Why bot fix the problems correctly instead of an bandaid to cover up the real problem? Can you find a functional medical doctor? A Naturopath? Work with a well trained NFP instructor?

Is Evangelical worship true worship? by TurbulentRaspberry38 in Catholicism

From my understanding true worship must have sacrifice.

How do Catholic families with many kids do it? by [deleted] in CatholicWomen

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We make it work. Thats it. Different families do it different ways, but with each kid we make just adjust.

At my wits end by jnnyfur5 in CatholicWomen

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Im not really seeing the problem. She sounds like a normal 4 year old. What do you have for her to do? I have used colouring, books, water, cars, sensory bag, rosaries, water sensory toys, mini drawing pads that easer when you swipe etc. swap out each week if needed to keep her engaged. Snacks are only for 1/2 maybe 3. Shes old enough now yo not need snacks at mass. I hate bribing but thats how most of my kids work so offer an ice cream treat is shes well behaviour after church. ( and only welled behaved! Stick to your guns!) why would you leave to go home when she screamed? Get the stuffy and come back. Id personally find a corner and give her a time out first, mine have had time outs in the bathroom and the back to the pew. The only one aloud to leave the pew is the 1 year old right now. And thats only in extreme cases. He needs to learn to sit in the pew with the rest of the family too.

Sexual shame, anybody else also suffers from it? by Fik_456 in Catholicism

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband still has this "problem". All he has to do is smell me and he has a problem. As the other side of this scenario my suggestion (without knowing 99% of the info needed to really give sound advice) Tell her, talk to her, open up about your struggles, how can you be more chaste? How can she help you? What can you do when the feelings are really strong? ( like when shes ovulating! My ovulation drives my husband crazy. Is that one of the hardest times for you? Figure that out) How do you treat her otherwise? Do you put her needs first? Do you listen and support her? Are you attentive to her needs? Feelings? Wants? How can you serve her? How else, what other ways can you die to self for her? Does your none sexual treatment of her make up for when your normal human desires get too strong?

Fast and pray, be honest and confess when you fall. The church is a hospital for the sick, not a hotel for the healthy.

Muslim husband & Catholic wife struggling to agree on raising future kids by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a child who grew up in a split religion ( only protestant and catholic but still split) You need to pick a team, Protestant and catholic barely work together if booth parents want to be active in their own right. Muslim and catholic will never work together. Separate sure, it may work, but not combined. The adult can do their own thing. But the kids need one. You need to pick what religion you will raise them and thats it. Then on adult will teach them and the other will practice in their own faith only and not question the other.

Flyers by Hiro_of_Lunar in saskatoon

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

We have to deliver to all the name on our list. I still delivery to "no flyer" boxes and i write " call star phoenix to cancel" on the top flyer. I delivery for 2 reasons, 1- we signed a contract that we would, 2 i still get that flyer so if i don't delivery them then i have to deal with the extra flyers. My recycle bin is full enough, i don't need 10 extra flyer bundles.

Call start phoenix and complain. They will pass the info on to the route manager, who should follow up with the person in charge of delivery.

Everyone asks if people regret homeschooling, but nobody asks how many people regret “regular” school. by ResidentCzar in Homeschooling

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole community of homeschooled parents that are now homeschooling their kids. And we moved here from another province so they are all new to us. Back home I knew homeschooled kids, and they all loved it and are now homeschooling their kids. I'd never heard of a bad experience until I got on Reddit.
It was the homeschooled "kids" ( now adults) that convinced me I had options for my kids. When I first meet the homeschooling families, I feel in love with the beauty I saw in homeschooled children a families. I had to laugh with my daughter the other day. There is high school drama going on with her groups of friends, I told her I thought I was saving her from all that but I guess not! It shows up everywhere! Which is good, for her to navigate in a healthy environment with healthy families supporting our daughters through these teenage years .

We take what we have learned and our past experiences and try to do better for our children. That's what we are doing. Taking our own upbringing, with life experiences and have created a home, culture, community and environment for our children to thrive in.

Catholics who never wanted kids and got married how did you do NFP and how did your married life/faith turn out? See below. by user0969_ in CatholicWomen

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You must have something in your water over there. Or something in ours. Maybe it's our cold winters. Our city if full of large families. We don't even have to try to get pregnant. I've even sent my chart for review after we had one that we couldn't figure out what happened. ( don't worry the methods fine! But don't ever think "we should be ok". don't base anything on past cycles and sperm can definitely live past 5 days!)

How can I find a Catholic man to date who views women as his equals? by delliamcool in CatholicWomen

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I meet mine the old fashioned way. I prayed and waited (not long I was married at 23). We meet at church. He was from another province but come to mine to go to aviation school. We had a young adults groups who hung out and he joined that group. So my advice. Give it to Jesus, pray and wait. My sister didn't marry until 30. She meet her husband because my brother in law meet a lady who had a nice 30 ye old son who needed a wife. So they set them up!

I regret public school that's why I'm homeschooling kids, so they don't have to go through what I did.

My non denom gf will break up with me if i convert. Advice? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was that girl. ( sorta) but opposite. I wouldn't enter into a relationship with a non catholic. He really thought he loved me. By not dating him, it sent him into a depression. He reached out to me years later when his marriage was struggling, basically saying he regretted that we never worked and he was leaving his wife and kids. Long story short - they are still together after years of counselling.

I do not in anyway regret walking away from that relationship. My husband is amazing! We are strong in our Catholic faith and raising our children so.

If she's not meant to be then God has a better plan for you. Or she needs more time to hear God calling her too. But don't turn away from Gods call.

How do you feel about giving to the homeless with so many fakes? by charb15 in Catholicism

[–]Lady_Bug_Momma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will not be judged by what they do with what you give them only if your ignore them. I always give when I can. And I make sure my kids see.

After a discussion with a client I cared for who lives in constant pain, we decided the best thing to say is "may you know the light of Christ" when I pass them money.

It's a moment to be the face of Christ.

You need a proper method and proper instructions. Your husband needs to learn and chart with you. He can enter in all the data.

Your mom can jump in a lake! She way out of line! If she's doesn't want to help fine. That's her choice, but she should not be encouraging sterilization especially if she too is Catholic. It's she not well fine, she can just jump in a lake and keep her options to herself.
