Being a Taboo Parent
Being a special needs parent shouldn't be as isolating nor as awkward as it is. If you have been through a long term nicu stay, it should not be met with awkward sympathy nor should it automatically shut other parents up. I mean, yes, back when I was living at nationwide children's hospital alone with only my infant, it did get depressing to see how many people came and went. It was a bitter sweet thing to see so many people make the going home announcement while I was wondering when would it be our turn but she's out now. She's out, she is healthy and most importantly she's a survivor. We don't want sympathy for what she went through. We'd rather have excitement that she made it.

Life With OCD
As far back as I can remember, I struggled with everything needing to be perfect. My first memory related, was when I was in early elementary school. I had to have my work perfect. By perfect, I mean it had to look absolutely perfect- if I looped a "B," I had to erase but if I left an eraser mark, it didn't count and I would have to copy everything onto a new paper until there were no marks and no messy letters. To this day, people complement my handwriting. The ones I'm friends with, I'll joke about why my handwriting is so neat, other times I'll just thank them and move on.

Simple Tips to Green Up Your Life
You don't have to live out in the country to live a more sustainable life. You also don't have to be a stay at home mom/housewife/house husband or stay at home dad in order to cook more home made meals or start making your own detergents, cleaners or anything else around your home.
