Most people don't mean it when they say they don't care what other people think. 9 times out of 10 I mean it. Sure I don't want people to think I'm a mass murder, bad human etc but aside from that I truly don't care.
If you don't like my political views, such is life. I'm a Republican, right wing conservative with mildly moderate leanings. I believe in the Constitution, the right to bear arms, God and being a patriot. If you don't like that well that's just too damn bad. I also strongly believe my most important job always will be raising my children. I don't believe in crying it out, I do believe in co-sleeping, breast feeding is best. Formula Feeding is not as good and wearing your baby is more natural than sticking them in a playpen for hours at a time. Natural childbirth is normal not something to be scared of a C-section is something to be Terrified of and if you aren't intelligent enough to research your birth choices more than your car, or home buying choices than you have no business having a child. Babywise is an evil book and every copy I see will be purchased and destroyed.
I'm an opinionated thing. I've been told by a very wonderful friend on more than one occasion that I lack a filter and I'm as subtle as a sledge hammer. Frankly I'm fine with that. Because one thing is for sure with me what you see is what you get. I'm consistent. I don't change who I am from one person to the next. I don't change my political views based on what crowd I'm with, or my religious views based on what church I'm standing in.
I home school my children because I don't like the gang influences, the sexual influences and the total lack of true responsibility taught to our children. Not to mention the sad state of our public schools these days but that is a rant for another time. I get judged for home schooling and yet my children are very well adjusted, highly social, very intelligent and empathetic towards others. The same cannot be said for many others of their ages.
I've been told I sound like a snob but it's less about being a snob and more about stating facts. I speak the truth as I see it.
I'm opinionated yes, does that mean I'm always right.....no. Does that mean I'm always wrong.....no. But life isn't about being right or wrong. It's about living life on your terms, your way, in a manner you can live with. Because at the end of the day you want to be able to look in the mirror and recognize who you're looking at opinions and all.
