I have a very comfortable desk chair that I got at our local office supply store. Why don't you take your son along & go buy a new chair or two? Let him pick it out, too, so he can't complain about it later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-74698013407224123102011-03-27T02:46:26.742-07:002011-03-27T02:46:26.742-07:00Really enjoyed this.

I pray though that the courts also address similar cases where the man is disable and being denied access. Their cases never get media attention. I live in a nursing home and have seen a number of cases where disable fathers are not allowed to see their children by mothers who fell it is unhealthy, with the agreement of the courts.<br /><br />However,why is there no equal outrage over the 40% of annual cases where mothers deny perfectly healthy fathers access to their children?<br />http://divpat.org/VisitationRights-Denial-Of-Access-Stats<br />http://dads-house.org/AccessRightsPetitionGeorge MCCaslandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15007479301944534709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1556371561007953336.post-41975698757274797612011-03-26T15:40:26.669-07:002011-03-26T15:40:26.669-07:00My son has a vein in his neck that, when he sees p...My son has a vein in his neck that, when he sees people without a permit nor need, park in the handicapped spot, begins to pulsate.<br />I would take the issue of the Dorn case even further though: the woman nearly dies giving birth to their children and he has the gall to think that they will be traumatized by their mother? That's a trauma worth being proud of.<br /><br />About "normal" as you use it I would say, society will always have "normal" as average and someone in a wheelchair is not average he is an exception, just saying.<br /><br />Finally, while I am certain you are right about your own experiences, for example the woman telling her son to watch out because you were perceived as out of control, you must realize that there are instances when the exact same thing will be said but the meaning is just the opposite, for the child to watch out so as not to get in your way, at least that's been my experience.<br /><br />All the Best,<br />EricEric Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02471331868560587898noreply@blogger.com
