parents

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

The Infamous Nap
The grown up woman sat at her birth mother's dining room table with her birth mother and her mother's neighbor. She had not come here to see her mother. She came to see her little brother and her step father. Seeing her mother was the price she paid to see them. They were out in the back yard playing with her two small children and her husband was loading up the van so they could head for home.

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LIVE WITH A HUSBAND AND TWO CHILDREN WITH ADHD
I am an occupational therapist of 25 years who specialized in brain injury and cognitive retraining for ten years. You would think it would have been easier for me to work with my family of triple ADHD than perhaps individuals who need to learn from scratch. I am here to tell you, HELL NO!

My Mom’s memorial service—not what you’d expect to be one of the funniest times of our lives, but whenever we think of it, we laugh and high-five each other. And that’s just the way she would have wanted it.

Having a Family Law Attorney on Your Side is a Sensible Move.
Several individuals try to manage family law matters on their own, only to find themselves in a losing scenario or a worse position than if they had first sought legal counsel. Without the advice of an experienced family law attorney, you may end up with unfavorable child custody arrangements or other long-term ramifications that may harm your and your children's lives in the future.

Some advice for parents
No more blaming and criticizing your child, but you can act as your child's third eye, guiding your child to see for himself or herself what he or she is doing, to judge for himself or herself what is right or wrong, and to decide for himself or herself whether his or her behavior can continue.

For You, Money Grew on Trees and Time Stood Still
October 17, 2002; I had no idea that the birth of one life could drastically suck the soul out of another. Six-year-old me was overly excited for you to come. I had spent months watching our family prep for your arrival. We had a baby shower, tons of family members over all the time, and lots of shopping... all for you. Now that I think about it, I felt like I was beginning to lose them before you had even arrived. Your mom stopped playing with me. She was sick all of the time. Your dad's focus was all on your mom. Grandma's attention went towards helping your mom and since grandpa didn't have a mind of his own, his focus was wherever grandma's was.

Split In Half
My biological father had this darkness about him that I can’t explain. It was perfect because it allowed everyone to love him and hide the darkness they couldn’t see. I thought I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from my biological father. When there is rage in your bloodline, sometimes all you feel is anger. I think that some men just shouldn't be fathers. It’s hard to fully understand how much of a bad person he was. I thought I was destined to be like him and my biological mom for a while. I thought that it was written in my DNA.

The Truth About Taking A Disabled Child Places
While scrolling through social media lately (my favorite site being Instagram), I've been noticing more and more pages made featuring disabled children out in public places enjoying the same things that other children do. These images and videos of happy children (and I do believe that the children are legitimately happy) may lead one to believe that if you have a disabled child, you can just load them up in your vehicle and easily take them places.

Outside In
As a recent graduate in the class of 2022 at the local high school, Peter had managed to finesse a job at the airport as a baggage handler. It was his job to help confused travelers to their gates, direct tired tourists to their ride, or hunt down stray suitcases for the passengers. He had been extremely proud to have grasped this opportunity- while his classmates were busy partying or roaming the streets for a good time, he was prioritizing his future by saving up money for college.

Chinese New Year
I left my hometown and lived in a small city for more than twenty years. Although is not far from home, but as a long work in a line of railway passenger transport worker, every Chinese New Year, at the time of national celebration, a gathering, is precisely what we work pressure, the biggest business's busiest "Spring Festival", so many years, the real chance to celebrate the Spring Festival reunion with parents are numbered, I always catch or holiday home in years ago, in a hurry.
