I was not offended most of the time. One sister though, she watched Teryn during the day..3 days a week...., I didn't like it when she would try to take Teryn. My baby would be perfectly content but this sister 'missed' my baby. Sometimes I just said no, that I was fine. Sometimes, she would seem Teryn was 'our' baby.

I wouldn't have liked that either. Actually, I don't think I would have liked any of the "sisters" trying to take my baby away even if they were fussy. What baby wouldn't be fussy at a meeting?

Children at the meetings...

i've noticed quite a few "meetings" threads lately and thought i would add another one.

i remember when i was young, 8-12 years old, my mother would see a sister take her baby or children to the back.

my mom would get up and go back there with her.

The problem I had was that I would get pulled aside and "counseled" by the elders that my children should remain with me at my seat during the meetings.

I sort of remember talks about children sitting with their parents. Not so much as babies but older children. I used to like to have my friends sit with me at the meetings until talks started coming out about it.

Scarily enough, one of the people who was assigned to help is a man I suspect is a pedophile (his own grandaughter said that he had abused her).

It doesn't seem appropriate for them to appoint any brother to help with the children.....I certainly wouldn't have handed my child over to them....(if I had one).

I remember when I was young, 8-12 years old, my mother would see a sister take her baby or children to the back. My mom would get up and go back there with her. Usually, 10-15 min. later my mother would come back to our seats carrying the other sister's baby. A lot of times the baby would sit on my mom's lap and not act up for the rest of the session....(I think this had to do with me sitting right next to her and playing with the baby). I had seen other sisters do this, also.......I have to wonder now, though, how many sisters may have been offended by my mother.

Did anyone else ever do this?
