So it has been at least a week now…Take a good look at your children. Are they fine?
Maybe you missed what I posted earlier this week.
They are but they aren’t… we have been focus on my hubby seeing he had surgery a week ago yesterday. So they were focusing on him and rightly so. Sometimes when nothing is going on they ask…but it hasn’t been the main focus cause of hubby surgery.
Hubby has been back to work…so they aren’t “worry” about their Dad so much. My daughter ever since seeing the pictures (the abortion pictures) refuses to sleep without the light on. She’s afraid that someone is going to come in the night. She said that she has dreams about being ‘cut-up’.
Now I know that my hubby surgery has been hard on her, after all the Dr. had to cut Daddy for surgery. So that hasn’t help. However, I also know that it just not Daddy’s surgery that gave her those fears. Her thing started with just ‘babies being “cut-up” now it has moved into a fear of her being cut up.
Again, I know that the abortion pictures aren’t totally to blame for the fear she’s going to be “cut-up”. However, they helped give her that fear, I know it’s the combo of the abortion pictures and my hubby surgery that is upsetting her.
Now, my Son still refuses to talk about or hear the word “blood”. If anyone said the word “blood” he tell us all very clearly: “Do not talk about blood it makes me sad.” So I’ve taken a good look at my kids I talk to my kids daily, they are still upset over what they saw, they have been upset about that, and they have been upset about Daddy’s surgery. It’s been a few stressful weeks for them.
Are they ever going to condone abortion?
Are you asking if my kids would approve of the abortion? The answer to that is I hope NOT!!! They are being raised with morals and are being taught the difference between right and wrong. My hubby and I are in the process of helping them inform their conscience. We hope to give them a good moral guideline with clear boundaries of this is right and this is wrong. We hope and pray that they will always choose the “right”.
Your children do not have to be ignorant.
God gave my Hubby and I these children. He trusted our children’s up bringing in our hands. We have a moral obligation to teach our children right and wrong. It is our duty to rise them in the Catholic Faith and to teach them what we as Catholic-Christians believe.
I firmly believe with that obligation comes the understanding that with some things it’s better to wait until they are older, or to teach them bits and pieces at their age level. I know that the Church agrees with that to a certain extent. I know this because in the Latin Rite first reconciliation and first communion are not until the age of reason: which here in the US is about 2nd-3rd grade.
If the Church believes that a child can’t understand or receive Christ before the age of reason, then why should a child BELOW the age of reason be exposed to abortion pictures and be taught the “horrors of abortion”? Further more, why should children be expose when the parent feels it’s NOT the “time” for them? Everything has its time and place.
Would of any of the parents here have a flow blown discussion with their 5 year old about sex. What is sex? What body parts are involved? Who is in involved? What’s an orgasm? What’s an ejection? What’s a period? The whole thing, condoms, ABC everything and anything about sex. Would any of the parents here have that talk with their 5 year old?
I have a friend who was upset because I told her little girl…
….close to her mother who is not seen as prey.
umm I would be upset too. Why? Well, you ended the little story “close to her, Mother”. Mom was there! It was Mom’s call not yours! I would be mad if my friend did that to my children too.
I’m grateful that in a situation like that my friend would come up to me and quietly say to me and to ME ONLY, you know there are coyotes in these woods and I’m just worried that your little one would be seen as prey…. I think it would be best if she stayed close to us. By telling me she is leaving it for me to deiced was best for my little one. With Mom being there you had no right, in my opinion, to say something like that: It was Mom’s call.
PS: If you say NO to those questions about talking to your 5 year-old about sex, then you may understand my point. You feel that talking about sex is not right for a 5 year-old. I feel that talking about abortion is not right for a 5 year-old.
