FEATHERING OUR NESTS: O-MAMA’s Perspective on SPRING CLEANING

Spring is in the air.  The birds and the bees are flitting around doing their thing…nature abounds.  The birds are feathering their nests and laying their eggs, while the bees are busy pollinating every flower in the garden.  The air is crisp and clean.  Chirping and buzzing fills the air.

Everything seems fresh and new.  So, let’s take a new look at Spring, shall we? The first thing that comes to mind is cleaning. Ugggh.  But, let's talk about the birds and the bees instead...the part of the story that happens...

OWEN AN APOLOGY: Duke Student’s Sexy PowerPoint
Photo Thestir

Karen F. Owen, who is a 2010 Duke University graduate, created a sophisticated PowerPoint presentation documenting and rating her sexual experiences, complete with graphs and charts.  The subject of the presentation is “An education beyond the classroom: excelling in the realm of horizontal academics.”  Each man in the report was a student-athlete at Duke and is graded according to criteria like attractiveness, size and athletic ability. Owen sent the presentation to a couple of friends and it eventually went “viral.”  She now says that she didn’t mean to hurt anyone with the presentation, and did not intend to spread it over the net. 

MOMism: ”Don’t kiss and tell.”  Really girls, do we need to go over this again?  Don't be THAT kind of girl...be the kind of girls boys want to bring home to meet their MAMAs...not the kind of girl that does a powerpoint on her sexual escapades.  Karen's MAMA must be beside herself!

Boys used to be the ones that kissed and told.  Now, sex is fodder for the entire web set?  What?! There is a problem today in that our kids want every aspect of their lives documented and shared online. Why is that?  It is like everyone is trying to expand their 15 minutes of fame into lifelong snippets on YouTube.  Reality TV gone mad?  Dreams of instant fame and fortune?  What is missing from our kids lives that they want everything to be public info?  Are they so desperate for attention, that they look to strangers to get noticed?  MAMAs - what is really going on?

    Bottom line, sluts reap what they sow. You do it, you own it, and I hope this presentation comes up at every job interview.

    This is a 2-part problem. First, kids are anxious to put it all out there. Second, too many people have "rubber-neck" syndrome & feel compelled to view the thrills & chills that other's post. Both work together to form a youth culture w/very loose boundaries.
