yes that day was so blessed for me, i ...elizabeth,<br /><br />yes that day was so blessed for me, i still actually feel the good vibes :D<br /><br />children know SO much more than we ever could give them credit for...this is why it's best to just suck it up and DO IT! have "the talk". for me, it was just 1000% easier when i asked God for guidance and a voice to talk to my daughter. since my husband is in prison, he couldn't have the talk with her face to face *although he is EXCELLENT with this sort of thing*. i was actually trying to wait until HE got out so HE could talk to her about sex and life and other things but...obviously my daughter, the talk and God had different plans.<br /><br />we as parents HAVE to prepare our children with the truth about this world or they will make many needless mistakes and falls along the way!<br /><br />myowne!<br /><br />i say the best way to do is like i did *of course im partial to my own advice lmao* and be honest to God about your nerves and fears with raising your babies, and wait for His response. trust me He won't let you go without the help you need to make it through rearing them properly.<br /><br />i was in my living room praying and crying over this topic--a mother wants the best for her children, and sometimes with the way this world is moving i am afraid for my girls. but then i remember that fear is not of God yanno and i trudge forward.<br /><br />but like i said...He is helping me with the girls SO much, by far the BEST and most VALUABLE asset i have is God. i believe that's true for any parent!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301616792044700265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225955619292191979.post-80879688249678851542009-09-28T08:20:28.341-04:002009-09-28T08:20:28.341-04:00This was such a great post.
I am currently raisin...This was such a great post.<br /><br />I am currently raising my 16-year-old niece and will have temporary custody of her little sisters in a week or so. It has not been easy conveying to her the truths she needs for a successful life, but it has been very refreshing to be able to tell her the truth. But as you did with your daughter so I do with mine (biologically or not). Thank you for offering this for others to think about - particularly me as I jump feet first with no life jacket into the deep end of raising children. By the way, I had no children before these precious ones entered my home...so being a parent is ALL new to me.Myownehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519291684815749814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225955619292191979.post-68249916229224597212009-09-28T01:38:00.858-04:002009-09-28T01:38:00.858-04:00It sounds like you had a very blessed day. This is...It sounds like you had a very blessed day. This is why I loved the teenage years -- the opportunities for conversations that go into human values and the big questions of life.<br /><br />As for the sex question, I seemed to have waited too long with my older son. When he was eight, he told me that I had to find another library for him to spend his after-school time at because he had read all the books in the local public library. Only then did I take a look at ALL the sections, and sure enough, there was an adult section. I pointed out this section to him, pulling out The Joy of Sex, and asked him if he had read all those books. When he said he had, I told him, "Well, let me know when you are ready to talk about technique -- since you probably know more than I do know!" We have laughed about that a lot since. Sheesh! Who would have thought an 8-year-old would have delved into THOSE books!Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.com
