And I'm the one the VP called whenever there were behavior issues. I can relate to your experience that its really weird being the only dad in the middle of all tho... |

| To me, foregiveness is a gift that you can choose to give or not. Some people are worth giving the gift of foregiveness to, and some are not.

Its an expression that means "choosing something without much thought." As you've noted, it does not mean "at random" in the literal sense of the term. |

| I'm contributing because Caitlin told me I need to contribute more. Thanks a lot Caitlin :wink: So, if a 13 year old has never been to summer camp before, I think 13 is too old to force into a summer camp experience. With my son, he's been going to camp since he was very young. First day camp, and l... |

| No. Except for teachers because its in my child's IEP, and some trusted family members but not all and not even most. On this matter I let the golden rule guide my actions for the most part, and my child is very embarrased of his differences and does not tell anybody, and I respect his feelings. |
