You disagree that a sheltered child makes an unproductive adult? I bet I could

find more church talks supporting that claim than you could find supporting the idea that kids shouldn't have sleepovers.

But as you said, we don't raise each others kids. Just do me a favor and stop pretending that you don't allow it because of some sort of church edict or policy.

My poor daughter is going to be very sheltered.

So that helps her survive on her own how?

I won't be overprotective forever, just until she understands things

2/8/16 5:20pm

So about 30?

It'll be phased as circumstances and maturity dictate.

2/8/16 5:50pm

I'm with you. My girls won't be having sleepovers. I'm just too paranoid.

Totally agree.

2/8/16 5:27pm

Shouldn't be happening....

Please link to the talk from any GA that says we shouldn't have sleepovers.

Gene R Cook (70) talks about it extensively in his book.

A key quote from that passage...

Unless the spirit's told you never to allow sleepovers, right?

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:43am

What if the spirit told me to allow sleepovers? Really inconsistent spirit huh?

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:44am

No, that's fine. I'm not advocating that YOU should or shouldn't do anything

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:50am

Yes and No. The spirit isn't going to tell you to break a commandment unless

Sure there may be circumstances that the spirit tells you to avoid a

So in the nearly 200 years of church talks, you found one talk from a 70

I'm not adopting it because it came from a church talk

Knock yourself out. I couldn't care less what you do with your kids as long as

CougarBacker

I just think it's disingenuous of people to try and use some random church talk

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:21am

I never did, you asked for it so I gave it to you.

2/9/16 10:28am

Subjects like this on Cougarboard make me love my parents even more for not

CougarBacker

2/9/16 9:59am

Disagree but we don't raise each other's kids so that's fine.

Calm down there chief.

2/9/16 10:37am

Sounds good tiger. Please continue with your sheltered parenting now.

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:46am

Funny you say Tiger. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mom is my bible.

2/9/16 10:57am

Sounds like it. I hope that works out for you down the road.

CougarBacker

2/9/16 11:34am

This is laughable.

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:26am

Sheltering is a relevant term and the fact that you inferred that I am

CougarBacker

2/9/16 10:31am

I think you mean relative term

So going to law school means I grew up with a silver spoon?

LosAlcoug

2/9/16 10:53am

So allowing sleepovers means I was born with a silver spoon? See the irony?

Wow. Reading comprehension fail.

Just make sure she's ugly.

Dillinger

2/8/16 6:10pm

Won't happen, but i'll raise her to be nerdy.

2/8/16 6:17pm

Is it bad for me to have a little hope that my daughter is a bit chubby?

crm48

2/8/16 6:38pm

Yes

shimmy

2/8/16 6:39pm

Not unhealthily... but just enough to allow those to need to recongnize her

crm48

2/8/16 6:46pm

Hoping she is less attractive will be worse. Hope for more confidence, not less

shimmy

2/8/16 7:13pm

There are plenty of confident chubby girls! They just have less sex driven dudes

This thread is Taliban-ish

lol definitely not, and I'll be the same w/ my sons if I have any.
