RESISTING PRESSURE
"You're the only mother who isn't letting me see the movie!" "Lauren's parents are so much cooler that you guys." "Dad, you're a control freak."
Hearing these kinds of statements can really sting. And sometimes, our hurt feelings can cause us to be overly harsh in our words and discipline.
But as Christian parents, we are called to carry out our responsibilities with humility and love rather than sarcasm and guilt. This is only possible when we are confident of our value in Christ and allow His love to hold us up and cover the pain of disrespectful statements.
Don't let your hurt feelings result in ungodly parenting.
