I didn't see watch the videos, probably saw them a few years ago though and forgot, but sometimes these marriages don't last. There's a few instances I've seen. Also, it didn't work out for our own California Boy poster on the board. And btw, the church owned BYU's once mascot, is married to a man. He came out after being the team mascot as a cougar. https://www.edgemedianetwork.com/story/272929#:~:text=A young man named Charlie,Not any more. This might help:

Terrible fours, love it! I hope my granddaughter could turn out like you, that would be great!

I hope you don't mind the laugh upvote, you are funny Calm!!

Thanks so much rpn!! These are ever so helpful suggestions, love the children's book idea as well.

The church has this website that I don't know if it will help. If it does, great, if not, I'm sorry. https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/gay?lang=eng It use to be labeled: Mormonandgay.lds.org but both will take you to the same website. Maybe because the church doesn't like using Mormon or gay descriptions any longer, I dunno.

You make a good point, I shouldn't make it all or nothing.

Well, the only thing that could happen is his temple recommend to do baptisms for the dead would be taken away. He can still attend and be a part of the ward. He may not be asked to give prayers or talks, and may have his ability to take the Sacrament away. So that would be huge, I believe, and difficult. But he can still commune at least. And I would wholeheartedly disagree with the Sacrament being withheld. Hopefully this practice is getting better. And he can renew his baptism covenants weekly.

I'm not too savvy about what the church does with the land. But after reading the following article, it looks like they lease it back to the farmer. Does that mean the farmer sold it to the church but can farm it and pay on a lease? Which bothers me. for good reason IMO. Could it be that the farmer couldn't keep up with the mortgage? If so, the church should just help them out. But you know me.... https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/the-mormon-church-a-massive-landholder-just-expanded-its-2b-us-farmland-portfolio-across-8-states/#:~:text=Farmland Reserve%2C with its long,they said in the statement.

You're making me cry! Happy tears, for you saying that. I constantly think I'm not. Thanks Jeanne! ❤️

Funny that you said this. I have a foot stool that is round and flat on the bottom but tall and lightweight like a cylinder and cheap enough that I didn't worry about it. Just today, she was karate chopping it with her hands and feet. It made me wonder if my daughter and son in law put her in karate. If not, this is an excellent idea!! She even mentioned the word karate.

Yes, I play the whole time nearly (never did that with my own, too busy cleaning and watching other kids but tried to) she'll say what she wants to do. Somewhat of a routine. I think these temper tantrums stem from lack of sleep perhaps, starting kindergarten, being the only child and she constantly talks as if she will be a big sister one day. But I'm not sure if she will be getting one. I don't ask her parents, I figure if they want to tell me they will. She does get spoiled by her other grandma, maybe a bit too much. I know they say grandparents are allowed, but when you tend weekly, each of us did, then they turn into your own child somewhat. I'm trying to figure it out, and how best to react. You have suggested things I had not thought of. Appreciate the time you spend with me and others on the board. Hope you get some more sleep. Three hours was all you got? If remembering right. You take care Calm!

I can't wait to thoroughly read this wonderful response and apply it to myself and granddaughter. Excellent advice with the doll/stuffy and the link too. I am unable to read the whole thing at this second, but what I did read got me excited enough to respond quickly to thank you!! ❤️

Feeling a little worried about my 5 year old granddaughter. She turned 5 in August. I try to watch her every Friday after school. I have watched her every Thursday all day for nearly all of her 5 years. She has absolutely changed, feels like overnight. She has these horrific temper tantrums if things don't go her way or if something isn't perfect. The last three times I've watched her she has thrown things and it looks like a cyclone happening. The first time was when we played tic tac toe together and I blocked her zero with the x and she threw a fit, her room was a disaster which was once spotless. She has a playroom in my home. The second time we played Barbies, and she was mad because I dressed her Ken doll with a different outfit. The third time, today, we made a form of slime, more like a mix of play dough and slime. Well, at every turn she was getting mad. I did read an article that 4 and 5 year olds have worse temper tantrums than when they are 2 or 3 sometimes and it made me less worried. But curious to know if any of you have had these situations. I don't remember it with my own children, but maybe it was something I wanted to forget!

This happened with my sister who was extremely angry because she'd watched/heard something about the state of Michigan being able to perform these surgeries on children, because of the running elect for VP of the US made it happen. I fact checked and that is false, so she's believing some media out there saying this will happen with a new law or policy. Here's the thing the running candidate did in actuality. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/walz-gender-reassignment-surgery-children/

I keep thinking they are going to develop the land into properties or communities, like they have elsewhere where they rent the homes/townhomes.
