When I was 30 and my fourth was a baby, I became very sick and was sick for many years. I was forced to be home every day all day long. I mothered my children full time. I was always available for them. God taught me many valuable lessons through my sufferings. Children need and want full-time mothers. Children being raised by full-time mothers are far more secure and emotional stable than those who are not. Learn to suffer in…
There is nothing wrong with parents who come to the conviction that their daughters should only wear modest dresses in obedience to God, have their children not date but have chaperones while courting in order to keep their children sexually pure for marriage, not watch TV nor listen to secular music since most of it is debauchery and not dwelling on the good and the pure, and homeschool their children to keep them out of the public schools that is…
