Stay-at-home dad

damaged, but when it all comes down to it, in the end there will be a clear sky and maybe even a rainbow. Fights, divorce, prison, home, prison, house arrest, and amongst it all, the lies are all a part of my world. Everyone has their own little world, consisting of the people close to and around them, mainly consisting of their family. In my own little world I have my dad, my mom, my Grandma Janet, and my four siblings Erin, Lillian, Stevie, and my half-brother Stetson. The world you come from…

The " big bad wolf". Once upon a time there was a lonely wolf. This wolf roams around in the woods all day every day. His name was Benard Wolfington. His parents left him when he was a young pup, so now he stays here in these woods not knowing anywhere else to go. Travelers pass through the woods, from time to time, and Benard tries to talk to them but they ignore him and carry on their way. This upsets the wolf. When the wolf gets upset he lets out a howl and the wind from his breath blows the…

off like like most of our family vacations. My mom wanted to go somewhere for spring break and my dad didn’t want to pay a lot of money. So, they settled for the Wisconsin Dells. We always took my dad’s truck on road trips because it had lots of space and a movie player. This year going on the vacation it just was my mom, dad and sister, Sloane. My brother Chandler could’ve come since he was home, but since we had a cat he used that as an excuse not to come. After that we packed up and started…

Helping children to transition from being home with mom and dad into a schoolroom setting can be trying for some little ones. As explained in our reading, it is important for the teachers to first recognize and accept that there could be fear, sadness and agree happening within the heart of the child (Gestwicki, 2017, p. 269). Teachers need to be prepared to offer support for both the child as well as the parent. These chapters talked a great deal about the child, but I feel that in some cases…

fact that I am his. I had a hard childhood my father was in the cold war and when he returned home he was not the same as before he left. He was no longer able to fully function in society. He went from being funny and loving to being someone who did not trust anyone. I would hear stories about how people loved to be around my dad. And that my dad loved to be around people. But this changed after he came home. My mother said his condition was too much for her and she divorced him when I was 7…

people. I would go to my cousin's house all the time when my mom and dad would go on dates. California is one of the biggest state’s I have ever been in. My Dad got a job out in Conway, so we had to move to Greenbrier. I love the feel of Greenbrier. Every time I go to church I get this feeling that I will stay here for a long time. “ How did Arkansas change to who you are now?”. When I was 10 and we lived in California my mom and dad told us that we were moving to Arkansas. I was thrilled…

for me. After all, the apartments where I used to live, at we had gotten in some issues. I don 't exactly remember but we had to move. We could have moved to a new home in the same area, but we moved real far from where we were. It was up in the mountains where we moved, closer to my grandparents. I never understood why we did move. My dad was working and had a great job, just one day we upped and moved from the plains to the mountains. Before my whole family moved up there, they sent me to…

winter break was almost over and I was trying to enjoy the rest of my time relaxing. However, around 9:00 pm my peace got interrupted. I heard my sister scream in panic, “oh my god, Mom! Quick!” At the time, my two sisters and brother still lived at home so I was used to them running around, loud phone calls, and my oldest sister yelling at someone or something. However, this time was different. I immediately knew something was wrong. My mom ran downstairs asking if everything was okay. I jumped…

tornadoes we have had. My family and I were getting so worried because my dad was at football practice, across town. We didn’t know what to think, but we were trying to stay positive for my two little nieces that wouldn't stop crying. All the cellphone lines were out, so we couldn’t get ahold of my dad. We were listening to a radio, we had at my house, and they were saying that the tornado hadn’t hit the school were my dad was at, that it looks like it was going around it. My mom was so…
