Unprepared for Parenting (Ezzos, Pearls, Etc.) *Public*Support and information for those affected by the Ezzos, the Pearls, and other punitive and adversarial methods of child-rearing. A public forum. Before posting here, please read this sticky and keep guideline 23 in mind:
23. No posts harshly dissecting parenting moments of others since we desire to humbly cultivate a heart attitude of grace and not judgment towards other mamas. We all struggle at times as parents and have much to learn, and GCM's focus is to provide tools and information for each of us to parent more effectively. Posts voicing some frustration regarding choices made by others can be okay, but it needs to be within the overall context of seeking understanding or ideas for better responses in the future.
Wonder what they think of children whose parents are unbelievers? (That would have been me.)
Based on the Gothard view of adoption - you're sunk. It's one of the reasons I feel sick when certain mothers with lots of children(lets say 19, just for the heck of it) sweetly proclaim that 'to say there are too many children is like saying there are too many flowers' - except my son would be viewed as a weed and the sin he 'inheritiated from his father' would need to be guarded against. Of course, they're wrong so you and my little guy are good
