Parenting was never designed to be a burdensome chore or unpleasant task. It's a crucial responsibility to lovingly guide and tenderly develop young lives to follow after the way of wisdom and life. That ongoing role is filled with both challenges and moments of great pleasure and joy. Through every stage of development, we can trust and lean on our Heavenly Father to guide us to love, nurture and care for every need our children have. And to enjoy the years we have been given with them as a precious gift from Him.

Well, since we live in a fallen world, where everything we see, do, and touch is corrupted, and even those sweet little children are little sinners... I think it logically follows that pretty much EVERY TASK can be a burdensome task.

I mean, that doesn't mean we can't enjoy parenting.
We should enjoy it.
But I don't think we enjoy it because it's some kind of rosy walk in the park.
 
And I'll completely overlook the part about the OP's post being copied from something that's all over the internet.


It would be good to cite sources when copying other people's material.
 
So a man that's not married, and I'm assuming has no children, feels he is enough of an authority on both to try to teach groups of others on these subjects?
If you don't even have the capacity to interact normally with people on this site you haven't built up much respect that many are going to trust or listen to you.
And your above response is a perfect example. You're like a robot. I've yet to find one reason to respect or listen to a single thing you say.
 
I agree. Also one thing that I have learned in life, is that a partner can have not only a great impact on the family but also on oneself as well. Especially when it comes to how we corroperate in the household and our attitude. If one parent is negative and the other is not. No matter how hard you try, the household will always be impacted in a negative way. It's sad, but it is what it is. And as a single parent, it is so hard for me, about to pick up a 3 Rd job, trying to get into school, because it's free for me, due to being in the foster system and trying to be a mom all at once. But I can tell you this, once my negative spouse was out of the picture, we are bonding ,more than ever. I hope one day I can get my dream though. To be a stay home mommy. And travel and be a missionary in the u.s.
 
Wow! I'm sorry the way you think Sir. If that is how you think that those who are not married or have no child can not advise those who are married or have children, you are absolutely wrong. Learn from our LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE was not married but HE taught us all both young and old; both married and unmarried; both rich and poor etc.

My dear brother, rethink. The LORD does as HE Will.
HE can use anyone at any time and at any moment.
JESUS is LORD of all.

Hi sister, may the LORD make your dream come to reality in JESUS' NAME.
