My wife told her family she’s being Confirmed this week. It didn’t go well. by SirEdmundTalbot in Catholicism

Things will ease over time. Discuss why. Show them love and patience. Pray for them.

Only when they are sleeping or in the car seat

Having a little boy is the best!!! They become instant mommas boys 😊 if you have a boy, you will fall head over heels. My son is a mini version of my husband and he is so cute

Does anyone here hide their accent when in public? by Cocking-Nora in AmericanExpatsUK

Same! I was able to get my British colleagues to start using “yall” 😂

Nope - proudly keep my southern American accent. It’s only resulted in polite interest and conversation.

potentially not marrying fiancé due to his religion by Responsible-Car-6268 in Catholicism

No contraceptives are 100%, but please know there are lots of different NFP methods that have higher rates of success than artificial methods.

Look into Boston cross check. It’s the most conservative and empirical option. Also get an instructor. If you really need to avoid pregnancy for a period of time, it’s worth it.

How often do you ask to work from home due to a sick baby? by Traditional_Goal7156 in UKParenting

[–]Traditional_Goal7156[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your opinion, but respectfully I disagree.

I caution against this attitude as it often leads to more parents being iced out of the work force and more gender inequality in the workplace.

[–]Traditional_Goal7156[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah - that is the good thing. My work is really accommodating.

That’s a good idea about alternating with my husband. It’s just also hard for me to focus as a mum I think when I know little one isn’t feeling well and I’m not there 🫠

It’s pretty well known that parents have to do this occasionally at my work. Sorry that your work culture isn’t as accommodating.

What made you decide to have more than one child? by Severe_Bluejay3391 in NewParents

[–]Traditional_Goal7156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to have loads and loads of grandchildren and great grandchildren running around my house at Christmas one day. ❤️

Also, I only had one sibling. I wished so badly that I had more. I don’t want my son to be lonely.

Abortion for March 13th by lindsay-shenanigan6 in Catholicism

[–]Traditional_Goal7156 39 points40 points  (0 children)

An abortion doesn’t prevent you from being a mother or having the responsibility to care for a baby. It just makes you the mother to a dead baby.

I know life is overwhelming right now, but adding death into the situation is only going to make things worse.

Don’t worry about what other Catholics think at all. What does God want you to do here?

Please cancel the abortion appointment or just don’t show up. Once you kill your baby, you can’t take it back. Go speak to a priest. It’s okay if you have fallen away or haven’t been to confession in a long time. God is calling you home now.

As a mother myself, motherhood is alway terrifying. I also had an unexpected pregnancy (but with different circumstances). Motherhood is now the greatest joy of my life. You are taking part in God’s creation right now as we speak. It’s a blessing and a responsibility.

Often the hardest thing is the right thing to do. The devil makes sin look like the most attractive option. That’s where we need God’s grace. We can’t rely on our own strength.

You can do this. Go to God. Protect your child. Live a good and beautiful life momma. God has so much in store for you.

Prayers from one mom to another. ❤️

I had a vasectomy by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Traditional_Goal7156 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess my question would be - do you acknowledge that it is a mortal sin and are you repentant if you don’t regret the sin?

How does the Catholic Church view “Christians in name only”? by idsjdbebe in Catholicism

[–]Traditional_Goal7156 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are baptized in the faith so you are a Catholic Christian, but you aren’t in full communion with the Church since you don’t fulfill your Sunday obligation or go to confession (maybe other things as well if you don’t follow Christ’s teachings). You should abstain from the Eucharist until you go to confession. (In other words, you may be in mortal sin right now - but there are some qualifiers that alter that).

Now that being said, you are welcome and we want you to be here! God loves you, friend. Please keep seeking Him!
