  growing up as a jw kid i dreaded going to the meetings.

  as a 3 yr old child i was expected to sit quietly in my seat.

  as quite an active child myself this was impossible and lead to be taken "downstairs" on several occasions each meeting (you all know what happens "downstairs").

  my daughter told my mom that she has fun at church. And my mom told my daughter that that was not the point of church, to have fun and that she shouldn't be having fun at church. Mom related to me the conversation and for some reason thought I would agree with what she had told my daughter.

  My answer to my mother was "Why shouldn't she have fun at church?" I want my children to enjoy worship and not look on it as a boring chore.

  Mom was not happy with my reply and moved the conversation to another topic.

  Which got me to thinking...Does my mother enjoy going to the hall? Is it fun for her or just something to be endured to obtain everlasting life? And if it's all that, will everlasting life as a jehovah's witness be anymore enjoyable?

  (don't even think I believe in the nonsense)

  At the church me and my kids go to they have a room for babies who aren't walking yet, a room for babies that are walking, a room for toddlers, a room for preschoolers, a room for kindergardeners, a room for 1-2 grades, etc...on up to a bigger room for teenagers.

  My kids always enjoy going to church. My 4 year old loves it so much he will ask me at least 4-5 times a day if we are going to church tomorrow. In the room he goes to they do crafts (with a biblical theme), sing songs (about God and Jesus), and watch videos (usually Veggie Tales). He loves that it's his room and he gets to hang out with other kids his age. My only problem is he usually throws a fit when we have to leave. Never saw any kid doing that at a hall. lol

  I like this setup better. The kids have fun and learn stuff at their level and I get to enjoy the sermon with the other adults in peace.

  Potty Tales...

  i worked when i had my first two kids and my babysitter pottytrained them.

  with my third child, shane, i was not working and the pottytraining was down to me, which i dreaded and had a hard time being consistant with his pottytraining routine.. it got pretty bad, with shane pooping on himself and at one point getting poop on the carpet in his room.

  around this time i was also pregnant with my fourth child and my mother decided that she would take the kids for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy.. mom and dad decided that they would get shane pottytrained.

  hi fellow posters!

  in connection with a recent post by blondie, i wondered what everyone's blood type was on the forum.

  You're so right Brenda. That's what I got out of it, that all Shane wants to do is please his Mommie, even when he's being naughty. And he really responded to the praise I gave him after he did his business.

  Now if I could only figure out how to apply this to my older two (10 year old son and 7 year old girl). lol

  It got pretty bad, with Shane pooping on himself and at one point getting poop on the carpet in his room. Around this time I was also pregnant with my fourth child and my mother decided that she would take the kids for the last 6 weeks of my pregnancy.

  Mom and Dad decided that they would get Shane pottytrained. And they did this by using corpral punishment. Anytime Shane pooped or peepeed on himself he would get a whoopin (spanking). Yes I should have spoke up (I was slightly deranged) and told them not to whoop Shane, but I didn't, with the result being that the first time Shane pooped on himself, after he got back from from my parents, he started to cry and got very upset because he thought I was going to whoop him.

  Well I was a little upset but it was because my little boy was tramatized and it might make the potty training even worst and I told him that I would never hit him just because he pooped on himself, we weren't going to do that....ever.

  So after he pooped on himself, I think the fourth time after he got back, in pure desperation I told Shane that I was upset that he pooped on himself and that if he could just get his poop in the potty it would make Mommie very happy.

  And wonder upon wonders, my little boy tells me he has to poop, we run to the bathroom, he poops and looks up at me and says "I made Mommie happy!"

  This happened a year ago and my little boy Shane still tells me when he has to poop and he always tell me "I made Mommie happy".

  i have personally been reading a lot more of the "serious" posts lately and thought it would be good for me (and hopefully others) to share a bit of humour.

  i will start by telling a funny little story about what my six year-old daughter said this weekend:.

  i played touch football this fall on weekends.

  If you feel you must answer, put on a robe, mess up your hair, rub on some vaporub, grab and kleenex. Make them stand out on the stoop and just hack away for about 10 seconds and say it's not a good time.

  oh youre so good Blondie that is classic! lol
