It is so wonderful to be transparent with your kids and let them see how "human" you are rather than some super hero who does no wrong. <br />So many people think that they can get away with telling their kids one thing and then doing another...expecting the kids not to notice. ya, right!!<br />In order to do what is right for your kids you really cannot have a shed of pride in preserving how "good" you are...showing them the real you and how you struggle and seek the Lord and gain victories only through HIM and not through my own wisdom. <br />thanks for the post!Karileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839857538549783798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1802474194961847860.post-48815011538286245392011-03-11T22:41:38.514-08:002011-03-11T22:41:38.514-08:00You know, there is a stream-of-consciousness to yo...You know, there is a stream-of-consciousness to your post that is really honest, and I would not edit it. You write like many people think, and I find it engaging. This post was HUGE to me. My parents raised me according to whatever the last sermon was that talked about child-raising. When the pastor was pissed because my generation was rebellious, you can bet I got punished that week. When the pastor had the congregation watch GROWING KIDS GOD'S WAY, you can bet we were subject to those patronizing experiments. I love and respect my parents. Especially as I see what kind of erratic teaching they were under when I was younger. However, all of the truncated fundie mindset that speaks so candidly in Scripturese when it comes to something as complex as marriage or childrearing is in egregious error. I went to Hobby Lobby today to buy a picture frame for a charcoal drawing of a student of mine. When I got to the counter to checkout. I saw that they had "Scripture mints" behind the counter. At that moment, I realized that the elevator music being played in the store was some version of a hymn. I cannot tell you how happy I was to get out of there and to be around a sane but realistic world.
