Much needed advice. I need more atheist friends.

Oh he'll have trouble alright. He will make all sorts of mistakes, get caught up in all sorts of weird shit and break your heart several times along the way.

But thats how we form our character isn't it. Through trials and tribulations. We try to protect them of course, but you have to know, we will fail. And in some ways its good that we do so, because if we DID manage to protect our children from the world when they were kids we would rob them of that most essential of all attributes, the ability to fall and pick ourselves up.

Thats how I keep myself sane at least!

You are absolutely right. That is the main reason I would not home school. He needs to be exposed to the battles of life.
He also needs social interaction, from all walks of life. I do trust in myself though, that I will never allow him to fall too hard.

You can call me "Min," dear. As in the avatar, Min was the ancient Egyptian god of turquoise....or something.

Haha. Well, Min, turquoise happens to be my favorite color.
You may call me Shayna, since it is my birth name, and I'm quite fond of it.
