I am sorry I...Thank you for your comment Stephanie. I am sorry I came off as judgmental in this post. As you said, my intentions were not that way. My issue is not with putting the kids in front of the tv, but rather with mothers (or should I say parents in general) not being there. Unfortunately, I disagree with you; there are many, many parents out there who put their children behind personal ambition, schedules, social lives, etc. This post was simply about how I can only hope to be a parent who keeps perspective on what is most important in life. <br /><br />Thanks again,<br />AmyAmy Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968156329100712501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-64936812868847221402012-12-15T01:14:55.898-05:002012-12-15T01:14:55.898-05:00I'm sure you have good intentions but some of ...I'm sure you have good intentions but some of your posts are a little judgemental. I also do not know a mother who doesn't put their children first. Even the ones that put their kids in front of a TV when they are sick and tend to other things. As well as encouraging other women to not bad talk their husbands we should also encourage other women to build each other up and not judge like Jesus would do. I'm sorry if this offends you. I hope God will bless you with a child soon. I also hope when that day comes you will not put so much pressure on yourself to be the perfect Christian mother. I pray you will be more understanding to other mothers. I have three wonderful kids and I stay at home with them but I am no better of a mother than mothers that use daycare or have grandparents care for their children. I didn't have a mother that stayed home with me but she was a great mother still. <br /><br />I had the stomach flu last year with a newborn. It was terrible. I hope you get well soon. I'm sure your husband is a great caretaker. Mine was an absolute blessing when I was out for two weeks.<br /><br />Merry Christmas,<br /> Stephanie<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10249378650602336124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-69982249265887847562012-12-14T14:56:07.673-05:002012-12-14T14:56:07.673-05:00I don't know any mother who doesn't make h...I don't know any mother who doesn't make her children her first priority.<br /><br />I hope you feel better soon.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15105388721673285041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250272323659863098.post-67916843604535005022012-12-13T04:43:06.017-05:002012-12-13T04:43:06.017-05:00A sweet post!

...A sweet post! I hope you are feeling better now!<br /><br />It has been quite a transition for me going from 'mothered' to 'THE mum'.<br />For one, I have gotten tougher! And I have a sense of humour about it all now. So grateful for that.
