What an example you must set for your children. Your lucky children, I should say -- to have mother, such as yourself, who is willing to let the eyes of society, look at her unkindly -- judgmental. But they have a mother that knows, damn well .., society won't pick them up when they fall. The skills needed to survive as a functioning, contributing adult, in todays world, are not God given -- they are taught by insightful, knowledgeable, caring and loving parents, such as you, @fairytalelife. For you have chosen to take the road less traveled.., and raise actual human beings,, that will be able to confront whatever comes there way… Cheers, to you!
