I was watching a video of this woman and her son, and how she has neighbors who show up for them all of the time. She's a single mom and lives far from her family, and she has several neighbors who show up and do things for her...

Sissy15 @JudyEv I agree, it's just sad that it's this way. I mean there are still people there is a middle ground with but it's so hard to find anymore. It's not a general thing for most people. I remember always allowing my son to talk to people if they were being...

Sissy15 @JudyEv I know, it's sad. It doesn't help with everything that happened over the years like the boy scouts of America being sued for things that happened to young boys, but when you consider that's a small fraction of men and all men are being untrusted...

Sissy15 @JudyEv sadly, that's why it's so important that adults who are good role models are around them and being involved. If your husband enjoys children and is good with them I think that's great because he can maybe be a role model for some kids who need it even...

Something I've noticed along the way when it comes to raising my son is how small his audience is whenever he has anything going on. He has had soccer and t-ball games, once we realized he isn't a sports kid, he had school plays...

Sissy15 I agree, which he does know that they love him. We understand but sometimes it makes me feel bad that his cheering section is so small, but I figure he has us.

Sissy15 @celticeagle He definitely has his struggles that we have been working on but he knows he's loved and supported. He isn't always comfortable with his world, but he tries. He struggles with self confidence, but does know he is loved. Sometimes he struggles to...

Sissy15 It's funny how kids can bring out the best in people. I work with kids now for a living and honestly as much as I love them they aren't all very respectful. I think when they're really little having neighbors around who are kind and are a good influence can...

Sissy15 I agree, it's hard to find neighbors like that anymore. Thank you, my son has always been a very likable kid, even now as a teenager he has something about him that draws people in. I think kindness and small gestures mean more than most people realize. It's...

Sissy15 My son is a loner a lot of the time when he is home, but he also has days he loves to come and talk to me and watch movies. He is like me in that he likes being social in moderation and then likes left alone. He knows he's loved and he knows he is liked by a...

Sissy15 I agree, and he knows how loved he is. My son and I share a lot of interests together. He has become one of my favorite people to hang out with, he also has things he loves doing by himself. I think it's important for parents to let their kids lead the way...

I often think about my 90s childhood. It was very different from the way kids today are being raised. I remember the 5th-grade camp I went to with a fondness that stays with me to this day. I do have to say there was one part of...

Sissy15 @TheHorse yes, which is the reason I don't personally say or do a lot of the things I'd like to at work lol.

Sissy15 @TheHorse That was just part of camp back in the day, but now they don't really tell stories like that in fear of traumatizing children, nevermind that a lot of them are watching rated R horror movies. Doesn't make sense to me, but here we are.

Sissy15 @JudyEv I think it's the idea that we were treated as slaves. In this day and age at least in the US people find it to be in poor taste and think it would be traumatizing to children, but it was absolutely eye opening to me. I remember thinking wow those poor...

I don't think there is any greater compliment as a parent as someone telling you how amazing your child is. On repeat lately I've had people tell me how amazing my son is. I'm constantly told he is polite, respectful, kind, smart,...

Sissy15 I do, he's 15 now and I miss when he was smaller, but I'm enjoying who he is in this moment of his life, and trying not to get stuck in the past, because each stage is amazing just in different ways. I just miss when he was smaller and easier to make happy.

Sissy15 Thank you, me too. He struggles so much and genuinely doesn't understand what a big deal it is that he is who he is in a world where a lot of people aren't so kind or genuine. I've never met anyone who has met him that doesn't like him. He has a way about him...

Sissy15 Different camps do different things, Ohio has big ties to the underground railroad especially near where I was so they really leaned into it.

Sissy15 Haha, it was. Most people I tell that story to stare at me in disbelief if they didn't also have that experience. A lot of the newer teachers I work with are shocked when I tell them that story.

Sissy15 It did make an impression, that said it was a bit on the crazy side. Everyone I tell that story to thinks it's insane, I currently work in the same district I went to school in so a lot of the newer teachers can't get their heads around it, while some of the...

Yesterday was a nightmare in so many ways for me. The day started strong with a 2 hour delay, which was nice because I could sleep in a little before work. The issue with working at a school is that when there is a 2 hour delay,...

Sissy15 I heard it was happening everywhere. I'm guessing they're probably people that get amusement out of scaring people, or maybe feel powerful knowing they have so much control.

Sissy15 They happened all over Ohio yesterday. There were several on my area and then in different parts of the rest of the state. I heard the number was connected with Dayton ohio but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I genuinely question why people do things like...
