Nobody is claiming otherwise, but this is no reason to call Tax-chick a "twit".
Oh, you should have heard what Bill called me when I changed his computer password while he was asleep ;-).
Well, don’t be mean like that and he won’t respond in kind! :-)
Reason # 683,527 why I love FR. Only here would that be considered the ultimate insult.
Crisis measure. He can have his free-access back when he finishes the 9th grade.
(Since his comments demonstrated that he’s been paying attention to his vocabulary lessons and reading the classic novels assigned, I praised his verbiage and didn’t assign extra chores.)
And even my 3-year-old knows it. “James hit me!” “Vlad called me a liberal!”
Sounds a little harsh, almost everyone finishes 9th grade the second time around! :-)
LOL!
Never heard of “quiverfull” until I watched the Duggar tv show.
I think it’s great to have as many children as one wants and can support. I have 4, wanted 10 or as many as I could have, but after 4 high risk births and 4 c-sections, that was enough for my body. If I ever happen to get pregnant again, fine, but certainly not trying to.
Yep. That’s the way I see it, too.
It’s common to assume that “quiverfull” means very large families, but some people simply don’t have many, or any, children, without any intervention by the parents. Accepting that - which doesn’t mean rejecting adoption - is part of having faith in God’s plans for us.
If one can have their own biological children, why adopt? There’s lots of hassles that go along with foster care and adoption.
If Welfare were taken out of the equation, I’d agree with you. Before Welfare, families/friends took care of their own. Or Charitable/religious organizations helped.
If a couple want to have 18 kids, that’s their business, as long as society isn’t responsible for paying for them.
God Bless you on your 5 kids. We have 4. I’m done, too old and after 4 high risk births, and limited finances, not actively trying to have any more. If by some chance, or the Grace of God, I was pregnant again, we’d welcome it all. I’m also legally a guardian for a niece and nephew should anything happen to their parents.
LOL! 4 were enough for me, and if the 3rd wasn’t as easy as she was, there may not have been a 4th ;)
It will happen sooner than you think.
There are a lot of hassles with being a homeless unwanted and unloved child too.
After my 4th, and it was the 5th pregnancy as the 3rd ended in a miscarriage, the recovery from that c-section was especially long. My husband and I decided that whenever either one of us started the “another one” then the other would say “let’s wait a while longer.” lol. However, we also both knew if we had a “surprise” then we’d embrace and think positively.
As the youngest got older, we never actively wanted another at the same time. If we were blessed with another now, wonderful. But we’re not trying.
As the World has constantly come against the Catholic church and her official absolutist doctrines (all based in Scripture) such as those against any and all birth control, divorce, “gay” anything, and abortion.
