Do not keep partaking in other peoples bad behavior. Gossip, hate, envy, adultery, and more. If an issue does not concern you directly, do not cosign and encourage a bigger problem out of it. By not being honest with your peers about their disturbing behavior you are indirectly a part of it. If you find your peers behavior disturbing, stop pretending and talk to them. I have noticed that a lot of us grown women and mamipikins are great at adopting bad behavior or issues that we have no business being a part of, but refuse to partake in anything that uplifts the next woman who needs our love and support. We are so dishonest with each other on matters that should be addressed with love and honesty.
Your children watch you more than they listen. Do not take your behavior around your children for granted. You want to raise leaders, who are influenced by your positive behavior. You want to raise children that have great self confidence that comes from watching their mothers. Be a woman who doesn't faint at every temptation, a woman who can stand their own ground. A woman who does not need to "belong" by partaking in bad behavior for acceptance.
Be the voice of reason.
Let nomamipikin be left behind!
Kisses,
