Comment on Breast Cancer, Its Link to Abortion and the Birth Control Pill by Anonymous

Keep up the good work Dr. Kahlenborn! Stay on your soap box! They can’t keep their hands over their ears forever. The result of contraception is affecting Russia, Europe, and Japan. They will lose their heritage forever because of their selfishness.

Comment on Boy, age 11, undergoing sex change?? by Rachauil

Very sad story. Informative article, but I suggest that you include information that a boy not having a father gives him a longing for a male bond which he is missing, and it can manifest itself sexually leading him to have same sex attraction. Thanks

Thank you for a wonderful explanation. Absolutely, it gets better down the road. I had 4 within 5 years, and with the arrival of no. 4 and moving to a house without a fence, the tunnel seemed to grow longer until that little one was 2 yrs. old. Then it was a breeze. However, when the youngest reached 8, we had no. 6 and then no. 7 the following year,and the tunnel again grew longer because of a baby that did not like to sleep, but I had oodles of helpers. Then 6 years later, I had another baby, and lo and behold, it was the easiest of all. So, yes, there are days, and even years of a “tunnel”, but there is LIGHT at the end of the tunnel. Oh, how much fun and enjoyment we would have missed if the “tunnel” of a couple years had deprived me of more precious babies. Of course, one does not know how long the tunnel will last, but it’s like unemployment. If we just knew how long it would last, we would enjoy the free time. We just need to be patient and “encourage one another daily as Scr

I am very happy to hear this news! My daughter is 2 and my son is 1 (11 months apart) and my husband and I are always open to life. To thoonly supposed to be used for grave reason. NFP can be abused and used selfishly if we are not careful. God want us to trust in HIm comse who say they use NFP but are “Done”, although you may follow all the rules of NFP, we must not forget that got wants us to rust in him and rely on Him for everything, including our fertility! I reccommend reading “Life giving love” by Kimberly Hahn.

For me, the tunnel gradually ended after our 6th was born — the olders were going on 12, 8, 5, 3.5, and 2. The 8-yo had only been recently fitted with hearing aids and was still very much a stinker (he’s since outgrown this :-), the others were a bit too young to be able to handle much responsibility. And dh was hugely busy with his job &c. So it was up to me and the 12-yo to handle the household duties & raising of children, etc. Yikes! But by 2.5 yrs later, when the 7th was born, the 2nd, 3rd, & 4th children had learned to do a bunch of things, and it’s gotten easier with the last 4 children :-) Besides, now I’ve seen so much of childish antics that I’m so much more used to what they can do, and what they “should” do, that parenting these younger ones is relatively easy.

I can’t say that the tunnel really ends at 5 though :) Or maybe it’s just cause I only have one over the age of 5. But I really feel like the tunnel is never ending. While I refuse to make permanent birth control decisions for many more years, I still don’t see myself having more babies. It’s about more than just surviving! It’s about being able to teach them, and so far I’m bombing that course pretty bad. Not only that, but my veins may not handle another pregnancy. While I see where you are coming from, I feel far too inadequate to have more children.

This is the best post I’ve read in a long time and I so needed to read this! Our boys are 3 and 2 and unfortunately our families have made us feel like we are crazy to feel so stressed. There are a lot of those “but we have twice as many kids as you” comments made. I feel like we are learning to deal with the stress so much better as time goes on and so I can see how this can be a tunnel. Also, after our second was born we got rid of a lot of baby things. Even though we are using NFP we thought we were done. A while later we realized that thoughts of a 3rd might be creeping in and we’ve started saving things again. So glad we are NFP’ers!
