I was not allowed to go out on the weekend with friends until those chores were done. My poor mom struggled because I was constantly complaining about doing them, now I look back and think this was so good to learn!! I hated to do them, but now that I am older I understand why. I did have dance lessons, soccer etc, but these were taken away for bad behavior at times. <BR/><BR/>I agree, the primary reason of child raising is to raise Godly children who will go out and live their lives for Christ. Parents are there to equip their children to learn to live right.<BR/><BR/>My friends roomate, this is the truth, went to college not knowing how to wash dishes! My friend had to teach her. This poor girls parents did everything for her and never taught her how to live by doing simple chores. They thought they were doing her service but really it was disservice!Alicia @ refinedisaiah648.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750307795198616964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-88904962179561492582008-02-28T00:14:00.000-05:002008-02-28T00:14:00.000-05:00Now it is my turn to say "Amen!"You know I agree w...Now it is my turn to say "Amen!"<BR/>You know I agree with you!<BR/>Becky K.Becky K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10531485758141842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159257200454865972.post-39803572189282307802008-02-27T15:57:00.000-05:002008-02-27T15:57:00.000-05:00This is so very true. I was one of those children,...This is so very true. I was one of those children, who had dance lessons, track, was a cheerleader, in band... I had so much I was doing along with going to school. I didn't have to learn to run a household. Saturdays were the cleaning day, but otherwise I should be a kid. My mom still sees it this was and think Brook and I are too hard on the kids with them helping out with household chores. They like it and that needs to stay, because I hate cleaning. I have had to train myself to become a woman of God, instead of being prepared for adulthood. I didn't even learn to brown hamburger until I was married. Sad I know :( But hopefully we will prepare our children. Thanks for the encouragement. Love you! - NicoleNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328075477600393736noreply@blogger.com
