Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! I know it hurts, I have been judged too, just remember that some peoples sins are on the inside or hidden, some are obvious, but a sin is a sin and we all do it. This woman who thinks she is better and without sin is wrong in what she is doing. Have you talked to her about why your dh went to prison? Maybe she doesn't know and is afraid of what she can't see, but you will face this from people until someone gives them something else to talk about and the memories fade. It will blow over. Hang in there and be strong and know that God loves your family. Be careful who you tell when it comes to this subject. I have found that it is better not to tell, because people are people, they just are. Take care sweetie, Ingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 P.S. Do you have to tell your son? I would talk to the lady about this right away. Yucky call, but worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2002 Report Share Posted March 14, 2002 Arlene: Totally unfair to your son -- If it were me I would go directly to her house and confront her! I would (not that it is any of her business) explain to her the situation. If she still refused my child to play with hers - screw it, it's not worth it, there are other kids to play with. (just my opinion, I seem to be very opinionated today, not sure why?) G. Nashville, TN I have to vent I need help ladies Ok, I have a problem with MEAN people. My little boy who is 9 has a best friend who he has played with since he started school here in Batesville 3 yrs ago. Well this past week he asked to play at the boys house and I told him as long as the mom didn't care, well I never got the chance to talk to her so being the confindent mom I asked the friend if his mom cared for JC to play at their house, he says no. Well he goes there to play and my son is a very honest open person the mom asks him about his parents and my son tells her where I work and my name then she asked about his dad. Well my DH is in Jail so my son who isn't ashamed of his dad tells her and she immediately leaves the room. WEELLLLL today my day care lady is at the park and runs into this lady and they are talking and when she finds out my son goes to her day care, she tells my day care lady that JC is no longer allowed to play at her house because he has a father who is a felonist and she doesn't want her son to play with a boy from that type of lifestyle. My DH went to prison for DUI's NOT murder or anything really terrible. I hate MEAN people. Now how do I tell my son without making him cry. I have cried enough about this to fill a pool. Help me Arlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2002 Report Share Posted March 15, 2002 Arlene, we all know what happened, we know what kind of wonderful person you are, we know that your DH isn't a monster. I'm certainly not defending the mother that said that since it was very ignorant, however, as a mother, if I didn't know the whole story, I would be hesitant to send my children to somebodys house too. I have a neighbor, a dear friend, who's husband has been in and out of prison for drugs, alcohol, etc. and to be honest, I don't let my daughter spend the night (they have a DD about my DD's age) when he is there. WE know that your husband wouldn't hurt a fly, but there are so many nuts out there, us mother's can never be too careful. I know you would be the same when it came to your children and you didn't know the whole story. It is however, the other mothers shame that she didn't take the time to find out the whole truth. Her loss. You don't need her in your life, or her kids. I hope this adds some insight. in MI Re: I have to vent I need help ladies arlene being the streight forward person i am i would also do what leslie said , tell jc it is not his fault and that lady has a problem then go see her and the other bust bodies and give them a mouth full, that will show jc you are not ashamed of your dh either and he made a mistake and hes sorry and he has did his time, dont let that hateful lady get away with hurting your son, love judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2002 Report Share Posted March 16, 2002 You have nothing to cry for. You are a good mother b/c you have taught your son to say the truth in the face of potential embarrassment. Even our last president couldn't do that. Anyway, always pray for those who hate you, for they have a log in their eyes while yours is a spec. Stay blessed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
