    I have three children, 2 were induced and 1 was not, for me the one that was not induced was the harder labor.

    Co-Sleeping

    Well for the first few weeks you aren't supposed to be having sex anyway, after that, I don't know too many that have sex more then a couple of times a week, mostly for lack of energy. By the time baby is old enough to not drain all your energy during the day, there are ways to work around...

    Co-Sleeping

    Only my first slept through the night when she came home, she started to show signs of failure to thrive so I switched to formula, she started waking up to be fed right after that.

    Co-Sleeping

    For us, even when our daughter was 4 and sleeping with us, it was still our room, we decorated it the way we wanted, her toys were in the living room or in the bedroom with her sister. She just simply slept in there with us, she took naps in there in which case I was in the living room...

    Co-Sleeping

    This is actually quite uncommon, and 9 times out of 10 there are extenuating circumstances. Actually quite a lot is known. Cribs were not introduced until about 200 years ago, before that children always slept with their parents, and the US is one of the few countries where having baby in...

    Guilt!!!

    And my point is that you create selfish children by giving into their material wants, and temper tantrums, not my picking them up when they cry. A baby does not know it is bedtime and that they should be going to sleep, all they know is that all day long someone is there whenever they look up...

    Guilt!!!

    I didn't mis interpret anything, at 10 months old a baby is not trying to get its own way by crying. If this was a 2 or three year old then I would say maybe, but not at this young. I will concede that sometimes babies need to cry, just like sometimes I need to cry, however I don't want to sit...

    Guilt!!!

    And there is a saying we in the child rearing world have "I did all my best parenting before I had my own children." You can stick to your guns all you want, but until you have a child of your own that is dependant soley on you for Love, comfort, support, and discipline, then you really can't...

    [open] Independence, interdependence, and dependence~Let's talk about parenting goals

    I am not sure where we are LOL Children are dependant on adults until they are old enough to be dependant on themselves, but there is no magical age for this. Every person is different. I don't want my children to be so independant that they feel like they HAVE to move out on their own, I...

    Guilt!!!

    I find it very insulting to compare a child to a dog! I have a dog, I have had him since he was 7 weeks old, I didn't let him cry it out in his crate either, I sat with him until he settled down and went to sleep, and people are amazed with how well trained he is. Love is not something that...

    Guilt!!!

    Yup, definitely going to upset some people. This couldn't be further from the truth! When you are upset what do you do? Do you self settle? Or do you run to your mom? Or your family? Friends? God? Babies do not need to learn how to self settle, they need to know that somewhere is there...

    Guilt!!!

    Do you really want honest input? Do I think you are a bad mom? No, but you have obviously had some reservations about doing things this way, otherwise you wouldn't feel guilt. People can not make other people feel emotion, emotions are a choice you make. I never let my kids cry it out, I...

    Church related activity + alcohol use ??

    If there are people in your group battling alcoholism, then it absolutely should be banned, based on the scriptures that talk about not being a stumbling block, which I believe is Romans 14.

    Is this case grounds for divorce?

    Is this case grounds for divorce?

    [/B] Yes it was adulterous. Anytime a married person has sex with someone other then their spouse, it is adultery, it does not matter if the spouse was involved, it is still breaking a covenant. The marriage was still intact at that point. Like you said, men were putting there women out...

    Is this case grounds for divorce?

    No I am talking about adultery, Steven said [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] if having sex with someone divorced you from one person and married you to another then it would not be adultery it would simply be divorce.

    Is this case grounds for divorce?

    Adam and Eve were one before the fall, had they not sinned, then I would agree that having sex would be the only confirmation humans would need to proclaim that covenant. However, sex alone does not make a couple married, no where in the bible does it say that having sex makes you married, if...
