People drag their sick kids out all the time. It's not just JW's who insist on sitting thru whole conventions with sick kids or dragging kids with colds to the meetings. Take a good look around then next time you are at the mall. At least once a day I get a mom with a sick kid shopping in the store because the kid was too sick to go to school but if Mom has to take the day off she might as well get some shopping done.
Common sense is not common.
If you want to continue with the closemined judgemental thought processes of a well indoctrinated JW, go ahead, but try to not spew your misery on everyone else.

Femine supplies advice help needed
by jws ini'm divorced and i have a daughter who is nearly 11. last year she watched a video in school covering upcoming body changes (which she already knew about).

I was 11 when I got my first period. I wish someone had put some supplies in the bathroom for me! Get the good pads, not the generic, and some extra panties. If you are comfortable enough, and she's ok with it, talk about how"leaks" and "overflowing" will happen and that it's ok. Some thing discreet to tuck into her back pack is a great idea!
Vivid memory,,,, I can remember my mom telling me that the pain would be terrible. I rarely get cramps, even to this day. I get a terrible backache and really bad headaches. I remember my mom and sister using their periods as an excuse to act like total bitches and blame it on PMS. It is a natural function that should be treated as such.
And to all the ladies reading this thread, have you heard of a Diva cup? I've been using one for about 5 years and it's awesome. if you can use a diaphram you can use a Diva cup.

She might have wanted to take her sick child home but who ever was driving probably said they wanted to stay. I've been stuck like that before. And I've had kids who seemed perfectly fine 2 hours before suddenly start puking. We all need to stop judging those who are still in for their actions when we don't have the whole story.
She's very likely a great mom stuck in a back situation with little to no help.

One very cold winter in Calgary I wore jogging pants under my ankle length skirt. I had the pants tucked into my tall boots so no one could tell I was wearing them. In the process of helping get a car out of a snowbank, during service with a couple of older brothers in the car group, I slipped and fell. My father was told to tell me that my attire was inappropriate and not to wear pants again. My Dad thanked them and told me to wear what I needed to stay warm and next time let the brothers dig the cars out.
Moral of the story, the brothers can wear what ever they need to stay warm, but sisters need to literally freeze their bumms off.
Pioneering in Calgary was not fun.

My mom used to pick people up for the meeting pretty regularly. I never remember her complaining about it and kind of enjoyed it I think. When my dad started studying, we stopped picking people up until dad got asked by a brother if he would mind and turned out he loved doing it too. We always had nice cars and a little extra gas was not a hard ship for our family. We never picked up families because our car was already pretty full with us to begin with (Dad hates little kids anyway)
My best memory is this one. We were getting ready to move across the country and the cars had been sent ahead so we were using a rental minivan. At the last minute we got a frantic call from another brother, his car had broken down and he was supposed to pick up an older sister, could we help out. No problem, off we headed and found the older sister standing in front of her assisted living apartment with her crutches. She had bad hips and a had a very hard time moving. So we are all standing on the curb, looking from the sister to the van and wondering how on earth we are going to get her up into it. My dad, a very handsome man, blushes beet red and says to the sister "well, there is only one thing to do" bends down and wraps his arms around her torso and sets her gently on the front seat. The sister, grinning broadly, says some thing along the lines of that was the best thing to happen to her in a long time and we head to the kingdom hall.
One thing drilled into me over the years was to at least offer gas money. Some people wouldn't take it no matter what so I used to drop it into the cup holder or into the service bag. Even now, if someone drives me somewhere, I try to buy them a drink or something in appreciation.

Strollers at DC
by InquiryMan inif i understand it correctly, strollers are not allowed at us conventions.. in sweden, a letter was written to the congregation, introducing this new rule.
however, quite a few families wrote letters to the society,.
asking if they wanted families with children to attend the assemblies or not... it was stated that they would not go unless strollers were allowed.. the society pulled back, allowing strollers in designated areas.. in norway, they didn t even bother to introduce the rule in the first place... .

Pushing a baby anywhere is dangerous. Cars running red lights, stupid people at the mall, and a fall down a flight of stairs (neighbours child not mine)
Carrying a baby is dangerous too. How many parents have slipped while carrying a child and fallen?
Everything has risks, you weight the risks and make a choice.
