Or he’s not. I don’t care. He is still my son. And he is 5. And I am his mother. And if you have a problem with anything mentioned above, I don’t want to know you.
Ok, so here's my question is this bullying? I mean, when I read the article, the reactions of the women made my stomach turn, but are they actually bullying the woman and her son as she suggests? I agree with much of what the writer has to say, but I do wonder what makes this bullying. What do you think?
We can blame Miley and the culture she grew up in, but ultimately we need to look at the culture we’ve created.
I will be posting my answer to last week’s Joe Knows question on Wednesday. You can find last week’s question here. We’ve had some great answers given to last week’s question regarding family vacations. Here’s this week’s question: Hi Joe, My wife and I have four children. Our oldest is 19. She won’t do anything…
I'd like to think that we all want to listen to each other. I would like to believe that almost everyone I meet wants to be an excellent listener. And yet the chaos of our world often feels overwhelming. It can often seem like everywhere I turn, I see people who are not listening Even…
Good books should bring us all to the table for conversation. They should honestly survey the research, which will almost always show some research that contradicts the author’s thesis.

Don’t worry about how other people will perceive it. I recently talked with a woman about her current self-view and childhood. She related to me the story of her high school math class. It was the day she would find out if she had done enough to pass her class. She had worked as hard…
I’m afraid these shows highlight out societies obsession with the wrong things. We use the TV to anesthetize our own existential issues.

i don’t really think that was bullying. if she let him dress that way a few years from now, then yeah, he would experience some real bullying. not that i think that would be ok; it’s just a fact. i personally wouldn’t let my son wear it. not because i think it would make him gay or anything, and i wouldn’t love him any less if he was. BUT the vast, vast, vast majority of people are heterosexuals and fall somewhere into traditional gender roles, and the sight of a little boy dressed up as daphne and carrying a purse is a little jarring.
i’m not gonna lie, when i saw the pic i was a little creeped out.
