“Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of life’s longing for itself. They come through you, but not from you. And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you”

I parent differently from the norm, and I have been judged repeatedly because of it.
I parent differently from the norm, and I have been judged repeatedly because of it. My Parenting style has been talked about since I became a parent, it is very interesting that my girls are amazing, while the majority of my shit talkers messed their kids up! I feel for their children.
Needless to say, I parent my children in a way that many people don't understand. Throughout my life, I've often been labeled a bad mother. Let me set the record straight: I am an exceptional mother. I am blessed with amazing children whom I choose to parent differently from the norm. I haven't broken my children, (like how horses are broken) as is often the conventional approach, simply because it's easier. I'm referring to fear-based parenting—where commands are issued without explanation, where a child's beliefs are overshadowed by our own, where discussions are absent because a child's understanding is dismissed. If you didn't raise your children in this manner, then my words shouldn't sting. However, I believe many of you are familiar with individuals who subscribe to such parenting practices.
Girls are often conditioned to conform to societal expectations, while boys are pressured to adhere to a predetermined notion of masculinity. Neither are encouraged to embrace their true selves. I've raised my children to think independently and to comprehend that every action carries consequences. For instance, I've explained that while they technically could take that cookie, there are repercussions—such as a timeout or being deprived of further treats. They understand that their decisions have outcomes, rather than facing admonishment or physical punishment. Though I have resorted to spanking in extreme cases, it's never been my default approach. Instead, I've transformed every situation into a learning opportunity, engaging them in conversations as equals. I've validated their emotions and viewpoints, even when they weren't ideal, and provided alternative perspectives. I've fostered an environment of open communication and honesty, discouraging self-deprecation and uplifting them through praise.
As a result, I've raised daughters who possess a strong sense of self-worth, unafraid to voice their opinions. They won't succumb to the first boy who compliments them because they already know their intrinsic beauty. My daughters are resilient because I refused to break their spirits; they're assertive because I've continually nurtured their personal development, recognizing that self-growth is an ongoing journey. While I may still worry about them when it comes to dating—because what mother wouldn't—I take solace in knowing they're equipped to navigate relationships with strength and conviction. I can't help but feel sorry for any young man who underestimates their resolve.

Bonus:
We need to be risky, otherwise we will stagnate and we wouldn't know how to take care of ourselves instinctively. Biggest example here would be learning how to ride a bike. It's a risk peppered with cuts, bruises, and minor concussions, but in return, we get a sense of balance, body coordination and alertness to traffic.
Great Read!
Drawing for a children’s book, “la Constitution explicada a un niño” ( The Constitution explained to a child), in which the grandma of Joaquín, during the Spanish Constitution fest, explains him how important the Constitution is.
It is a project of Mrs. Raquel Marañón, Secretary General of Madrid Assembly, and friend of me, and myself, although the idea is from her. She wrote the texts and I did illustrations.
It is an easy edition about Spanish Constitution, along its pages one can read about fundamental rights, institutions and State organisation, in a very light lenguaje, so children can understand the main lines of our Carta Magna.
Dibujo para un libro infantil, “La Constitution explicada a un niño”, en la que la abuela de Joaquín le explica a su nieto, durante el día de la Constitución, lo importante que es ésta.
Es un proyecto personal de Raquel Marañón, Secretaria General de la Asamblea de Madrid y amiga mía, y mío. La idea fue suya, así como los textos, mientras que yo hice las ilustraciones.
Es una edición sencilla de la Constitución Española, con un lenguaje fácil dirigido a los niños, en la que pueden familiarizarse con los derechos fundamentales, las instituciones y la organización del Estado en nuestra Carta Magna

To: parents who have no idea about their child
The one thing that bugs me the most about parents is the phrase "I know everything about you." The amount of times I hear that phrase is uncountable. Also the funniest phrase to ever been told to me. It's so funny how parents seem to think they know about their child. Sorry to break it to you, Sir, Madam but their best friend might know better than you. Let me ask you if you think that way toward your children, do you know that your child cry themselves to sleep every night? alone in the dark where no one else knows? Or do you know how many times they were on the verge of giving up? Or that they have depression, anxiety, ADHD and many other more? Yeah that's what I thought. Do you know they cut up their flesh in order to cope? Or that they're emotionally unavailable and is trying hard to stay alive which you thought was laziness. Well let me enlighten you. it isn't. And I also like to bet you don't know they have trauma which was most likely caused by you either. So yeah I would like to sincerely ask you to stop spouting that lie, please and thank you.

Cosa un certo tipo di fandom di Harry Potter vorrebbe che imparassimo: mettersi in quattro a bullizzare un ragazzino per sette anni, essenzialmente perche' è diverso, è considerato accettabile, dato che pratica Arti Oscure. Remus Lupin ha avuto un'infanzia sfortunata, Severus Piton, se l'ha avuta, è stata meritata oppure se l'e' voluta. È assolutamente normale che, se un tuo amico viene a chiederti scusa per averti insultata, tu lo mandi a c*care e insulti i suoi amici su voci non verificate, ingiungendogli: "o io o loro". Il razzismo di sangue non e' tollerato, ma e' consentita la discriminazione per ceto e per Case, e la schiavitu' degli elfi domestici.
Cio' che ho capito io: James Potter e' un personaggio amorfo, di cui si parla poco nel libro, e che alla fine ha piu' difetti che qualita'. Harry Potter non e' una saga conservatrice, ma e' cosi' che la interpreta una fetta di pubblico.
Va considerato "canonico" solamente cio' che si trova scritto nei libri (preferibilmente i sette di Harry Potter) e non le occasionali dichiarazioni pubbliche dell'autrice. Harry Potter ha una trama ad incastro dove nessuno ha l'ultima parola, ma gli avvenimenti scattano perche' qualcuno ha perso l'occasione di star zitto.
A tener saldi i Malandrini non era l'amicizia, bensi' il sentimento "noi contro tutti", Grifondoro contro Serpeverde. E infatti si sono disgregati nel tempo.
Piton, suo malgrado, ha fatto conoscere Lily e James. Se Piton non ci fosse, Harry non sarebbe nemmeno nato.
Lily è probabilmente il personaggio con meno empatia e il piu' egoista di tutti.
E, cosa assai piu' importante, non conta se l'amore della tua vita ti rifiuta: tu non puoi impedirti di amarla.
This is asking about things like scooters, kites, etc where the toy can't be shared by two people at the same time.
