Since Ben & Jerry's introduced Peach Cobbler as an ice cream flavor, millions of houses have gone into foreclosure or are in imminent danger of doing so.

1. In response to my daughter saying she missed me because I was gone in Utah, the friend said "I wouldn't miss my Dad, he's mean to me." 2. Another friend told another daughter she was jealous because "your dad is fun". And I'm certainly no super dad.

Are you suggesting that the Proclamation declares that such cultural differences existed in the pre-mortal spirit world? If so, I think that is a doctrinal novelty. The paragraph begins by making declarations regarding males and females, and spirit sons and daughters. It looks to me like an application of sexuality is being made, albeit in both a conventional physical sense and an LDS-specific spiritual sense. The spirits are sons and daughters of heavenly parents, and are not merely spiritual masculines and feminines.

It's easy being a "fun" outsider, like a grandparent. Less satisfactory to be a fun parent.
For example, I bet you could come in and be a more "fun" scoutmaster without too much trouble. Doesn't mean you would be a better scoutmaster. |

I don' thtink it is likely that the statement would be so sloppy as to use gender when they meant sex, but I could certainly be wrong.

The kids in our ward all say my wife and I are the coolest parents. I'm thinking of volunteering to teach a special parenting seminar for the ward.

Because mortal frailties exist, there is the distinct possibility in very rare cases that the mortal body assignment didn't work out perfectly (people being born with both sex organs and/or "males" being born into a female body and vice versa). The 2nd paragraph is my hypothetical $0.02 and even though I'm throwing this out, I don't believe the above to be true with any real certainty. Last edited by Indy Coug; 07-07-2008 at 07:19 PM. |

I know fathers who just ride their daughters at softball games. "If you'd do it like that everytime, you'd hit a home run everytime." Bark orders at their kids to shut up or go grab a diet coke. There are plenty of kids who don't hear much positive about themselves. Barring some miracles, these active LDS kids with two parents at home are going to have a lot of issues.
