Until you have walked a mile in my shoes; I think it wise, to keep your comments to yourself.

Walk a Mile In My Shoes
The road I travel is not very easy, but giving up is not an option!

            Everyone has their own opinions; but unless they walk a mile in my shoes they have nothing to say. This is a very powerful statement, but take heed; you can have your opinion, you can make all the comments you will like; but until spend a day, doing everything I do it is wise to keep you comments to yourself.

            Come to my house, and yes it is a mess; but the laundry is done and every flat surface you can see is clean; so please heed the comments I was unable to tackle is all.

The grass is not mowed, the flowerbed is over grown with weeds and the yard is a mess; but until you spent the day, living as I have. Please keep your comments to yourself.

            These words come from anger, since so many people have a comment or 2, about how we should keep our house, how to raise our children, or better yet they sit and give us their opinion, and their “how too’s”

            Again I say, unless you rise with the sun, and lay your head down after an eighteen-hour day, please keep your comments under lock and key.

            Walk a mile in my shoes and you will see I work hard to make the world a better place for you, my family, friends and me.

    Yes, it’s annoying when people like to give unwelcome advice. I experienced that when I was having a rough first trimester (1st child) and some single people kept on coming and tell me what to do or what not to do. As if they’ve been there themselves.

    Bless you, sister. I get so mad because people think I have all the time in the world as I don’t work full-time. Well I still work about 30 hours a week, plus all my other jobs. I agree don’t put someone down until you have seen into their lives. What is behind closed doors is not always so grand.
