  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

ijwts- i went to the engagement party of a former roommate of mine. She is 32 and it was very encouraging to see this dream of hers become a reality. She and I have had a rocky friendship and the last time we spoke she gave me a lecture about singleness. but today as i was leaving and telling her again how happy i was for her, she gave me some encouragement and a word of hope- which was very nice.

IJWTS that I have tried tough love, every bedtime routine I can think of, rewards, punishments, begging, pleading, threatening, and even resorted to Benadryl on a couple of desperate nights to no avail

IJWTA - have you considered talking to her pediatrician and requesting a sleep study/referral to a sleep specialist? The youngest mancub is difficult to get to sleep, as well - and that's what we're doing to see if we can get the problem under control.

:hug: for the tired Mommmy - I can soooooooo relate!
