I was browsing through the blogs, and visiting some of the links, and I found an interesting post on the subject of people watching at Broadatbat<\/a>. Actually, she was writing about men watching women, and the fact that some women object to that activity on the part of their significant other.
\nMamma taught me…..”If you can’t look, you might as well be dead.” You all know I am a people watcher. As I waited for my sister to join me for lunch yesterday, I watched the people walking by. Wednesday at 11:00 in the morning is not a great place to watch people in a mall. There was a preponderance of women pushing two seat strollers, all in a hurry to get where they were going before the kids decided to have a meltdown.
\nI wanna just SMACK those mothers who snarl at their children in public. I understand being at your wit’s end and having a bad day, and then have the kids go ballistic. But if that’s the case, you shouldn’t be out at the mall. If you’re treating the kids badly in a public place, what might you be doing in private?? Give everybody the day off. Get a little rest and relaxation, and do the mall another day.
\nSo…okay….I got a little off topic. It’s been a hard day. When DH and I are out, if I see either something incrediblty odd or something really lovely, I’ll nudge him and try to direct his attention. He’s the only man I have ever met who is seemingly unaware of the people around him. I’m not pimping for him, just sharing what I’m seeing. I don’t mind him looking, although it seems a lot of women feel that is an insult.
\nMy thoughts on it run this way. If he<\/b> can’t look, then he may feel that I <\/b>can’t look. Since it’s unlikely he will ever get me to walk around in public with my eyes closed, why shouldn’t he look? I don’t understand the insult in watching, unless your spouse or boyfriend is constantly comparing you to what he sees, and you always come up wanting in the comparison. Now, that’s rude!
\nAnything beyond watching is out, though. I’m not good at sharing. I’ve learned that from Jamie. <\/a>An occasional kiss of welcome, or a kiss goodbye….maybe. But no touchy feely stuff. I mean….I’m reasonable on this subject. Look, but don’t touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
