Compassion Please

My oldest daughter is seventeen weeks pregnant and having alittle problems here and there. We spent ten hours in the emergency room last Sunday night and everything ended up being fine. Well last night she was having some achiness and pressure in her stomach and pelvic area so I went to her house to see what she wanted to do. Her husband is a very nice guy and great husband but his compassion is in his little toe. He always tells her that everything will be fine and just to go to bed and dont worry about it. I understand leaving everything in Gods hands but when your carrying a child you have so many fears about what is going on. He has the attitude that we dont need to sit in an emergency room all night long which is especially something he does not want to do, but we didnt want to endure that either.She wanted me to spend the night in case she had any problems and he thought that was not nescessary since I do live close. I understand that to but when your daughter is upset some you will do as a mother what you need to do.He proceeded as she was trying to decide what to do and asking me to stay, informed her that she was married now, like you dont need your mom. I did tell him nicely that if she had his compassion and support that she would not need her mom as much! I think he felt bad after the fact, but we are praying for compassion in his life as well as in many other peoples lives. I would appreciate any opinions on this matter and how you feel about compassion in our lives.

I will be praying for her husband. Sometimes husbands just are so pratical they just simply forget compassion. I will pray for him. And your daughter.

Take Care

Oct. 19, 2006 - RV Park

Posted by humpty
I was not sure which RV park you wanted info about, I am assuming the one in Orlando. It was the best one we have ever stayed in. The pool was heated and open 24 hours to adults, closed at 10 for kids. It was quiet. It would be a great place for a family reunion, as they have rooms for large gatherings and also cottages to rent for people without RVs. They may have a classification restriction on RVs, we have a class A with a bump out, but many, if not most, had multiple bump outs and very classy. They have a grill by the pool. The little kids also have a separate pool with a waterfall and there is a large sandbox and a cool playground, all close to the large pool. The camper store was very well stocked.

The best thing about it was, if you we not interested in spending your whole vacation and your wad at Disneyworld, it was within walking distance from Old Town and many, many restaurants. We loved Old Town, it was a mixture of an amusement park and several blocks of shopping and things to do. It was free unless you rode a ride or bought something. We will stay there again.

If you wanted to know about the RV park in New Orleans. It definately had a class restriction and we barely qualified. We were the puppy amidst million follar coaches. The owner, Jay, was very nice and when we could not get a taxi, he took us in his car to our seminar. It is brand new and VERY nice. Cobblestone streets with New Orleans lamps at each site. They are in the process of building gazebos at each site, also. I never went to look at the pool or anything, but whatever they have will be nice.

Oct. 25, 2006 - hmmmm..

Well, that is a hard one. When to step in? Your daughter is married now. She does have her own family. This is a point when mom does need to step back some. However, that doesn't mean you stop being a MOM! When a woman is pregnant that is a time that she really needs her mom. Some one who has been there done that. Has her DH been pregnant? Does he know how it feels when it is right or when something is wrong? No. I hope he didn't give you too hard a time about staying the night. In a lot of cases I do think it is very important for parents to remember to stay out of married children's business. (Said from a biblical, daughter view point. My children aren't married yet. I imagine this view will be harder to deal with when I'm in your shoes.) I don't think this is a case where you stuck your nose in where it didn't belong. Your daughter will always need you some. I too will pray for a little compassion to grow in your SIL's heart.

My advice is to perhaps remind him that with matters dealing with pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, the best person to offer support is another mother. This is a time when experience, wisdom, and compassion between women is so important. And if your daugther gets this kind of motherly support, that allows her to be a better wife and mother.

Just my 2¢.
