(maybe they were different behind my back, who knows... but if they were, glad I didn't know about it, well I take that back.... I think there may have been one sister that had some not so nice things to say after I left) Maybe it is the city life making people unfriendlier! How could anyone not help a little old lady?!? I agree with the comment above.

It drives me crazy.

Thats right!
Did I tell you ...Keep on keeping on! Thats right! <br /><br />Did I tell you about the grandma at Sams Club who I taught how to use her rebozo better? She was using it tied behind her back, in a regular knot that couldnt be tughtend or adjusted. She also couldnt tie it herslef. I taught her the slip know, and how to adjut the top, middle and bottom rails so her frandaon would be comfy and secure. <br /><br />You dont need to speak the language to teach babywearing classes!I'm the Mamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261504328087608503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155457839792447584.post-39953892231873384322012-04-27T14:11:19.003-05:002012-04-27T14:11:19.003-05:00Whoopa, worded that wrong.

They dont live together.<br /><br />I do want to specify, that doesnt make their relationship any less valid. My "husband" and I arent married yet either, but he (and everyone) calls me his wife, while people here make sure to differentiate that the other "daughter in law" is still nly his "girlfriend" . Its weird here - once you live together or have kids, you can be called "married" , but dating for 8 years counts for nothing?

Its like we have three heads or something!<br /><br />Glad to hear the manners are better in small towns.I'm the Mamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261504328087608503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155457839792447584.post-7217972402213843792012-04-27T14:05:48.460-05:002012-04-27T14:05:48.460-05:00Oh yeah, people are (like in the States) sooo two ...Oh yeah, people are (like in the States) sooo two faced sometimes. I really worry what my inlaws REALLY think of me, because of what they say about their other daughter in law when she isnt around. And it isnt things like " did you see her hair the other day?" or " she could loose a few pounds" ... Its stuff worse (if you ask me ) like "she wont last long" or "she only wanta mijo for his money" or "she isnt worth anything" or "I hope my son never marries here". (they are not technically dating nor living together) . But to her face they are sweet as pie!

If being a babywearing lady spreading love wherever she goes makes you stick out then keep on keeping on.

Most people around us know eachother and are very polite except for the drivers who have no curtesy, but a bad part is the staring. It is like while they are driving by they will stare at you like they are trying to figure out who you are, until they are not able to see you anymore. It drive me crazy, sometimes I feel like asking them if they want to take a photo with them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01877484236937076790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3155457839792447584.post-10792286763446004902012-04-26T20:25:41.440-05:002012-04-26T20:25:41.440-05:00Mexico City sounds like Monterrey!!!

I can't stand the hypocrissy!! Miguel keeps telling me welcome to the real Mexico but, I have been here too many times to believe this happens every where. I think it is just in the cities. I ahve dealt with hipocrissy in the small towns but, not as bad.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094398763672345801noreply@blogger.com
