    This is great. I turned 40 this year and for the past year or so I’d just been telling my oldest to embrace his “weird”. He’s always been an “old soul”, and he’s got such a unique personality, I don’t want the world taking that from him.

    Unfortunately he is getting picked on for all of it. Not wanting to eat meat. Absolutely loving our pet chickens (layers). Not believing in God (he has been getting so much shit from 3 other kids).

    At least the teacher has his back.

      I was picked on a lot. Now I have a cudgel at the ready for those who try and step on anyone I mentor or my kids.

      You’re more patient than I would be in that situation.
