fairfarmhand Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Breastfeeding, properly done, should never hurt. Boys are easier to parent than girls. Once you have two kids, what's one or two more? It makes little difference in the amount of work involved. Anyone else? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise in Florida Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Stay home with your children, you can always go back to work. I am very glad I stayed home and home schooled them.

FaithManor Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Childbirth isn't very painful. If you use cloth diapers, your baby will never get a rash. Fasting cures all cancer. ( Sure. Fast until you starve, and by George that danged cancer will be gone.) Also ionized water cures cancer, essential oils cure cancer, flax seed cures cancer,...but my favorite was that diffusing essential oils will cause dad's lung to grow back!!! Sex is yucky. Nice girls do not wear short skirts. Girls can't do math. Girls do not like science. Oh there is a ton! I spent a few months in "fundie land" so there is a truckload of falsehoods I heard. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you just teach them to enjoy reading, they will educate themselves starting somewhere around middle school and you won't be the teacher anymore. If you do Lamaze, labor won't hurt much. You just breathe through it. We live in the greatest nation on earth. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm still pretty damned bitter (that's right..used the real swear word...that's how angry I am about it) about the hypnobabies people and their promise of a pain free birth. You can ask my midwife, I spent that whole labor just ANGRY that it hurt. The next birth, and the one before it, I handled the pain fine because it was just pain, not pain AND betrayal! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that feeling! The first time the epidural didn't take. During back labor. Pain free labor is a myth as far as any of mine went. Oh and "our hospital is a level 4 trauma hospital. Which means we can handle any emergency when it happens. You should have your baby in a hospital bc at any moment a delivery could need surgery and we can do that." I guess if you don't care about the whole anethestic part of having a cesarean, they did handle it.... I have a long list of medical lie examples. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Homeschooled siblings are like best friends. Provide a literature-rich home and read to your children and you will raise avid readers, guaranteed. If you lay the groundwork at elementary age, they will basically just homeschool themselves by 7th grade. Carbs are good, it's meat that's bad for you. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 "Your kids will grow up in the blink of an eye." Nope. The last ten years feels at least twice as long. Only other people's kids seem to grow up fast. "If you _________, your kids will behave." Nope, some kids are pretty much immune to any parenting technique. Most of what we've tried (with one kid) has been a waste of time that made us feel like we were doing something, when really, it might be mostly time that is making improvement. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooksandBoys Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Education is wasted on girls. Divorce is never acceptable. Your dad is a great man. Breastfeeding is natural, but mrn can't help but stumble if they see it, so never, ever, ever do that in public. If you would just ____, your kid would behave. If you pray, autism will go away. God made you perfect, but if you have largish b00ks and don't wear a second bra, you are responsible for the sin of all those men in your congregation when they stumble. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegP Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 If you get first time obedience with your kids from a young age, they will be godly, perfect kids and you will have no issues when they are teens. There is no such thing as ADHD-it is just parents who are lazy and won't make their kids toe the line. Depression is just a made up thing. You just need to pray more and read your Bible and you will feel better If your husband is abusive, you just need to try harder to submit and give him more TEA. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybee Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 "This will be a little uncomfortable." (Before a medical procedure. I was almost sobbing before it was over.) In regard to an obnoxious, disrespectful, or otherwise strong statement made by a young child: "He must have heard that at home!"
