• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

I'm so sorry to hear about that rude comment that was made to you!

If I'd been in your shoes, I would have said, "Yes, we do know what condoms are. We're thrilled at the chance to become parents, and we know that we're going to love this child with all that we have," and just smiled.

You can be kind and polite and still stick up for yourself :)

Hope your wife's pregnancy goes well!!

With us, because we both have Asperger's Syndrome, we're told that we should never have children, that we are being irresponsible for even considering it because we don't need more Autistic children running around...
Guess what people? A lot of people who brought us the technology to be on this forum are somewhere on the Autism spectrum. Even ADHD is considered to be on this spectrum now. It's not as much a disorder (except where the child is legitimately low functioning) as it is a different way of thinking.

At any rate for us it seems a moot point, as I've miscarried three times in the past year. I don't think we'll be having children, but people should learn how to keep their thoughts to themselves. It's not their business whether we have children or not.

Very true, thats the nature of some people though is to try to control others. Through manipulation, embarasment, scare tactics. It happens alot on this very forum.

I just wouldn't mind the comments if it didn't effect my girl. but it is, sarah cried about it last night, if you make my wife cry, it's a problem
I won't say what I would do/say if someone made my wife cry in front of me. Let's just say I can have a *vicious* sense of humor and leave it at that.
;)

As to what to do now, shower her with things she loves. Ice cream, chick flicks...whatever it takes bro. And keep it coming. It's all about her now.
:thumbsup:
