If you know it to be true then it doesn't matter what he thinks. Better to pass on something you know that is absolutely true than to pass on beliefs never examined.
There are many unexplained things in this life. Ask why he would automatically dismiss something he never examined with an open mind. Anything and everything is possible in this life. He has a right to not believe in the spirit world but if he respects you than he will allow you to have your own beliefs about it.
If it's real to you and you feel your daughters have been blessed with it then by all means talk to them about it and answer their questions. It doesn't sound like you're pushing this on them so I wouldn't worry about anyone's reaction. People pass on far worse things to their children: silly beliefs, religion, impossible to achieve ideals, etc.
Good luck:))

Ooohh grrr.
I practice magic, as does my best friend. (Chaos mages/occultists, for the record.) My boyfriend is a former Catholic, now mostly Taoist, and though he doesn't necessarily want to know what I'm up to, he knows what I'm doing and is fine with it.
My best friend's boyfriend is a different story. He ridicules the whole thing with no basis whatsoever (his usual explanation is "because it's stupid"), makes rude remarks if he sees a book or a deck of Tarot cards lying around, and is generally a big annoying git about the whole thing. It's to the point where my friend is considering breaking up with him...just due to lack of respect.
Hopefully, your boyfriend is a little more reasonable than my friend's. Explain to him that these are your beliefs that you want to pass on to your children--are they his/he's raising them as well? If so, he does have some say; if not, he should keep his nose out of it. One way or the other, he's being pretty disrespectful to you about it, and hopefully he'll be reasonable enough to work something out.

Does he beleive in anything? Most people carry some belief that they can not prove or at least can not see. Some people beleive in a god but can not produce a physical product, does this make them daft?
I think that maybe this guy is not right for you... would you date a person you think is right wacked? probably not. This is your life, and you have your beliefs and it is definately not wrong to share these with your children!!! People baptise their offspring before they can speak! If anything, it will teach them tolerance since it is something you are discussing with them and if they have this ability, at least they will find some peace and not think themselves daft. I would guess that mental illness is not an issue.

I have the same problem.
I think it's okay to be truthful about what you know with your children. If he gets mad, then tell him "I guess thats one thing we can't ever talk about, but you can't stop me from believeing in it".
I have believed in it for a long time. I think that anyone who isn't open to at least hearing about it. I have two spirits in my home. A male, and a female. We haven't figured out who the lady is, but the man is my recently deceased husband who commited suicide. I am doing a cleansing here soon, but only for the evil spirit who seems to be the woman. She has kept me up for nights, and my husband who is here on good terms stays to try and help fend off the evil woman. He is the protector of my kids, who were his world when he was living.
I am not razy or cock-eyed...I just know the truth of it.
Good luck hun..

i think your beliefs are your beliefs..i too am very much into the spirit world...love reading about it and all that. it seems that the ladies on my side of the family also have a sixth sense in some way. my hubby is very afraid if it. if i tell him about dreams or strange things happening to me..he gets very freaked and wants me to shut up. my kids are only 2 and 6 so they really dont know much about it yet. i think what your doing is fine and just go with it..without ever pushing ppl into it to much including children. let them come to you without provoking the thought in there heads first.

If your children have this gift then you are the one who should comfort them and teach them about spirits. If your boyfriend thinks you are wacked, then why would he think any different with the children?
He is intitled to his belief and opinion, but just because he does not see or experience spirits does not mean they do not exist.

Was in a hotel room the other night and kept hearing people having sex from the other side. Man I wanted to have some contact with them!

no actually my mother taught me a lot of the same sort of things as a child and they are gifts, but i grew up thinking they were wicked doings, because i thought the bible said either it is a sin are he forbid us to comunicate with the dead
that tells us, it can be done ,but is it right.

His opinion is his opinion. You have yours and if this is happening to your daughters then I think it is best to educate them and yourself as best you can.If it is in your family there is no way you can hide from it so best to embrace it all together.
