It's on again!

The child care debate continues over here. Jean is writing a series of posts on the subject.

Her first is on attitudes. It's worth reading.

  1. I'm staying away. I don't need more stress in my life.

  2. I don't think you'll find this stressful, Wendy. Jean's main point is that we ask ourselves:

    "Am I fulfilling the high calling that God has given me - to love and help my husband and, with him, to love, teach and train our children as we raise them up in Christ?" The details of our decisions will vary according to our individual circumstances, and some of us may well need to use childcare, but all of us who are mothers need to examine our choices in the light of this priority. God has entrusted our children to our care: how will we respond?

  3. Amen. Have been composing a post all week about the childcare thing. Probably don't need to, Jean has done a better job.
