From the post: 15 Great Pieces Of Advice To Help You On Your Parenting Journey

And tell them often that you love them but more importantly show them by spending time with them. Let them be children and dont expect them to be small adults and for gods sake let them be who they want to be not what you wish you had been. Allow them to make their own mistakes because it’s the only way to truly learn.

Don’t force your religious beliefs down their throats because, whether you want to admit or not, it is just a belief and not a known and most likely the beliefs you have were chosen by your parents for you or the society you grew up in. I’m not a believer in any religion but my children, who are both grown now, don’t know that because maybe I’m wrong and I never felt comfortable making that choice for them when I can’t be sure of my own thinking on the matter. It’s entirely possible to teach good values and behavior without religion.

Alexandria Vera, a 24-year-old schoolteacher from Houston, Texas, has admitted to having an eight-month affair culminating in an aborted pregnancy with her 13-year-old student.

Investigators said that the illicit relationship began after the boy contacted Vera on Instagram, and they began having sex over the course of nine months.

One fellow student told KTRK that the pair’s flirtation spilled over into the classroom, where the boy once was seen grabbing his teacher’s behind.

Vera claimed to investigators that the boy’s parents knew what was happening, approved of it and let their son stay over at her house and were supportive of her keeping the baby.

Pennsylvania Church Holds ‘Blessing’ Ceremony Featuring AR-15 Rifles

Worshippers in a Pennsylvania church clutching AR-15 rifles drank holy wine and exchanged wedding vows in a commitment ceremony.

The event at the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary in Newfoundland, Wayne County, led a nearby school to cancel classes.

The Rev. Sean Moon leads the controversial church. He and his wife are known as the king and queen. Moon said in a prayer Wednesday that God gave people the right to bear arms. He held a gold AR-15 rifle throughout the ceremony.

Moon is the son of the Rev. Sun Myung Moon, a self-proclaimed messiah who founded the Unification Church, often described as a cult, in the 1950s.

What Is It Like To Have An Autistic Child?

(photo: @caleb_woods)

My daughter is nearly 19, she is the 5th of 5 children and if she had been first there would likely have not been more. She is time intensive and energy draining. She is not adaptive. She is at the higher end of the specturm although she has some very extreme deficits as well.

This past week she told me that she hates my guts, that she never gets enough attention, that is is unreasonable to only get 5 to 6 hours of my attention and conversation a day.

We could never get up and just decide to go to the zoo, because she doesn’t operate on spur of the moment. Everything has to be planned well in advance.
