If your mother is over 50 and doesn't lift anything heavier than a bucket of water, send her this. After menopause, women lose bone and muscle faster. Strength training is one of the best ways to slow that down. Start simple: sit-to-stand from a chair, wall push-ups, carrying shopping bags. Twice a week.

Teaching my son things from my perspective and approach as a man.. and having always had the duty of also teaching him things from the gentleness that a mother would teach their child isn't easy; BUT GOD knew I could handle life as a single father... that's why we Still Here.

I post this pic every year on this date because this was the last picture I took with my Dad I lost my Pops 6 years ago today. When my father passed I realized he was the only man that would ever tell me that he was proud of me His favorite holiday is in a few days which is Veterans Day Other than that, November sucks for me, but I try to make the best of it Pop wouldn’t want me to have my head down Miss you Pop, Happy Veterans Day!!! 🫡

THIS IS WHAT REAL PARENTING LOOKS LIKE! A FATHER DISCOVERS HIS SON HAS BEEN BULLYING OTHERS — AND DECIDES TO TEACH HIM A LESSON: A father's approach to teaching his son about bullying is getting attention online, and it's sparking a conversation every parent should be having. After learning about his son's behavior, this dad decided it was time for a lesson in respect, discipline, and accountability. Instead of simply ignoring the problem, he put on boxing gloves and used a training session to teach his son about responsibility and the importance of treating others with respect. HIS MESSAGE WAS SIMPLE: NO BULLIES IN MY HOUSE! And I think that's a lesson worth teaching. Too many young people grow up believing they can mistreat others without consequences. They think being bigger, stronger, or more intimidating gives them the right to push people around. BUT REAL STRENGTH ISN'T ABOUT HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU CAN INTIMIDATE. IT'S ABOUT HAVING THE DISCIPLINE TO CONTROL YOURSELF. Especially when it comes to how young men treat women. Being physically stronger than someone doesn't give you the right to disrespect, threaten, intimidate, or hurt them. A young man should understand that strength comes with responsibility. Respect matters. Self-control matters. Character matters. And those lessons should begin at home. A FATHER'S JOB ISN'T JUST TO PROVIDE FOR HIS CHILDREN. IT'S ALSO TO PREPARE THEM TO BECOME RESPONSIBLE ADULTS. That means teaching accountability, respect for others, and the difference between confidence and cruelty. Of course, discipline should never become an excuse for abuse. A supervised boxing lesson should be about instruction and self-control, not hurting a child. But the larger message here is important. RAISE STRONG SONS. RAISE RESPECTFUL SONS. RAISE SONS WHO KNOW THAT REAL MEN DON'T NEED TO BULLY PEOPLE TO FEEL POWERFUL. WE NEED MORE PARENTS WILLING TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN ABOUT RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, AND CONSEQUENCES. And sometimes the most valuable lessons are the ones children remember for the rest of their lives. DO YOU THINK THIS FATHER HANDLED THE SITUATION THE RIGHT WAY? LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS!

When being just and honest comes at a price, pay it. When forgiving seems like a defeat, forgive. When everyone tells you to think of yourselves first, do not be afraid to put yourselves in the last place. Be willing to give up time, money, comfort and plans to serve others. May those who see you find themselves asking: “Why do they live in this way? Where do they get this freedom? Why do they love one another so much?” #ApostolicJourney #Uruguay

They knew exactly where to go… It takes a village, and seems like these kids have a good village.

Spiritual father is more important than your biological father Spiritual father is more intentional ……… Naye mwe 😒😒😒😒😒

