The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.

It was Father's Day, and our little backyard had transformed into a haven of sizzling feasts and cherished memories.

The Importance of Teaching Financial Literacy to Children
In today's fast-paced world, financial literacy is an essential life skill that everyone needs to master. As a mother, wife, author of children's picture books, and a retirement plan consultant, I've seen firsthand the impact that understanding finances can have on a family's well-being.

Beyond the Tie
Father's Day loomed, casting a familiar shadow of gift-giving anxiety. Every year, the quest for the perfect present for my Dad, the quintessential "Weekend Warrior," felt like scaling Mount Everest in flip-flops. Ties? He had a closet full of them. Tools? His garage resembled a hardware store. Gift certificates? Impersonal and forgettable.

Toxic Masculinity: Man Bashes Single Mothers & Children
Friday, 14 June 2024 By: TB Obwoge In the United States of America there are millions of households lead by single women. However this was the oddest post I've seen in a while, a grown man called a child lost, a 12-year old child. I often wonder what the Hell is wrong with some people. This clearly is a lost man because he said a whinning 12-year old male child was lost, such a sad human.

Ms. Inexpressible
I realized that my whole life I received love based on my achievements and how much I behaved like a good girl. Only my mother had been like this to me not my father. My father had helped me get through my academic pressure even though it was just by providing me a cup of tea to my study table. My mother has also helped me get through that phase but only when I’d listen to her like a good girl and do her work. She had never tried to understand me but had always expected to me to understand her. It came to a point that I can no longer express any of my emotions nor I can say what’s really inside my heart. Whenever I had given a silent treatment to her, she had always started shouting at me for being a rude arrogant brat. And at the end I end up crying in the bathroom or on the bed at night. Or I sometimes write them down. What am I supposed to do? To whom I open up my heart? Neither do I have a friend. She has had never objected like this to any other of her child…. then why only me? She had always allowed them to let out their emotions whether her child is shouting at her or giving her a silent treatment. Then why only me? I don’t want to be a good girl. I realized that it was my fault from the starting for not being able to express myself thinking that I had hurt other feelings. I have always kept the things to myself that hurted me because I was afraid of ruining someone’s day or making them feel bad about my feelings. And now I cannot express myself to anyone. I feel tired of explaining my feeling to anyone, that I prefer to stay silent and keep those feelings between the pages of my journal. I wondered would you listen to me if I tried to explain you about my problems? Even if out of empathy, would you listen to me once? Would you change yourself for me out of empathy? I wondered.
