Baby Mamma dos and don't Hey ladies my advice is from personal experiences some good, some bad. I have learn these things while dealing with my children father, but also watching other fathers go thru the ringer. I say this not to get anyone hurt or feel obligated to do as I say but to help us all be better educated parents. Ladies here a myth I had to come to grip with if the father doesn't make time to be with you why should your energy be given to him. I have also found out that some fathers not all only pretend to spend time with you to get sex and barely look or talk to the child(ren) and this is not good for you or the child or children in the long run. My children are grown and sometime I still have to talk to their dad(s) just because my children don't want to be disrespectful to him( I taught them no matter how much some one disrespect you don't do it to them) I am here for that. Fathers are human and entitle to error not one parent is perfect far from it but it seem like some try more than others. Here are some things I say let happen it might work for you. Yes let him buy the child(ren) what ever they need no sense in burning your gas to go get it. Yes let him introduce your child(ren) to his other kids they are(half) brothers and sisters. Yes please please tell the child about him but only positive stuff. Let them find out his flaws as they get older don't want to seem like the bad guy or just bitter. Now here is the don't list: Don't let him visit his child(ren) if he is not to take care of his child(ren) or have the best interest of that child(ren). Don't send your child(ren) to him if he is abusive, violent, and overall a bad person or maybe a person who does bad things. Don't ever downplay a father who is trying to show that he wants to spend time with his child(ren). Don't try to use your child(ren) against a good father its a waste of time and energy. Don't ever let your child(ren) see you and the father argue over something that is a waste of energy or time.I never did this don't argue with the dad over him coming to get his child(ren) if he has a girlfriend unless you have learn she is not a good person or treat the child wrong. Never, never keep a child away from a dad who is 100 percent hands on because you two are not together. Ladies if your kid(s) dad want to spend time because he want your kid(s) to see him respecting you let him. This will show your son or daughter on how to treat the opposite sex in a relationship well a good one. Now if the intent is not good doing any of these things don't give him the energy or time because we are grown and we should act so. Don't want this to be a one sided story so gentlemen if this is going on in your world then you should try some of my advice as well. It should work on any parent least I hope it does because one day we all have to grow up and realize its not about the adults but the little people who look at us as mentor, heroes, and just good people. I love that my children love me when I am being mean(as the say) and when I am being loving because I am far from perfect but I not a doormat too. Ladies and Gentlemen this is not advice I am giving to you to see some drama in your life but to help life get a little easier and better between two adults who decide to have child(ren) and be grown to handle their responsibilities. Ladies the whole reason for choosing(or the choice was made for you) to becoming a parent is for your child(ren) to feel love and appreciation from both parents. Parenting is never a one side story but it can be a great experience if parents do or try a little harder on becoming great parents. So parents lets show our children the world is full of crazy people and things but at home it can get better and feel safe as well as love.

Overcoming the Inner Child
We all want to do better at raising our kids than our parents did. In adulthood, as I look back on my own home life, I reflect on how it wasn’t an all bad childhood, but at the same time, the good didn’t out-weigh the bad. And it's affected my outlook on life now that I'm no longer present in that small period of time and space. I've brought it with me into the ‘freedom of adulthood’ which I fantasized about as a child, and now it effects how I motivate on a day to day basis. Making that youthful fantasy become a drab reality.

Parent Guide:
Looking after a child is costly. Research has shown that the average cost of raising a child up to the age of 18, excluding the likes of housing and council tax, was £75,436 for a couple as of 2019. This rose to £102,627 for a single parent — and costs continue to rise. Therefore, it’s essential that you keep your products in as best condition as possible to get full use and life out of them.

Finding Hope
Hey everyone! I hope you are all doing well. This is my first story on here. Finding Hope It was just another cool summer day when the heat of what I had done came back to burn me. She said she needed to take time away to figure out what her plan was and that she would come back after three weeks. It has been about two months now since she left and the house we lived in has never been the same. The sound of silence plagues me like cancer that has ravaged the entire body.

Finding balance in lockdown
finding balance in lockdown Finding your balance in life in lockdown is extremely difficult however isn't impossible. I have several children and finding time to create balance between working/ writing, caring for my four beautiful children and keeping up with the house and also finding a way to take time out so I don't burn out has been very difficult. At least for a lot of people here in Western Australia, school is back in full swing, and for myself it means three out of four of my children are actually back in school, which makes finding the balance so much easier. However there was a time they were all home for five or so weeks. Balance went out the window. In fact in that time, I had no balance and I was extremely drained physically and emotionally. And this is the case, especially for parents but is also the case for everyone whom is still in lock down and has been for months now and who will continue to be for weeks and possibly for months to come.

The reason I chose this photo is because it reminds me of the lost Indigenous women, one where she is on a dark path, on the dark path it is cold and there may not be light at her end. Until she meets someone who can help her, the one who tells her to look into the horizon of the sunset, because there is someone standing there, willing to lead her to her natural path. On a natural innate path that will show her that there is a meaningful purpose to life to bring her back to her belief in her own traditions, her mother tongue, once on the path, she just cannot walk away. Before they told her the natural values of Life she had to pay it forward with no money involved, what she had to do is help others and they would have to do the same to continue to help others find their paths, next thing you know it blossoms to be the generous cycle of a naturing Indigenous woman. Then it turns to the next generation. As it's going from generations to generations of so many stories of how people can help other people who have or still on the dark path and need help. Even if they don't want help, there are other ways to help them,by helping them don't just give up on what they need, and what I mean when I say that is don't give them money or anything that involves their past addictive toxic behaviors.. Once you let them get away with enabling them, they are going to go back on the dark path and the further they go, the longer it will take for them to heal and the longer it takes, and the harder it is.
