Our schooling and the fake pandemic

I think that the first shock-wave that hit me as a parent was that there was nothing, from all my schooling, that I could pass down to my children. It was horrifying to discover then!

At the same time, what was also quite a shock to me, was the fact that I had so little (if any) information despite all my schooling, about raising kids. To my 21 year old self, that was a real shocker. And the beginning of a journey of my own research, still continuing to this day.

Our comfort zones

Every day I see her photos. They are on my computer's screen saver as a slideshow and all around the house.

Every day I see her books, her toys, her writings, her drawings, her crafts. They're everywhere. It's a house that has always been kid-centered.

Every day I see her clothes. They're still hanging in her wardrobe and folded in her drawers. I know that most don't fit her anymore.
