Give Me That Look.

Does anybody else get embarrassed when your parents or grandparents get out the old pictures of when you were a child to show your family or in my case my boy friend? Well I do.

I remember the first time my boyfriend came over to my grandparents to eat dinner with them and me. Right after dinner the first thing they did was started showing him the old baby photo's and home made dvd's of when I was little.

That has to be the one of the most embarrassing things that I have ever had to go through. Me sitting with my face as red as Rodolph's nose,watch my boy looking at these photo's and laughing at them. There is nothing more embarrassing to a child when your boyfriend or girl friend comes over and your parents or who ever show them your baby photo's and dvd's and even worse,your naked baby photo's .

I wasn't the worst looking child growing up..... Actually growing up I was very cute and adorable if I do say so my self. I just didn't like having my picture taken at all and I still don't. I should be use to it by now just because I get my picture taken all the time with friends and family but I still hate when I have to have them done.

Our Parents don't do this to hurt us or embarrass us,Well defiantly not hurt us. I just think that they like to do this so that our other half can see what we were like growing up. It's kind of mean I think to do this and for me so embarrassing but I got to think of it this way,at least it's not the naked baby photos.Those are so much more embarrassing. We all have those photo's that we just hate of our self's. I don't like my photos but at least we have them. It's memories that last a life time and that keep growing.

Growing Up Too Fast.

You know how when you are little and your parents are suppose to take care of you, and then as they get a bit older you take care of them, well when I was little it was not like that. When I was little I had to really learn how to take care of myself and I grew up kinda fast because of that. I have told you all in so many post that I have never really though of my parents as my parents, I have always though of my grandparents as my parents.

I think that the reason that I think of my grandparents like my parents is because they helped raised me. Me and my parents never really got along, that is why I have had to grow up fast. I have always felt like I have had the weight of the world on my shoulders. I am the one who if someone is sick I take care of them, or drive them to there special places that the need to go,ect. For some reason I didn't mind having to grow up fast. I had help from my grandparents, They tough me how to do a lot of things. Things that I know I could not have learned from myself, things like walking and how to cook and how to talk and,even helping me with my schooling.

Like I have also said in my other post, I did have a good childhood, but I just wish that I would not have had to grow up so fast, If it would not have been for my grandparents I would have never made it this far. Even now that I am away for school they are helping me everyday. They give me words of wisdom and advice when I need it. I love them so much for that. I don't know if there will every be a way I can repay them for all they have done, but if there was a way, I would do it in a second. I guess that I have never really realized how luck I am, until now.I don't know how many people out there has had to grow up fast but,I know I have and with the support of my grandparents I did it and still doing it.Take this advice and stay close to the people who are nearest and dearest to you because family is what really counts right?
