Yes, I said it. I’m asking, praying, hoping my children turn out like that child at the park. The one that indulges my child’s insistent yammering. The one who lets my son follow him around and includes them in play. The one who says Okay to everything my son suggests and becomes a part of the elaborate story he’s…

My Choice – Decoded
I love it when one of these controversial things come out and take the internet by storm. With an opinion being a like and share button away things go viral in an instant. People have reactions, strong, mild to medium often mixed but none the less valid because the reaction is of course in direct proportion to their personal experiences.…
