Parenting

We “helicopter” over our kids’ wardrobes, nutrition, sleep schedules, hygiene, science fair projects and then pride ourselves on how “hands off” we are on social issues.

"In households where only the mother went to services every week, a minuscule 2-3 percent of children grew up to do the same. In households where both father and mother attended, that number jumped to 33 percent of their children, with a further 41 percent coming to church irregularly."

I have gone through every mother’s worst fear. I feel led to write this to all you Mamas because I have a longing to look each of you in the eyes and tell you this:

"Then, it hit me… Holy crap. It’s an advertisement to pedophiles out there to join together and make a network."

“My mom was 15 while pregnant with me, she had me at 16. My dad was 17... My parents were judged a lot during this time but stayed strong together."

“I would have never in a million years imagined her to get a burn so severe from sunscreen.”

"A boy at school punched my daughter in the face. HARD. And yes, I have pictures..."

“We got a ton of tweets back from people saying ‘I never thought about that,’ and that’s why we do it.”
