• 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

At times I envy people without children. Although I love my children and wouldn't want to be without them, (for very long, LOL), they can be quite a handful. I love being a wife and mother, but that isn't for everyone. I'm sorry others have made you feel strange.

I don't have children, but it hasn't been because I didn't want any. It seems that the Lord has other plans for me. Yes, at 39, I feel like my biological clock is more than just ticking...it's been ringing for a long time. I've always wanted to be a mother, but it just hasn't worked out that way...

Do you ever feel pressured to have kids?

Like your time clock is ticking fast?
Yes, I do now that I'm 30. The sound has moved from tick-tock tick-tock to DING DONG DING DONG. But timing is everything and it doesn't feel like now is the time.

My wife and I don't have any children together. She has two grown daughters from a previous marriage. My wife cannot have children due to having a hysterectomy...we did consider adopting a foster child once but it fell through.
