Six Ways Parents Destroy...
Blessings
If I had my life to live over again, knowing all that I know now, I would do many things differently; but having lived in the blessings of God, I cannot imagine being more blessed or having any more joy and satisfaction out of life.
(Un)Common Law
Parents write in with their questions regarding teaching their kids to share, while still respecting their rights to personal property.

What is the difference between serving and enabling? Can a wife honor her husband and be a good help meet without enabling poor behavior?

Mama, do you enjoy being in a church service? Implement sitting practice and you’ll never miss another one!

But his mama makes sure that we love each other just as dearly as the love we share with the other children. She uses a beautiful technique that I call Love Grooming.
Rescued Raptor
Ever since I was a young girl, I wanted a raptor (bird of prey) for a pet. I just never thought it would be a vulture. Yep, you heard me right. I have a pet vulture.
Humility Sought is Humility Lost
The lack of humility is an evil; but the presence of humility is not a virtue.
Instilling Hope
There are no expectations in life that are worth taking away a child’s hope. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are foolish endeavors compared to eternal joys, thanksgiving, hope, and charity.
Nagging Wives and Hurtful Husbands
“I struggle with being a nagging wife. I have been married seven years, and it seems we fight a lot more than we used to. how can I stop nagging?”
