My night with DRUNK people

Last night I went to a cookout at a friends house. People were
drinking, eating and having a good time. I was in the garage that's
where all the food was....lol. All of a sudden 2 young boys about
9 and 11 years old came running through the garage with clothespins
on the outside of their shirts in the area where their nipples are.
The were screaming "I am a woman, and I feel no pain" as they were
running through. I got off my chair to look out the door to see where
there were headed and they were running through the yard still yelling this.
I was mortified! I couldn't believe it. A couple of men that were sitting
next to me said "Ahhhh those are Hans kids he teaches them stuff
like that all the time!" I was in shock. Right at that moment Hans (whom
I never met before) came in to garage. I told him what I thought of
this and told him I felt insulted as a woman and disgusted. All he did
was laugh. That was it I told the hostess I had to leave, she understood.
I was the only one that got that bent out of shape over the whole thing.
Others were just laughing or shaking their heads....
Sad that these boys are growing up with a pig for a father.....

Wow....that sucks. But I'm proud of you for speaking your mind and standing up for yourself. Sorry your night didn't go better.

On my way home I was questioning myself..."Patty did you go overboard,
was it funny, or was it out and out humiliation directed toward women?
It is strange that about 25 other people just stood by and said nothing.
Thanks Jess, once apon a time I would have tried to ignore it and say
nothing.

Hey Patty - that sounds like TONS OF FUN - LOL. I'm finding I exit those types of events quickly now, too.

Ok - what did you do this morning? Happy Sunday, Patty.

I slept on and off until Noon, then I have the privilage of
taking my oldest son to the mall to finish school shopping.
On the way home we stopped at Blockbuster so he could
rent a game and I went to the grocery store to spend
yet more money......
A little different than last Sunday....
Happy Sunday to you too Denny!

My favorite part about your post - you chose to leave. You chose to remove yourself from an environment and people that you disagreed with.
To me, that's big. As I think that often times, I know that I stayed in a situation that left me angry, uncomfortable, etc. just as you said that you've said that you've done in the past. Where we just sat quietly and did nothing.
You made a choice - and it was the right choice.
Sadly, there will always be bad parents, pathetic people, and children being brought up in this manner. Not much we can do about it though, as much as it sucks.

You did good Patty.

I understand. For me it's not a judgment against others, sick or well. It's doing what is right for me. Focus off them, focus on me. What's great is I have a choice - to leave. I always had that choice, just didn't realize it.

Please forgive me for what I am about to say.

I can see myself putting a clothespin on my pants and dancing around saying...help I can't keep it in my pants!

Guess we belong on redneck comedy station!

How old are you Live? You have the right to do what you choose. These are little boys being taught this kind of stuff by their father, they, at this
point have no choice.

I understand your point.

In some strange way, when I have done these kinds of things it has happened at times that it brought about some awareness of the situation.
And then they were actually embarrassed.

Because I usually conduct myself in a sane manner, so it shocks them.

Whereas if I try to get into a serious discussion addressing the manner...no one hears me.

It all depends upon my mood....most often like you, I would simply leave.

There are many, many things about the way kids are raised that I do not understand or agree with. But unless it is something I can call social services on, there is nothing I can do.

some of us may have not been so bothered by this incident,but agree or not,bothered or not--this is the bottom line.
i am seeing such a difference in myself the last few months with this type of thing,and i am loving it!!! and me....so much more.

Could I clarify something....I wouldn't have liked to see kids doing this.

I just sometimes have an unconventional approach/response to things.

That's the weirdest thing. I don't even understand what that is supposed to mean. In any event, if one of my boy's did this, I can't even express how embarrassed I'd be. Second, for them to run around a bunch of adults showing off their humor just shows they've been taught no boundaries. I'd like to think my boys would not do something like this....but I do know if they did, it wouldn't be around adults.

Good for you Patty. I can't believe you said something to the father and he just laughed it off.

Sunshine your boys wouldn't do this because you are their mother.
The mother of these boys is the submissive type, hence the clothespin
on the nipples thing ( a submissive thing)
It is really scarey to think these boys are being raised by these people.
