I have several other blogs and I am trying to be as point
specific in each blog as to the subject matter … this one being (single
parenthood and being a grandparent) …
I am instant messaged on Facebook, from single moms
and at times grandparents whose grown children have abandoned them … these
grown children usually are “well off” so it is double disturbing to me … it is
the following
I hear some family
members and people go on and on about the inequities in the world (which is
true) and on how people just do not care … they rattle on and on about
immigration and the woes of those people (again a fair statement), how they
hate this president … yet these same
“complainers of society” blow off their own family members, when they are in
need, when they are poor and when they are homeless … so my advice to any poor
grandparent in need in the USA (and I know there are many … those who go
without food or shelter and proper health care) … try to get a bus ticket to the border, let a
cable news show film you there and maybe your family will care … Before you complain about the poor in faraway
places look to see them in your own family or your own backyard or stop the
bullshit … there is enough of that in the world …
