"The husband as breadwinner, the wife as homemaker and mother
natural childbirth
home schooling
Don't buy into the line that these things were enough to cause the problems Andrea Yates had. I have lived like this for 25 years and know lots of other happy, well-adjusted families who do also."
(And other comments along those lines.)
Come on. Use your brains for heaven's sakes.
You two (and a few others) are making the same mistake the liberals want to in throwing all homeschooling, stay-at-home moms into the same category as the Yates' style.
If not, and you really are living like she did, then you need help. Serious help.
My wife and I are born-again Christians. She originally opted for natural childbirth, not because she thought she had to endure pain because the Bible says so, but she thought it would be be more fulfilling. I just grinned (nauseaously.....I'm a pain wuss) and said, "Ok, hon.....". Well, after a few good contractions she motioned to me and the doc. "Bring the painkillers......NOW PLEASE." Once again, I said, "Ok, hon."
I was not the one trying to pass a watermellon through a hole the size of a lemon. If she wanted painkillers, she was getting them. I do not believe God intended my wife to suffer.
Yates is a control freak. Now he has nothing left to control. Sadly, I bet he'll find some new sucker in a few years.
