DON’T FUCKING LABEL MY SON

‼️I said EXACTLY THIS on Thursday, 11/26/20 (Thanksgiving).‼️

That shut them up real quick. Don’t fucking label my son.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong if my child does not want to talk to you. I’m HAPPY and PROUD that my son is hesitant to talk to “strangers”— that means he’s less likely to follow them inside a white van.

Seriously. Fucking stop it.

‼️ I think being selective in who u talk to is fucking high-vibe.

Seriously. Why talk to people when u don’t want to?

Donnie is social for sure, but when he doesn’t want to talk at the moment with XYZ person/people, that doesn’t mean he’s SHY. It means he doesn’t want to talk to you.

‼️ Don’t put your insecurities— YOUR BULLSHIT— and fear of rejection on MY SON— he’s a CHILD!! If you say hi to a child and they do not want to talk to you, here’s what you can say: “Ok, I see that you don’t feel like talking right now— that’s ok! Maybe we can chat another time! Have fun playing!”

It’s a pet peeve of mine— I’m OVER labels.

The more confident I get as a parent, the easier it is to tell people to fuck off .....in a “nice way”, of course.

‼️ As my son’s pediatrician said awhile back, “As his mom, you are Donnie’s biggest advocate.”

Yes. Yes I am!! I will walk thru burning 🔥 fires for my son— absofuckinglutely.
