Of course. It's true, sadly Let's just hope puberty is kind to him as at is not, to very very many of us :/ BTW, just posted some more silly pics
He is pretty handsome and this will sound shallow but I am glad. Not because I would love him any less but there is sadly a prejudice in favor of more attractive people in terms of them getting more opportunities (or at least according to some studies I've read) so I am glad there won't be something like that for people to discriminate against him for.
Isn't that just adorable I used to only play with girls in kindergarten. Somehow, boys didn't like me :/ Hope those skills help him someday
Hahaha :P. Some of the little ladies already like him. He has already had some little girls from his playgroups bring him flowers and raisins and whatnot.
You better watch him. He's gonna grow up to be a heartbreaker! Hurr hurr.
Oh, I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience with the counseling >.<. That makes me a bit sad. But I am glad that we can share this too My boyfriend and I have agreed to raise him together (even though he is technically my son) and so we made the decision to leave it up to him to decide when he is older. And thank you . He doesn't look much like me, but he is handsome :P
Nope, that's just is I wasn't that satisfied with the counseling, to be honest, but I guess that might depend on where you're from. We already knew all there is to know about natural family planning, and aside from that there was regular talk about abortion and stuff like that and one lecture I couldn't bare because it was about gender roles and attitudes many religious fanatics have on them have always bugged me >.< I actually never realized Canada was so religious! I always figured you guys were mostly unreligious, but there you go I also come from a largely Catholic country and was raised as such, though let's say my parents's stance on religion was quite... Lax. I mean, they still identify as Catholic, but dad has a lot of strange views on top of that, while my mom was, for most of her life, terrified of being overly religious due to living with a crazy schizophrenic grandma who was also a devout Catholic. Now she works at a school run by nuns so she has come to terms with her Catholicism really well, though she's still very scared of Confessions. I always believed in God and considered myself Catholic, but didn't really try that hard until I met my Ania who is very religious and has infected me with that attitude That said, we've also become much, much more open-minded and critical of some of the things the Church does in recent years, but our faith stands strong, unwavering. I'm really glad we can share this. I'm so glad you made the decision to be baptized yourself! It's so great of your mother to leave that decision to you, but I guess it's pretty much the same as when you get your Confirmation? Anyway, I'm really happy for you and can't wait for you to really join the Church officially I also think it's adorable that your son is going to be there to see it. Is he going to be baptized when he's ready as well or is he already? (BTW, I saw his pictures. What an adorable little boy! )
Reading that, they are VERY cautious about it, which I understand, but there is some hope. Getting married in a Catholic Church is very important to me, so I'm glad to see this. I'll bookmark it and print it off and keep it somewhere should the issue arise in the future. I'm actually from a very Catholic part of Canada (then again, the whole country is largely Catholic :P) so I've never dated someone who wasn't a Catholic before, so this was a new issue to consider. I am glad to see they're trying to be accommodating. Let's face it, it's not a church that readily embraces change :P. I was raised Catholic and I consider myself Catholic, but I was never officially baptized because my mother wanted it to be my decision. I actually was more of an agnostic in my teens (didn't know what I believed) but after having my son, I read the Bible and something just clicked for me. So I plan to be baptized when my son moves down because I would like him to be there for such an important event. I'm actually very excited about it I brought up pre-marriage counseling to sharky at one point, and I didn't realize it was a Catholic thing :P. He got a bit offended because he thought it was like marriage counseling, meaning it was because we had problems to work though, and he was like "Why do you assume we'll have problems like that? That's a bit pessimistic." And I had to explain to him what it was. I think pre-marriage counseling is a great idea, especially since divorce is supposed to be forever, it is important to take it seriously and address these things before hand. He understood better after I explained :P. I honestly thought everyone went through it and everyone knew about it so I was shocked to find out he had never heard of it xD
Oh, see? There you go!
Don't mention it I'm still not positive what I said is indeed true, but I guess you can look it up. The Church must have some official site or something. Though I know there are cases when priests ignore some laws they are not comfortable with or those which are at odds with the local community. I at least know it's true here. My wife's BFF (and mine by extension) is Catholic and has an atheist boyfriend. They're in a pretty serious relationship, so we wondered about what their wedding would look like and found out about this interesting tidbit. We even asked a priest when we were having our pre-marriage counseling and he confirmed it. So, worst-case scenario, come get hitched in Poland
