Overheard on the playground..."why do we have to make good choices, though? Who decides they're good?" So schools are full of restorative conversations but they are very much supportive of the children figuring their own challenges out. Take emotion works or the five step program. Yes we teach children about their emotions. But we don't… Continue reading It’s good to explain

Control
I have had issues with control my entire life. I know now that this is a lot more related to my childhood than me. One parent who acted like a child and another who avoided as much as he could. One parent who would try to micro manage my every move and one parent who… Continue reading Control
Why I’m not…
Everyone is going through something at the moment. EVERYONE. Even Richard Branson. Ok fair enough if you've got that many millions and your concerns are anything other than about the health of you and your loved ones, maybe you should have made a better choice somewhere. But frequent feelings I hear talked about: dispair, fear,… Continue reading Why I’m not…
Unprepared for no choice
This is one of the gripes I have with the way I was parented. Not in a 'woe is me, I must punish' kinda way. But in a 'huh, I see where that went wrong' kinda way. Don't get me wrong, my parents are my parents and I will always love them for bringing me… Continue reading Unprepared for no choice

If they die,… Continue reading Because it’s all getting a bit real now.
Communication
Technology is apparently the devil. I don't see it. Even with the best will in the world, the devil is on everybody's shoulder some of the time. That's a social construct of humankind. Not a piece of furniture. If technology is causing problems, it's because of the humans that are using it. I don't have… Continue reading Communication
New Job
Here's the issue with therapy or mental health support of most kinds that I know of... They can't be there 24/7 unless you're locked up. And half the things you really want someone to be there for is to ground you when your brain malfunctions. Be it a sudden dip in mood, an inability to… Continue reading New Job
The issue
So I see what the issue is when women get upset about not getting attention from their man when they're out. Issue no.1: when a woman is single, friends will give them attention. Men and women, but mostly men. Issue no.2: when people live together they enjoy some one else's company on the odd occasion… Continue reading The issue

Balloting for funds
why cant we ballot funds for crimes or research or council spending? like we get to choose what our taxes go on. The money offered is down to public balloting rather than business politics. Say the bus company want their route to be updated or want to train drivers in something new; give it a… Continue reading Balloting for funds
