Kids are usually the way they are because of the life they live at home

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 25 Jul

The older I get, the more I realize who and what matters, and the better I realize how to read people. The kids I work with are pretty difficult, but I've learned to see the things they sometimes try to hide with a hard or sneaky...

My son and his friends

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 24 Jul

Tonight, my son told me his friend was having a rough time, and he was trying to calm him down and make him feel better. I'm reminded once again why he is so amazing. He knows what it's like to be going through something hard, and...

The education system

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 24 Jul

One of my biggest pet peeves about my job is how I have to pay for everything out of pocket. Every year I have to pay for my aide license, and if I want my sub license, I have to pay for that. I also have to pay to have my...

My son and what he wants to do when he grows up

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 24 Jul

My son has probably gone through one of the worst years of his life recently, and while he will probably always struggle mentally, especially thanks to anxiety, he has figured out what he wants to do with his life through all of...

school lunches

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 24 Jul

I just saw an article saying Michigan is going to make it so every child in school gets a free school lunch regardless of income, and I have to say that's pretty amazing. I wish Ohio would get behind that. My son's elementary...

Debating on getting my sub license

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 24 Jul

I got an email today through the agency I'm hired through (I work at an elementary school, but I'm hired through an agency as a full-time paraprofessional), and they are seeking paras to get a sub license. It's not a requirement,...

My anxiety comes from other peoples anxiety

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 23 Jul

As I've gotten older, I have started to realize one of my biggest causes of anxiety is that I absorb other people's emotions. How someone else is feeling can completely make or break my day, and it's not something I can really...

Another update on the lost boy who was found

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 22 Jul

A little update about the lost boy who came home yesterday. I figured we wouldn't know anything about where he was or why he went missing. The family seemed dead set on not saying anything, but then today they had an interview...

Power Rangers

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 22 Jul

In the 1990s, we had all of the best children's shows, but maybe I'm biased. I grew up watching old TV shows and movies, but I also genuinely loved 90s TV. The hottest show on the air when I was a kid was The Power Rangers....

My hometown

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 22 Jul

I mentioned in a previous post that I missed my childhood home, but I also really miss my childhood hometown. I don't miss what it is today; I miss what it was back then. I grew up in a small rural town with a population of about...

Missing my childhood home

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 22 Jul

Whenever I see pictures of videos or hear stories about adults getting to go back home and sleep in their childhood bedrooms, or hang out with their parents who are still together, part of me feels a little sad/jealous. I'm always...

Lost boy found

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 22 Jul

About a month ago, I posted about how a local kid went missing. There were no known leads; he just up and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he was or where he was going apart from what he originally told people. He...

The dreaded boxing bear coat from my childhood

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 21 Jul

After talking about clothing brands in my other post, I made mention to someone in a comment about a coat I had as a kid, and iI started laughing. I laugh now, but at the time it was traumatizing. When I was a kid, we didn't...

My parents divorce

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 21 Jul

I remember a long time ago someone once asked me what it was like to be older when your parents divorced, because they had never known a life where their parents were together, and they thought it had to be extremely difficult to...

The shift in name-brand items

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 20 Jul

When I was growing up, Champion was considered an off-brand, and the kids who wore it typically didn't have money, and it was a dead giveaway to other kids that your family didn't have money. You often found Champion at Kmart or...

The Ohio State Reformatory

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 20 Jul

My husband and I like taking our son places and making memories. We usually stay within two hours of home (we have gone up to 4 hours but have to leave earlier in the morning, which we don't like) so we can make sure we get there...

My sister's second wedding

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 20 Jul

I've been watching some Hallmark movies lately, they're terrible, and I'm more than aware they are all super predictable, with most of them having the same storyline with different actors, but for some weird reason with the month...

A freak accident kills 5 people

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 19 Jul

There was a breaking news article in my area about a week ago. The story was horrifying and tragic, and something that almost no one ever thinks will happen. There was a family of five, one adult and four children, that had had...

What's in a name?

Sissy15 @sissy15 (13365) • United States 19 Jul

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." is a famous Romeo and Juliet line, and while maybe not quite the point of my post, it brings my mind to the question, why do people name their...
