• 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.

I KWYM!! When our DH's are ill, we are there for them and they get to lay in bed all day! But when we are ill....it's still the same old day! Get up, get dressed, get the kids fed and dressed, do the dishes, make sure the kids are safe and have an activity to do, then start all over again. Yeah sure, the chores can wait, but the kids cannot wait! I'm sorry you're not feeling well sistah! May God bless you and hope you feel better soon!

I think we all agree that this is not a great part of being a SAHM. I wish I had a good answer. I haven't figured out one yet. I wish our city was big enough to have a nanny temping service. I know you can find help temporarily in big cities....not here....but it also costs a fortune. This past week I was sick enough I would have splurged on someone to take the kids to school, activities and make some meals. I needed a clone really really bad.

A clone would be nice!
We looked into a nanny...but it wasn't for us.
At least not last year...Jake still had stranger anxiety and he is just now getting over separation anxiety.
So...we may try again soon.
That, my friends, would be Heaven.
But yes, it is rather pricey. I don't want a live-in nanny though...just one that will take the kids here and there, maybe get them lunch, etc while i do my chores and go shopping for groceries.
Or on a grown-up play date!
