Hello PB!
I have been in hiding for a while but something has really been grinding my gears so I needed to post to get some opinions and advice. Forgive me if there are some rants.
My Wife and I currently have a 6 month old and we have recently discovered that she is pregnant with our second. The problem is that we have dreaded telling her parents because we know they will react negatively. They are very wealthy and they are Christians. The problem that is they think the worst of everything. They first thing her mom said that the timing is wrong. My first reaction to that was, "The timing is perfect because it is God's timing." She told her yesterday a and she has already emailed her that she needs to go back to work and put our son in daycare. its hard to say where i'm going with this but since when have children been seen as a burden in the Christian community? Its saddens me that we as Christians have reduced out faith to how much money we have to "take care of" our children. We have not waited the approved 2-5 year between children so we are doing it wrong in their eyes. I'm sorry if this is a rant but I'm sad for my wife that her parents have made this a bad thing. They have made her feel guilty about having another child. My children are not unplanned, they will all be planned. Planned by our most high God
