  • 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

Hehe. I'm TTC so I know how wanting a baby is but I love watching my nephew and getting to come home at 11pm and be kid free again until the next day at 2. Blue is right, it's SO MUCH different when it's all the time.

Enjoy being care free while you can because once you are someone's mummy there is no turning back.

Actually...I think mine still qualifies...:p

My church's youth minister has a son who by now is almost 2. He's quite a cute little fellow and I've found myself any times after a night service playing little games to try and get a giggle out of him. And it's moments like those that have I guess made me look forward to being a dad one day :)

Yep... I've been feeling it lately again. I think this time it stems from getting engaged. Like an 'ok, there's one more piece of the puzzle in place' sorta thing.

We're definitely not going to be trying for kids right away, and I know we won't be in a good position for raising kids right away, and so I am content to wait for a few years. But that doesn't stop me from wishful thinking!

I can totally relate. I think definitely now that I am with someone I want to spend the rest of my life with, it all sort of kicks in. I'm anxious to get married and have kids, but at the same time I know I'm young, so I remind myself I have plenty of time. I know for me when I get married, we'll probably spend a couple years just being a married couple before we try to have a baby. Sometimes I get anxious about having a baby, but like someone else said, I'm quickly reminded of the stretch marks and all that stuff and I think um maybe not just yet....hehe

what really stinks is when you get pregnant and then you have to wait 9 months...which is feeling like forever, plus the sickness and stuff that's been mentioned. of course the baby's worth it, just enjoy not having any responsiblities while you still can.
