other than total and complete idiots!!

Muah!
