Summer arrangements

If you have children that are school age what kind of arrangements do you have for them while you are working during the summer?  A closely related question is when do you decide they are old enough to stay home alone in the summer?

Travel Sports Teams

Do any of you have children on travel sports teams?  They are a big thing where I live.  Also, you are told your child will not be able to play at highschool, etc. if you don't do travel ball.  The big thing I have seen with travel ball is it takes over your life and your children often have games on Sundays.  I think Sunday should be a time for worship and be with family.  Just trying to see what your experience is with this pressure.  I also see it with cheerleading squads, etc.

Quotes wrongly attributed to the Bible

In the March CWM issue I talk about quotes that are attributed to the Bible that are not in the Bible. For example, God helps those who help themselves. Please share some other quotes or examples you have heard that are inaccurate.

Support from family as a CWM

We often talk at CWM about reaction to Moms working from the church or other Moms. That got me to thinking. What kind of reaction did you get from your own mother and mother-in-law (if you have one) about working outside the home?

Christmas Traditions

What Christmas traditions do you have as a family? Closely related to that question is how do you keep Christ in Christmas?

What do you think of this article?

Hello Ladies! One of the main complaints I hear from CWMs is there often isn't any meetings at church for them. Read this article and tell me what you think. Do you have Christian women in your life you can be real with and share your struggles?

Advice for new CWMs

I often get surveys from CWM who are either returning to the work force after years at home or just had a baby. Both feel tremendous guilt about working. If you could give advice to a new CWM what would it be?
