Tough Love vs. "Judgmental"

She is not in school, works at a grocery store, lives with mother, has no car, and her family has been on the brink of eviction several times.   Someone hops in and says, Girl you better save that money and let him buy his own X-box!   Girl, her mother, her sister blow up someone's phone all damn day talking about how judgmental this person is, telling her to mind her own damn business and let the girl live.   Just an example

She's an idiot.
Judgmental my ass. People love to play the "judgmental" card when you aint sugar coating things for them. I get called that every now and then. Truth must be told.

I don't mind tough love but who and how matters.

If I think my little sister is being dumb about her "bf" I just take her phone and other messaging devices and tell her she's being a thirsty trick and it ain't cute.

I was totally spazzing out yesterday she took all my ish and told me I'm gonna be a lonely with dry cooch.

We try to protect each other from basicness

Too many people want to tip-toe around topics.

I prefer that you give it to me straight....no chaser.

I'm gonna be salty at first but I will get over it. My friends and family have saved me from a lot of different scenarios.

And just because that person is determined to do it doesn't mean that their friends and loved ones need to watch idly or turn their heads.
