Purple has always been my favorite color before the gays adopted it

hahaaa! It's not the home life that's the problem, it's the school curriculum and teaching methods. You will run into it as he gets older. Since about 5th grade, I have had to go to teachers and ask for alternative writing prompts and research topics just to keep the boys interested. The teachers blamed the Common Core, but I don't know much about that. Just keep an eye out. If he seems disinterested in school it's because they are not letting boys pursue their interests! I will be quiet now. :duc
Yes I have seen what they do to boys around here. It’s hard. The boys at my Sunday school take twice as much energy as teaching the girls. And I only have them for two hours a week. You really have to be an advocate for your kids.
 
Ditto most of the things I liked to do and was good/decent at when young were things my father would look at me and say "BOYS DON"T DO THAT" well I am/was stubborn enough and had support from my mother and his mother that I did it anyway. Purple has always been my favorite color before the gays adopted it . Then for part of Dad manaditory alchol rehab he had to list what he admired the most about each of us children and then mail a copy to each of us kids. Mine was he admired my willingness/determination to do what I thought was right and do it regardless of what anyone thought including authority figures.. TOTAL VERIFICATION.
That’s awesome you finally got that confirmation. Anyone that can put up with us old biddies is pretty special.
 
well it's late and the time change is going to screw with me tomorrow. Beth got her can of "wet food" mixed with some puppy chow. So I am off to change clocks and then hit the rack.

I want to thank you all for your support over the whole puppy thing. And pray for no more drama.

I hope you all have a wonderful evening.

Good night , Sweet Dreams and warm fuzzies and prayers.

Speaking in broad generalities, most boys learn best when they can be active learners... doing something during the lesson... some physical activity, drawing, a game, building something, a puzzle. Sitting still and quiet takes so much energy for some of them, they can't focus on what is being said. Like spelling, give them some letter tiles and let them move them around to make words... they will learn!
