Faerie Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!! YAY!!!! A future little RM tee hee heee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 16, 2004 Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 A future little RM tee hee heee But you wouldn't really care if he decided not to go on a mission, right? Just so long as he is born a healthy, bouncing boy. Time enough in the future to consider filling his head with scripture and so forth. :) Hope all goes well. Don't over do things, don't make the common mistake of thinking you have to eat for two, don't... Hey. Sorry. Getting a little carried away, there!

Faerie Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 Of course I expect all of my sons to fullfill honorable missions :) Will be equally as thrilled if my daughters choose to serve missions as well, and of course..I expect temple marriages out of all of my children :) we'll be naming him Isaac...i think lol!!

Faerie Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 matt...when EVERY reply he makes to my posts is rude and sarcastic, i stop finding it funny..i posted joyous news w/ a funny comment about a future RM and instead of simply saying "hey congrats!! a boy how wonderful!!" he has to insult the choices i will be making as a parent...

Matt Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Well, see... there are some of us who remember what it was like being viewed as Mormon cannon fodder. I was flavour of the month (heck, the flavour of whole years!!!) until it became clear that, owing to a minor physical problem caused by a motorbike crash that I wasn't going to go on a mission. Then I was dropped like... well, just like someone who wasn't going on a mission. Sad, but that was the reality. So, some people who post here might not think: "Oh, how sweet!" They'd think: "Poor kid." Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bat Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 I don't think it's cool to decide for your children what they are going to do for 2 years of their ADULT lives for them, especially before they are even born. I was expected to go on a mission too. SCREW THAT! I was perfectly capable of making my own decision about the matter, and having brainwashed religious nutcase lunatics telling me that I was expected to go on a mission ticked me off. If you want a mission served so badly, go on one yourself and let the young adults make that decision for themselves without guilt tripping them into it. I am disgusted. Bad Fairy.

It's a modern medical marvel, I tell ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats.......This is your first? Hey, we all have high hopes and expectations for our children. Truth be known, those get dashed in real life. There are always disappointments, both on the part of the child AND the parents. Just take it one day at a time, what happens, happens. Bat is right when he says that you can't tell an adult child what to do anymore...if you do that you will surely lose them.Marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
