My mom called that day and told me she couldn’t babysit. My dad’s schedule changed, as it often did, and they were going to take the fortuitous next forty-eight hours off to ride their motorcycle somewhere and get away.

Enhancing Your Fertility
The desire to have a child is a very deep need for some people. In the old days, it seemed that fertility was easier and not such a struggle for so many. There did not seem to be such a need for fertility specialists, or such a widespread emphasis on enhancing conception. In the modern age however, people have realized that they must take actions to remain in a healthy, fertile state. Many of these proactive measures involve consumption of healthy fruit and vegetables, as well as lifestyle and emotional changes.

Harper Leigh
It's Harper Leigh's Birthday! She's turning four years old and is ready for the Amazon boxes to show up on our doorstep! Being the first born girl, she is used to the whole family sending ridiculous amounts of presents our way. In the last four years, I have yet to buy her a birthday gift. She has yet to notice. She's too busy with the towers of boxes on our stoop. We are very fortunate.

Surrogate Parenthood
We are living in an age of declining global birth rates due in no small part to falling rates of fertility in both men and women.

Dad
I know what it’s like to want to make your dad proud, but it seems like you can’t. I know what it feels like to want to do everything you can to make him proud. I know what it feels like to be the one that seems to always fuck up. I know what it feels like to be the disappointment. I know what it feels like to be the one that cannot do anything right. Seems as if he praises what ever one else is doing in their life expect what you are doing because you cannot do right. You made one mistake in your life, and it is like no matter what you do will ever be good enough. It seems as if you always fuck up, or you are doing too much, but nothing you ever do in your life will make him proud.

The Greens and The Browns
Charlie Green came home after a busy day of fixing pipes, toilets, and other plumbing jobs. He was tired. His tall slim frame slumped as he came through the door, but he brightened when he saw his daughters running toward him. Six-year-old Betty Sue with her long flaxen hair and blue eyes was first to jump onto his knee as he squatted with his arms outstretched. Linda Lou, her junior by two years, took the other knee. She had her daddy’s brown wavy hair. Both girls enjoyed a hug from their daddy as he growled and rubbed his stubbly chin on each of his daughter’s cheeks after planting a kiss. The girls giggled and walked with him to his favorite chair. He put his feet up on the well-worn footstool. Each daughter chose a boot and began undoing the laces. Once they pulled off his boots, they smiled mischievously and began to tickle their daddy’s feet. He gave a warning look, the girls giggled and raced from the room. Charlie smiled as he picked up his iPad to check his emails. His wife, Rhonda, leaned down and pecked him on the cheek. Her long blond ponytail fell forward over Charlie’s shoulder. “Dinner will be ready in ten minutes.”

Fucked up
Sometimes life is just a little more fucked up than we planned or wanted it to be. We often plan our lives out when we are kids. We know what we want to be, and we know what we want to do; we always believe that it will happen just as we planned for it to, but what we don’t know is that it rarely ever goes as we planned.

The Long Thaw
Passing by the old garden I became nostalgic as I remembered summers long forgotten. My brother and I would spend hours in that garden.

How Does The Pandemic Have A Psychological Impact On Children?
An occasion that for the second consecutive year is altered by the development of the Coronavirus pandemic. More than celebrations, which for sure there will be in some parks, public and family spaces, the moment is propitious to reflect on how this context of restrictions affects the psychology of children in the country.
