@Junior bro just tell your wife not to bring the baby into bed with you. Tell her to settle the baby back into their crib. Your wife can go without sleep at night because she can nap during the day when the baby naps. You need your sleep.
Only experience I have is my 3 younger siblings, I remember helping my mom and the best way to re settle them was to stay with them whilst they are in the crib. Don't take them out just wait and usually with in 20 mins they would have cried themselves to exhaustion and be back asleep.

I mean, cocaine is bad, but the horror of meth addiction cannot be overstated.
Agreed praise be to God I overcame my drug addiction but the meth addicts when I was in rehab and the one's I knew from street were in the worse states.
IMO cannabis shouldn't be legal in USA

@Junior The only real advice I can give you is don't make her feel like you have a huge part of your life that you love and enjoy but she can't be a part of it. You shouldn't be leading a separate part of your life without your wife.

We're only 20 lol. Did you ever resolve your disagreements about her going to church ?
Well we were 17 but I wasn't a mature 17 year old. No even when I didn't care anymore that she went to church I still made her feel bad about it, just so she would have the mindset of making it up to me and she would never stay too long at church. Looking back now it was foolish, but I was young and petty.

Sorry man that's the impression I got
We are no longer married but I put it down to the fact we got married far too young, rather than our disagreements about her going to church

I was arrested on a first date once when I was 16 due to mistaken identity 😂Luckily, it didn't put her off.

Did it make you dislike the church even more, because you felt like the church was taking her away from you ?
Yeah for sure, I used to resent her going to church. I didn't like it that she had friends there and it felt like she had a big part of her life that she loved and I wasn't involved in it. It made me jealous, I suggest you invite your wife to go with you even if she says no, at least she will feel welcomed into that part of your life.

And that’s good. I was rash in my comments before, but you have to see that the way things are being run is not right
It can be hard sometimes I remember when I was married and it took us a while to be on the same page. Although, I had the reverse to @Junior because my wife was really faithful member and I was inactive. Sometimes when she attended church I did feel that she chose church over me.

I'm an LDS Christian lady married to a Baptist/Evangelical dude. My Baptist mother-in-law actually lives in the Fort Worth area.
Does she go to Prestenwood? It is like a mega church with over 60000 members. I had a girlfriend who moved to Dallas Fort Worth to go work there

Yeah, I'm a football fan myself. The real FOOTball. Not the football where you only use your foot to make an extra point just so you can call it football.
NFL is terrible, I love Real Madrid

The prices of renting an apartment there is soooooo much cheaper than here in Utah. I'm not planning on buying.
I have a pretty sweet deal in Austin, but I can't really compare it to Utah

I hope so too, man. Sincerely. You don't want to use a lie to get a recommend. Just be honest. You won't regret it. I know it's scary, but you can do it. It'll be worth it, I promise.
Yeah I want to be honest but until I am able to do that I don't want an interview.

Being nervous is understandable. But the bottom line is: What is the right thing to do? If you can't do it right now, what can you do to get yourself into the position to do the right thing?
Yeah I know that is why I cancelled the meeting because I didn't feel able to be honest with the bishop. I don't know when I will rearrange it for because even though I want to go to the temple I am struggling to be honest and I don't want to lie.
6 minutes ago, Mores said: Being afraid and hiding the truth will automatically choose a path away from doing the right thing and away from truth. If you want to run away from the truth, do you really believe you can believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ?
Yes I do I believe in the gospel.

As I said, you're his dad already. But until you actually do something about that, you're being a very poor one.
I know I am and that's why I am kind of hesitant to tell the bishop I am not ashamed of my son I am ashamed of myself.
But hopefully I will be able to be honest and he will understand me

I've never loved Utah myself. Stayed because of my parents but they are both gone now so nothing keeping me here. And 2 of my kids are moving to Texas as well. I need to get out of snow and just need a change.
I think as I have gotten older I feel it is more important to live near family

So JGarcia, you asked, we answered. Yes, tell your bishop about your son. It doesn't really matter what other details you have to share, our answer isn't going to change.
Thanks for asking our opinion. Happy meeting with the bishop!
Yeah of course I can tell him but like I said it's just that I am nervous about what he will ask me to do and what he will think of me okay.

You don't? How do figure?
4 minutes ago, JGarcia said:Because I don't see him or pay for him.
5 minutes ago, unixknight said:Define "ready." Because every minute you use that as a reason to not do anything for your son, you're choosing yourself over him.
It's just I am not sure I can commit to being his dad yet. I don't want to see him a few times and then not see him again
Why doesn't the LDS church run any parenting courses ?

A friend of mine who knows I go to LDS church told me she has been really struggling with her 7 year old, basically she can''t control him and a relative of hers told her to go to some parenting course that is put on by a local church. As she knows I go to church she asked me does my church have one she can go to. I told her that there aren't any courses you show up to, but there are some guides that are printed and I could ask for some members who have kids to give her advice, but she didn't seem keen on this idea. I also have a child, I don't see them but I would like to go to some parenting course too. Pretty much all the baptist churches around us offer free parenting courses and my friend is going to go to one.
My friend said she was surprised that the LDS church doesn't have any parenting courses as it seems to be a well known thing that families are central to the gospel. I would like to tell her why we don't offer them. Can you help me out please ?
Also, I think I want to go to a parenting course at a church too, do you think it is okay ?
