Description : Who were the "Sons of God" mentioned in Genesis?

Last Answer : I am not a Biblical scholar, but the Nephilim refers to the Giants of that time. Goliath was probably a Nephilim. Sons of God may refer to angels, who did a lot of the heavy lifting back then. But, as I said, I am not sure.

Description : What is the best way to train my 4 year old boy to pee standing up?

Last Answer : answer:Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Let him watch you. Can you find a safe spot outdoors where you two can pee together? At the first snow fall, teach him how to pee artistically in the snow ... splash issue. His equally tall sons {my steps} stood, as did my son. They were not neat.)

Description : Care to share your labor and delivery stories?

Last Answer : Ow ow ow ow ow. Pitocin. Ow ow ow. Much passing out between contractions. Many many hours. The room was orange, I felt like I was giving birth in a Burger King. Epidural, sigh of relief, Grunting, yelling, pushing, then…Ta Da! KatawaGrey! Worth every minute. Cosmic.

Description : Is it okay for a father to kiss his son on the lips?

Last Answer : I think one allows the child to determine what's appropriate, up to a certain point. I have 12-year-old twins, a boy and a girl.

New clothes, money ... means some very tough decisions, it will never change. I feel for you, it's a very difficult situation.

Last Answer : I’ve read about this before. I think the article I read advised you to straight up tell him he’s gotta go. Something about tough love being the only way to rid yourself of him.
