parents

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

Adventures In Parenting
Single Parenting How did I get there? Well, at a young age, not to toot my own horn, I was pretty lucky when it came to the ladies. Sometimes too lucky. Then, my childhood sweetheart took an interest. We'd grown up living across the street from each other for 8 years. Suddenly, after a couple of failed attempts, she started hitting on me! I put it that way because it came as quite a shock.

A moment in time
Get the fuck out! You’re a stupid young slut! Those might have well been the words she said to me. I can’t remember what else was said. Just how I felt afterwards. I felt lost. Confused. Torn and hurt. How could my mother tell me these things.

The Irony of Life
My dad was a strict man. He use to tell people that with 5 daughters he had to be. He had years of medical school and residency and finally a job offer that would leave him with more free time, or so I thought. My sisters and I would do our best to be quiet when we heard him either come home from work, doing the bills, from an exercise run, basically anytime we knew he may be tired or stressed.

To my parents with school aged children: How YOU doin?! No, seriously...
So here we are, in the later days of 2021 and COVID-19 is still ruining our lives. To those of you thinking I’m being dramatic, must be nice being childless. I mean, I assume you ARE childless because every parent I know has been negatively affected by this pandemic UNLESS they are wealthy. Childless Americans are screaming, "Parents have it easy! They get stimulus checks and more money on their taxes!”, “Why do they pay you for being a parent? I get nothing for being a single adult with no children.” Or my personal favorite, “Your children are your responsibility. It’s not the governments’ fault you can’t take care of them!”

Path of Life
My home was born in the Soviet winter of 1932. Flat-footed, warm-hearted, thin, but wielded more strength than anyone I’ve ever met.

Finding Out You're Adopted With eBay
Nor did I ever expect to be writing about being adopted - I guess no one's ever prepared for that situation. I always knew that my dad wasn't my real dad because I was told he wasn't from a young age, but he had always considered me as his own. Now, I never really questioned my mum not being my biological mother. I mean we look-alike, and people would say so too. The only difference was our characters, but I never really took it as a sign that she wasn't my mother.

Dear Diary, The first day of school is here. K has been desperately waiting for this day; waiting to get her uniform back on, and waiting to see her friends.

Positive Form of Guidance
Conduct issues are unavoidable in kids that are at the developmental phase of their turn of events. Resolving these issues and giving understudies the model of conduct that is considered OK, in this manner, ought to be looked for as a significant educational objective. By consolidating a few methodologies pointed toward inspiring students, engaging in their feelings, and building the discourse with their families, a teacher will help the ideal interest group informing their practices toward more scholarly ones.

Again, again. I call her again.
Again, again, she calls me again… A girl who idols me, one who is just a friend. But our past is long and etched in pen.

I'm Not F*King Kidding you.
Then there is mom..and I use the term loosely. A drug addict, emotionally abusive social worker who took her child to hang out with drug dealers and strippers while she was working for the military and having sex with her coworkers. Mom has so much trauma it is amazing I was born. One of 9 kids, born to different fathers (Mom, Ronnie, and Terry had one dad, Kenny (who committed suicide or so I was told years ago), Cheryl and her brother I don't even know his name because they lived with their father I think in Vegas, Linda whose father my grandmother never married because he was married, and there is another two in there somewhere but my mother wasn't close to her family left home at 17 after running away and begging CPS to put her in foster care because my grandmother and had so many men coming in and out of the house and was married to times, working as a bartender and cleaning a motel. She was never a part of my life, nor were the aunts, uncles, and cousins for the most part. Only one went to college besides my mother, my aunt Linda is a teacher and the last I knew was married to Gene since she was 15 or 16.

I'm not kidding! This F*ing happened. A Public Service announcement about Chatham County, Ga.
I have always been the belle of the ball. From across the country but still southern by blood. Grandpa was ex-Navy and raised me like I was in the South. Grandpa made sure I went to college, knew how to ride a horse, change a car tire and shoot a gun. He made sure I knew how men should treat a woman even if his son beat two wives, his daughter, and a dog. Grandpa had no problem telling his son, that he would shoot him if he ever hurt his granddaughter. Grandpa always taught me to mind my manners, but never had a problem with me speaking my mind, he knew it was useless to tell me to be quiet, and it amused him that his only granddaughter turned out to be so sassy despite being well mannered. He always looked at me like I was the daughter he never had, and the child he should have given what a disaster his son turned out to be.

3 Things Parents Can Do Help Kids Achieve More - Swiflearn
Every parent would dream that their kid rise and shine and even achieve more than what they did and recently we have seen parents trying real hard to do so and since lockdown when parents have much more time to involve with their kids they try to utilize every minute of it by spending time with them or helping them in their online classes or playing games with them in their free time. This is one of those lifetime opportunities that may never occur again as before the pandemic it was a routine 9-5 job for parents and out of the busy schedule, it was difficult for parents to take out time for their kids but now when they have the opportunity they are utilizing it to the fullest.
