Retribution for being trouble-making parents. So now we pick and choose our battles more carefully. We don't make a stink about every grade on every homework assignment. Think about me what you will.
No judgment from me, way.

I wish I could relate and comprehend to that situation, but Beorn's condition being what it is, he has never had any friends, and up until he entered high school, his schools were so small, the same kids were together year after year no matter what.

Even without his condition, my understanding is that little girls and boys are different. Especially at that age.
We do what we think is best as parents, and to hell with what others think.

"Yes. in some situations, noun is used to describe another noun, such as apple pie, math teacher."

I don't think anything about you personally, Wayfriend. I'm hardly the perfect parent myself (those people scare me), just a guy with opinions.
