Aniya's thoughts

Hi, my name is Aniya and I have one parent. I always thought I am missing out because I don't have a father in my life. My father lives less than 5 miles away and does not even come over and say hi or just to check on me and see how I am doing. All my friends talk about their father all the time and I have nothing to say about mine because I don't know him. I have never even met him.
I found out later in life that he use to hit my mom and call her names. That is why she left him when I was a baby because she loved me more than she loved him and wanted a better life for me. I realized then that she is my mother and father. She has loved me unconditionally and that's all any child need is for someone to love them. If my father really loved and cared for me he would of been in my life regardless of what happened in the past. It would be nice to have a father figure in my life but I am intent just having a mother in my life. She makes me happy and I love her very much.

My mother is my father!

Man up

It takes two to have a baby, but for some reason not all fathers help raise their child. They can produce a child but when it’s time to man up they run. Why is that? Most of the time they don’t even pay child support. Yeah, if they don’t pay child support then they go to jail. Jail doesn’t pay off. The county/government should work with businesses like McDonald's or even picking up trash on the side of the road. This way, the deadbeats can feel and learn how to provide for their child the right way. A while ago, the La Cross Tribune had 3 full pages in small print of deadbeat dads and that wasn’t all of them. It is ridiculous to see that many names of people who haven’t taken care of their child. When is this going to stop?

It might be a good thing that my daughter is not shy but it could also be a bad thing. There are so many perverts out there in the world; I could not ever imagine taking my eyes off my little angel.
There are 19,419 sex offenders in Wisconsin alone. Have you check the sex offender list lately to see how close they are to your children.

Imagine falling down the stairs and waking up from a comma 21 days later. Imagine finding out the doctors cut part of your brain out because it swelled up. Imagine finding out you can't walk, or talk, or even eat on your own. Imagine learning the baby steps all over again at the age of 21.
I met a man like this, a couple of days ago. Not knowing what he has been through, my daughter kept herasing him at a restaurant we were at. She was playing video games with him, she even told him he is naughty and he needs a time out. The funny part about all this was he had so much fun with her.
After his table was done eating they got their coats and left. About 5 minutes later this man came back in the restaurant and walked right up to me and told me " Aniya made his day". Then he proceeded in telling me what he has been through and what he has accomplished. He said he hasn't laughed like that in a long time.
This makes a mother very proud of her child.
Has anyone else had this experience?

Why do children now a day's act different?

When I was a child I often explored daring new worlds, violently clashed swords with famous pirates, flew with the birds and got dirty doing it. I had an eventful childhood. I had a wild imagination which took me all over the world.
Now that I have grown up, I would have hoped my imagination would have transferred to my daughter but it did not. She likes to go outside but only if she had other children and toys to play with and only for a short period of time. I have found that if I would start by playing outside with her at first she will continue playing outside. This took her a while but now she likes to fly with the birds, clash swords with famous pirates and explore daring new worlds.
