I do agree with you, but in a different way. My husband was/is totally supportive, because he says I can sell anything to anyone (and I really can), but all his support did in the end was help me to hang myself by staying in MK longer than I needed/wanted to. I knew I didn't want to do it, and when I would ask for his opinion, he would say "Do whatever you want baby, I believe in you" so I would stick with it. But he was equally supportive when I said that I didn't want to do it any more, and more so when I showed him my love check!!!!!! 

I see your point.  Mine would tell me that he didn't really think I was aggressive enough to sell MK but if I TRULY felt I could then he would stand behind me.  He wasn't negative or pushy or antagonizing as some family members can be.  He gave me his opinion whenever I asked for it but told me I had to make the decision...that way I couldn't hold it against HIM if quit/failed.

My hubby was with me 150% He even believed all the lies with me and then once I became a Director he started to realize some things, but I wouldn't listen and he still was supportive, but I could tell he was getting tired of being home alone!!  Boo Boo Boo

Hey Sassy!

Thanks! I am very excited! I've been having mild contractions, so if you ladies see i am not here for a couple of days I might be in labor

I hope your friend has a great labor.. I think having a baby this time of the year is so special...

 Love Love

 globemnI understand completely what you're saying.  When I told a certain relative that I started selling Mary Kay, there was a silence on the line.  Then she said that she'd rather see me doing anything legal instead of Mary Kay.  She said that directors never work and make their underlings work and they are the only ones to reap the benefits.  At the time it hurt my feelings but she is so right now.  And my family would always say, "well are you still selling that Mary Kay," in a condescending tone.  I am tired to trying to justify this to them because you know what, I can't tell them that I am making money at it.  I feel embarrased that I ever fell for this.  And if I leave a message for a friend telling them to call me, they take forever to call me.  If I leave a message that I want their advice on car seats or something totally unrelated to Mary Kay, they will return my phone call asap.  And others I know are avoiding me like the plague.  I am tired of being in church and my mind wanders to "who can I unload some makeup on."  I am supposed to be there to worship and my mind wanders off to Mary Kay.  I want to go to events are socialize without people thinking that they are going to be hit up to buy Mary Kay.   

I did the whole family & friends thing. It cost me a few friends (oh was I dumb)  the more everyone warned me, the harder I pushed.... Now, I just smile when I encounter them and take the chuckles.
