Ok, so yes I am a guy. My girl wanted me to read a posts on here because she thought I needed to read other womens thoughts. Nevertheless, I was going thru and seen this and read it and it is quite interesting. I thought every1 gave choco some good advise...seems like she had already tried and came here as a last resort. Now we only have what she is saying to go off of, but I didn't get where DRAGONFLY & POINTBLANK got that she was unattentive and cruel and whatever else they called her. But in my opinion I wish more moms would stress the importance of being clean from top to bottom to our young women growing up today. I commend choco for trying to instill the value of being clean and not chalking this up to it being a faze.
I use to be a teacher and could no longer do it mainly after a student of mine committed suicide because she was constantly belittled and berated. She was called everything from nasty cow, funky a**, and unfortunately I hate to say she did smell...it was a feat for me to hold my breath when I came near her. But I endured....she was a sweet girl and I don't know what her circumstances were, but she stated in her suicide letter she was tired of being talked about...which is something this mom (choco) seeems to be trying to prevent with her daughter. As a former teacher I know kids can be cruel, I've heard ALOT of things. As a man I've been with women that probably should have paid attention to the part of being fresh and clean.
All I am saying is cut her some slack. If you want your daughters to stink and send them to school because all the other kids stink, then I would call YOU the unattentive and cruel parent for sending your child out there to be picked on.
My daughter is only four but her mom is on her about being a lady and I hope she continues because I don't want my daughter to be called the stinky girl in school. Better mom and dad tell her than the kids at school because it WON'T be nice.
