I just don't get why it is not important for the father to be a part of their lives too. I mean we have people bashing single parents if they are a POC, but some fathers can work multiple jobs meaning they are spending many hours outside of the home and that is all ok. So which is it, you need fathers around or you don't? Or they only need to provide the money?
And what would happen, lurkingaw , if you had a difficult recovery and physically couldn't care for your other children? Would your church provide you months of money so your H could stay home and take care of the kids? What happens when life doesn't go the way you have planned?
That won't happen. She prays hard enough.
But see I believe in prayer and the power of it. But because we are human, God does not always answer our prayers in the way we think he will/should or according to our time plan. So then what?

Hopefully she has some sort of disability insurance.
I have a few friends who share similar beliefs to AW, and their answer always comes back to "God will provide" and "I'll pray." And well, thus far - he has for them.
Here's my main issue with AW's assertions (I elect to choose just one).
"Women need to be kind to themselves." Which only works in your specific situation. For a woman who, let's say, loses her husband but still must support her newborn, other children, and herself financially, she can want to be as kind to herself as possible. But if her employer won't accommodate enough time to physically recover from childbirth, what do you propose then?
Seriously, for someone so bent on touting a WWJD outlook, you're treating your fellow mothers pretty shitty. How do you think Jesus sees your outlook that "my taxes shouldn't be used to make others' hardships a bit easier?" Your whole myopic focus on your world and your world alone is hardly conducive to sharing Jesus' teachings of loving one another.
I'll wait for your reply.
Well, I wouldn't want you waiting. Lol
See, here's the difference between people like you/others in this thread and people like me. You all want to replace God's Kingdom with man's government, whereas I believe government/taxes are a poor substitute for the Kingdom of God. Whereas y'all feel people should be forced to give what a government mandates as merciful and loving, I feel that people should give freely as God compels them to within the system (the Church with a capital C) that God created. According to people like you, one can only be kind and loving if they support taxation. I think community is the answer.
But whatever, I am just a hick, so what do I know. I'm going to go back to my farm now and snuggle my newborn, then get in some good homeschool lessons for my children about what the Bible says about the government's role to prepare them for the world. Feel sorry for my husband that works so hard because he prefers having me here teaching them that.
Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Just a thought. The Bible does not stand against paying taxes. Your husband works so hard so you can teach them what? TO be a judgmental person? Ok. Honestly, I just feel sorry for the judgement you pass on all.
I believe fundies have problems with male OB's, too...and aren't AW's midwives female? And doing a job?
Yes, they are. Although one is in her sixties and her children are grown and the other is childless.
I think women have much to contribute to the working world. I, myself, will probably go back to work one day when my children are all out of the house if none of them need me for their oen childcare needs or to help with homeschooling. I'm not against women working, I just feel that small children are better served by having their mothers around. Not just through a maternity leave, but through their entire preschool years. There is plenty of time for a career after that. Just my opinion.
Just a fact---working women are STILL around for their children.

This right here. Fuck anyone who says I'm not around for my kids just because I work. Fuck them all.
She comes here to drop her turds off because gets some weird enjoyment out of it, probably is insecure in her choices, is likely miserable as fuck, and has no one to take her aggression out on in her real life because her family doesn't like to be around her and apparently her H works all the time. She wants validation for her life choices by sharing them with us and us telling her she's wrong since we are a group of godless heathens even if some of us are religious.
Don't give her what she wants. She's not worth your time or irritation.

Just stahp talking to her. When you argue with her, it basically means you are arguing with the comments section after a newspaper article. Would you normally argue with the maggots and hissing cockroaches in the comments section? Do they process facts and information? Do they concede when presented with logical appeal? Every time you engage, you give her an opportunity to say more horrible things.
She enjoys hurting you all. She enjoys making her points in the way that will hurt you the most. She enjoys saying things that she knows hit you in the places that are most tender or places nearest to your heart. She's sick.
Just stop. Stop letting her exist as a member of this board who gets the privilege of discussing with you. The less people say to her, the fewer opportunities she has to spread her diseased, poisonous malice here. I am literally pleading with everyone here to stop giving her chances to do this to others.
