  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    My little girl is scared of death...

    My daughter also started doing this not too long ago although she is only four. Things are now just starting to turn around after weeks of talks with her about it. I just keep reassuring her that death is not something to be scared of. She understands in a child like way that when we die we...

    Research for Child Abuse

    They should inclued it with the pre-birth classes. As far as having every expecting person attend, I don't think so. What about their second and third child? Would they have to attend each time? I think it is a good idea but manditory courses don't usually fly.

    Do you parent your children like your parents did?

    Is how your raise your children like what your parents were like with you? Or do you take a different approach? Or is it a mixure of the two? I have been finding it almost scary at times how similar I raise my daughter compared to how my father raised me. Little querky things that he use...

    Easter dinner

    I know how you feel with this one. I use to really enjoy Christmas until the focus on presents became almost the most important thing. Christmas with my family was not as enjoyable as it once use to be. For many years I let it make me almost a scrouge when Christmas came around. Then my...

    My kid is cuter than your kid...

    LOL Good topic. Of course my daughter is the cutest most beautiful thing my eyes have ever been blessed to see. Even if she had 3 eyes, 6 arms and a ear on her forehead I would still think that. She is a wonderful gift from God. That is how I think about her. IMHO I think that every...

    My Daughter told her very first joke yesterday...

    LOL My daughter has been trying to tell some knock-knock jokes but they don't make any sense. We still laugh partly because it is funny how she thinks. It is funny to watch her try and put them together. I love young childrens sense of humor. If they can't make you laught then nothing will.

    New and need advice...

    That is great that you are going back to church! Bring God back in to the picture more is a great thing. The fact that you and your husband are having problems and are seperating will play a huge role in your childrens lives. The ones who struggle with seperation and divorce the most are...

    colic

    Our daughter really wasn't colicy but she played the part at times it seemed. We used gripe (grape maybe???) water I believe it is called and it helped a lot for us. I think that it was her tummy and it helped settle her.

    Struggling with PPD and trying to be a mother

    Wow... you have said some of the exact things my wife has said. My wife has struggled with PPD on and off over the past 5 years with all the miscarriages and it hits her very hard. Quiet frankly she scares me when she hits some of the lows. I am afraid of what she might do to our daughter...

    My boy will go to school soon

    Our daughter will start school in the fall. I know that I will be crying when I drop her off for her first day. She is so excited about school. Time flies so fast. But for me even when she goes off to university she will still be my baby girl.

    Toddler bed trouble...

    What you are experiencing sounds almost the same as we went through with our daughter. Even now she has 101 delay tactics for going to bed. There are a few things that we have found that have worked very well. First start putting her down to bed earlier. Our daughter likes to have a bit...
