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.
Db and SIL are spamming the whole clan with offers of free Pearl books . Apparently if I just read DP's latest marriage book, dh and I could have a "heavenly" marriage like db and sil now do. (we're fine, thanks) They bought a huge box of books and tapes which they would like to give free, to everyone they know.
Also the email informed us that the Pearls' teachings on child training, marriage, and Bible are undeniable Bible truths
If there's anything that makes me throw a its my peers insisting that we need to follow their gurus.
Lately if Michael Pearl says it, db believes it. How in the world did a sibling of mine get so mesmerized?
thanks, I feel better now. almost.
