Here's the question: At what point IS it OK for us to call people on their rude, inconsiderate, or inappropriate behavior? Recently, Faith Hill did this to a woman who apparantly grabbed Tim McGraw, her husband's, groin onstage, and to my astonishment, Faith Hill has been the one CRITICIZED for saying something to the woman about it. Folks, we got some major issues.This got me to thinking about when, or IF, we are able to call people anymore on their rude or inappropriate behavior. We parents drill into our children's heads that NO one and we mean NO ONE is to get near their private parts, and that if someone does, they are to lets a trusted adult know immediately and that whoever has done this to them will face serious consequences, yet there are those who actually think Faith Hill went too far in diplomatically, yet clearly telling this crazed fan she needed a lesson in manners and to essentially "lay off!" This is insanity. I don't care who you are, where you are, or under what circumstances, no one is allowed to touch your "private parts" without your consent, much less grab them, and as far as I'm concerned, Faith and Tim had every right to escort this pig of a fan out of the concert that INSTANT for her behavior.

This situation with Faith Hill just got my wheels turning and I realized how timid we've become when it comes to calling people on their rude or inconsiderate behavior towards us or others, whether it be a rude clerk, a parent whose children are wildly out of control in public, someone dropping by without calling, oh, the list just goes on. I am ashamed to say that I am on the "guitly list" for letting people walk all over me before I would say anything to them about their rude treatment of me or my family. This is a trait I'm trying to work on and trying even harder to teach my kids at a young age NOT TO ACQUIRE in the first place.

So, the question I am posing here is what recent experiences have YOU had where you wished you had opened your mouth and said something, but didn't because of some strange fear or guilt embedded deep within your soul that said "It's OK...just keep the peace."? And looking back on the situation now, how would you have handled things differently, and most importantly, what do you wish you had said?

I anxiously await the responses to this question. Be brave...now is your chance. And believe me...we're ALL in the same boat, so don't be embrarrassed. We just need a little help from one another to get our courage up for the "next time."

Go, Faith!
