My daughter, I love her so much. It's as if I can't ever show her enough love. I am an attached parent. It's just a very gentle parenting style. Everyone said that I would spoil her and she needs to cry it out at night time in order to sleep through the night... I wonder if letting your child cry it out is what makes them afraid of the dark when they get a little older. Anyways, I just can't do it. I will never parent there way. I can't ever do what was done to me...

I don't really let her cry a lot at all and I'm told that babies are "supposed to cry". Just, nobody respects the way I parent. I do not believe in spoiling, but I do believe in making sure your child has absolute trust that you are always going to be there no matter what to comfort, protect, nurture, and love them. This is simply the way I do things.

My daughter for the most part sleeps through the night. She's is an incredibly happy baby with a great personality. However, everything is attributed to me being lucky cause I have a "mirable baby" evidently despite the way I parent...

Anyways, do you parent differently then your JW parents do in general? Do they say they approve/disapprove? How has it worked out for you?

Total Strangers...would you believe and do whatever they tell you?

by oompa in

that is what i did the first 45 years of my life.

because i was born in...fourth generation...i really did not have much of a choice since i tried to be a good son....my doubts started at 19, but i had been bad enough in high school that i became a pioneer for a year and a half as a form of penance to my parents....soon thereafter, wife and kids and job became a big distraction....and life just happened as it does to must born in dubs........ now that i am out i realize that all of what i was and did and spewed at doors....was actually accepted by me from total strangers!!

!.......that i had never even met!!!

Oompa, I disagree to some extent... I mean, isn't part of it that you trusted your parents judgement? For me, it wasn't so much that I trusted the governing body, but I trusted my parents... Idk, just my opinion...

as far as god/satan type a thing.... a. i don't think i believe the bible is from god.. b. ying/yang type a thing.

god and satan are equal in power and god owns heaven and satan owns earth.

god can't do anything about suffering, etc because they are equal in power.. c. we go to heaven after we die.. see?
