Fuck - our parents are getting older!
When I watched the final season of "Grace and Frankie" the other day, it struck me again: we're all going to die. The big spoiler of life. Before we die, we'll get even older. And before we get older, so will our parents. This is very creepy. Just as shocking and just as obvious as the realization that Mom and Dad must have had sex. You can smile away that over time, dementia and heart attack not really.

Stay at Home or Working Parent
As a single parent, I have had the opportunity to be both, a working mom and a stay-at-home mom. While some have never been granted the chance to choose, both roles are extremely important for the growth of both yourself and your children. As a working parent, you have an important role in making the money and ensuring that there is a roof over your head at all times. You wake up every morning and rush through your routine of getting dressed, brushing your teeth, and barely having enough time to grab a to-go cup of coffee. You shout at your kids to hurry out the door and all pile into your low-on-gas car for school drop-off. Your job isn’t just getting up and going to work but making sure everyone is up and out the door on time and in one piece. Time is of the essence and isn’t as easy as it sounds. Kids have their own clocks that have nothing to do with actual time. They are up when you wake them but can’t find one shoe. They are completely dressed but forgot to brush their teeth. When you almost reach their school for drop-off, they remember they left their homework at home but can’t remember where. As a working parent, you continuously have two jobs at all times. You sometimes find yourself staring at the moms or dads that are the easy-going, down-to-earth, stay-at-home parents. You sit in your car as your kids jump out of your vehicle and say bye to you. You commend all the other parents as they say goodbye to their kids without an ounce of rush in their steps. You think of how easy it is being able to go home and relax after drop-off. You desire that things could be as easy as that for you as well. You admire and even envy them for the life you wish you had.

The greatest tragedy of marriage
From no words to no words to say If you have been married for many years, how long has it been since you have communicated with the one at home? You will still communicate with TA heart-to-heart? Will still be eager to TA's every message? Do you communicate more than ten sentences a day?

Miscellany about the family of origin
Family of origin is a term that we have become more familiar with in the last two years. Family of origin is the family where one was born and raised, the family where one was before one had a family, and the place where one lived and grew up with one's parents and siblings.

Never thought it was your parenting style that led to your child's rebellion?
The other day, I had a big fight with my child's mother, because she felt that the child was wasted that the child would not do anything she was told to do, and would always go against her, for example, she told the child to wash the dirty socks, but the child would not listen; she told the child to brush the dishes, but the child would not listen either. Since I am usually the one who educates the children, she thinks that there is something wrong with my education style and comes to criticize and accuse me.