I bought my first Tesla in September 2018. Purely because of autopilot. It allowed me to supercommute 150 miles a day after a night shift and not have to worry about falling asleep and running off the road. I bought FSD in 2019 after experiencing autopilot and being blown away. FSD was a natural extension of autopilot that would allow me the freedom to sit back and recapture all my time on the road. I bring up freedom because I feel like I've always seen Teslas as the best EV for hitting the road, never having to worry about charging, and letting the car do most of the driving. I drove other EVs before Tesla, but Teslas at that point (and still are) in a league of their own. As our family got bigger, we moved up to Model Ys, then eventually decided we wanted something even bigger and more useful. In came the Cybertruck. The same great Tesla package of easy charging, ease of use, the added utility of a pickup truck, and that same great self driving. I think that the Cybertruck's impending sunset hit home because after the Model S, X, and now the Cybertruck, it really hits home that Tesla doesn't seem to want to continue innovating in the customer car segment. I get the benefits of autonomous driving (we have two Teslas with FSD purchased!) and it changed from being a party trick in the early years to an absolute requirement in any car - my wife will not let me buy a new car that doesn't drive itself! We use it every. single. day. in both of our Teslas. It's made roadtrips a breeze. Commutes no longer are stressful. But what I don't understand through all of this is the absolute notion from Tesla that we need to delete the steering wheel, the pedals, the ownership, the freedom of having a vehicle. With a young child, non-consumer owned vehicles like Robotaxi are a non-starter for us. We'd be taking car seats in and out at every stop. Waiting for a ride to show up with an inpatient kid crying next to us. We go camping, drive off the beaten path, and need the ability to drive manually at some points. And we absolutely need to own a vehicle so that we're not at the whim of waiting for a robotaxi to show up. I also see Tesla as being one of the few companies that allowed us to take almost all of our energy consumption and vertically integrate it ourselves. Become completely energy independent. We make the electricity on our roof, it powers our house, it charges our cars, and fills our Powerwalls and Cybertruck so we can both save money and protect ourselves from outages. Their product lines as a whole have allowed us a freedom no other company has given us. And they all work perfectly together. I can't fathom a future where we don't own our own vehicle. And it's hard to fathom us not driving Teslas either. It just doesn't make sense. Vehicles since they were invented were a symbol of personal freedom and being able to hit the road and go on your own adventure. Tesla's products let us do that. And kept us safe on the road and at home. Watching the decisions Tesla is making recently has just left me puzzled as a consumer. We went from having lots of choices in vehicles. To those being whittled down. And now being force fed the notion we'll subscribe to a vehicle, and won't own that freedom. I'm all for autonomous driving, don't get me wrong. I just want it on my own terms. I hope Tesla reverses course as of late. I think that's whats been the hardest - seeing what could have been enabled by their products to seeing that all being taken away and being offered yet another subscription. I get their path has changed, but I want to see Tesla change back to being the consumer focused company they once were. Let us have a choice - let's all enjoy that abundance they've shown us we can have.

I think we men pretend we're okay because we've been conditioned to believe that we're supposed to have everything figured out. We're expected to be strong, provide solutions, take responsibility and keep pushing, even when we're barely holding ourselves together. Sometimes, we don't talk because we don't want to look weak. Sometimes, we don't even know how to put what we're going through into words. And sometimes, we've learned to deal with things silently because we feel nobody would really understand. But the truth is, we're human too. We get tired, we overthink, we feel lonely, we need reassurance, we need someone to check up on us, and sometimes, we just need a safe space to let it all out without being judged. Shout-out to every guy silently fighting battles, showing up for others while struggling within. I hope life gets softer for us. We deserve love, care, reassurance and genuine support too. ❤️

I’ve had a few people tell me off recently for my use of language. They say, there is no such thing as severe or profound autism. There is only autism, and then co-occurring disabilities such as intellectual disabilities. Autism itself can’t be severe. I used to agree with this, but I’ve changed my mind. My mind has been changed by talking to many families of children who are (they would say) severely or profoundly autistic. They say that they clearly see in their children how autistic features like lack of early shared attention, or lack of social interest in babyhood, have led to their severe disabilities now. They say that their learning disabilities are part of their autism, not something separate to them. And I also reflected on my own experience as a diagnostician and clinician, which also clearly shows that what we define as autism can certainly vary in severity. Just think about repetitive behaviour and restricted interests - this can range from a passionate engagement with horses or trains, to severe self-injurious head-banging. Both could fit that diagnostic criteria, but one clearly has a more serious impact on a person, and is more disabling. It makes no sense to say they are of the same magnitude. So that’s why I will use severely or profoundly autistic when it is appropriate to do so. Because I have listened to the people most affected by this, and they have told me that it’s important to them that the language reflects their experience.

Do you still believe in God with everything going on?
