Subject: Children to remain home til marriage?
Is it unreasonable to feel that our children should remain at home with their parents until God has revealed their spouses? Thank you for your input on this question.

Subject: Mother/Daughter Relationship Question
I am struggling with my relationship with my 9 year old daughter. It seems like lately (really for almost a year) we are constantly fighting. I am afraid I am being too overbearing and demanding too much from her. What really broke this issue wide open is that today she told me that she had thought about running away but couldn't figure out why she would want to do that???? I am so torn. My husband (her daddy) suspects she is just spoiled and wants her way all of the time. But if he's wrong and we continue trying to discipline her into a responsible individual when what she really is needed is to know that she is loved, I am afraid we will do irreparable damage to her emotionally. My parents were very distant as far as affection is concerned and were very controlling of every aspect of my life. I am afraid I am repeating the same pattern. The real kicker is that I have the opposite situation with my son (youngest child)--he and I get along and have a warm, affectionate relationship. For those who have raised daughters, please enlighten me! Do you remember these stages, any advice?? She will be 10 in June and I fear if we move into the teen years already at odds with each other, she will rebel. Stacy

Subject: Kindness in the Home
I need advice on how to encourage my children (ages 2,4,5,6) to be kind to one another! It grieves me to see their unkind attitudes and respnses toward each other. Thanks.

Subject: Should I encourage my daughters to go to college?
I have people telling me that it's wrong for me not to encourage college. I don't tell them that it's wrong but according to the scriptures that is not my duty. What is your views about what I'm doing?

Subject: Peer Pressure
We were involved in a Keepers Club before moving 2 yrs ago, and I have recently
decided that we need to go those extra miles and return to it, it was so good
for my daughter. My problem is, that since we have been in our new home, my
daughter has been in a church club that I was not part of--our keeper club was a
mother-daughter thing. Well, now we have seen a manifestation of increasing
willfullness, worldliness--she wants to play her christian cds over and over,
she is attracted to the fun things other are doing like dances, hair and dress
issues, etc.
We need to do an 'about face' here with her, and I'm just
wondering if you have any advice on how to begin. The Lord seemed to really open
our eyes to the extent of the problem this weekend and we need to act soon.
I
thought perhaps it would be helpful to others to see what you have to say on
this as well as me. Thanks so much, Mary
