Emily's Mind Dump Madness

Respect

I sometimes wonder what happened to respect. I’m a big believer in giving respect to get respect. But I also believe that you give respect until given a reason not to.

I tend to be a floor mat. I let people walk all over me. I hate confrontation and will do basically anything to avoid it. Which usually includes letting things go that I probably shouldn’t.
I’m really trying to work on that.

Today, a friend posted something on social media that should have been said to me in person (or at least through a text). It wasn’t a huge thing, but it does involve my day-to-day life, so it would have been nice to hear it from her and not on social media.

I wasn’t really mad. I was, however, really hurt. And I felt very disrespected. We have been friends for going on 15 years. We have worked together.

I know I am being super vague, but I don’t really feel like this is the place to call her out, any more than I already have.

Treating people with kindness and respect is really pretty easy.
How would you respond to someone close to you treating you with disrespect?

Welcome to Emily’s Mind Dump Madness, the heartwarming space where family, love, and a touch of chaos come together. I’m a wife and devoted mother of three (and a few bonus kiddos). As a household manager, theater/dance mom, and overall jill of all trades, I navigate the beautiful chaos of raising a family with a sense of humor and a whole lot of heart. With three amazing children who are growing up with big hearts and kindness for all, my journey is filled with love, laughter, and a few theater shows along the way. Originally a mountain girl, I now find myself navigating the bustling streets of the big city. The juxtaposition of the serene mountains and the urban hustle creates a unique backdrop for our family adventures. In the midst of the hustle, you’ll find me always on the go, ensuring the well-being of those around me, and working to build a business or two. Whether it’s coordinating family schedules, cheering on my theater kids, or simply being there for a friend, I believe in the power of kindness and the importance of creating a supportive community.
