I am not sure if it says anything in the Bible on how to raise your kids ???
2 Corinthians 12:14
Now for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be burdensome to you; for I do not seek yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.
Ephesians 6:1-4
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. "Honor your father and mother," which is the first commandment with promise: "that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth." And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Colossians 20-21
Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Thats all i could think of right now, if i find anything else, i'll be sure to let you know.
BTW, to answer your question until today, my parents pretty much have more control on me than any other girl i know lol.
Pray for me

only difference with me is that my parents just like my brother more... apparantly, i have the bad genes in the family (yet the smarter one)...

Interesting St. Paul is only asking the father to not provoke the children and not parents as in the father and mother ???
This is because the father is more known to be the authority of the house. “The man of the house”, etc. personally I see that in my house also, my father is more dominant, as is the man in most households.
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.
Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Not to say that the mother shouldn’t have a weighted word in the house; of course she should; but when the man is present they are the ones in control. Don’t give me feminist responses please :-)
Ephesians 5:25-29,33
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church.
...let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband."
It’s a mutual position…
-Mark
-Mark i dont really mean to pursue that, but dont u think that same males go over the limit?
No I don’t think so because it doesn’t say for men to treat the women harshly, it is merely assigning roles to the males and roles to the females. As is written; the man and the woman become one body, so the man should treat the woman with the same love he would treat himself. If that is abided by then there won’t be any discrepancies.
ll equal in the eyes of god.

mine too
i guess all parents are like that
As is written; the man and the woman become one body, so the man should treat the woman with the same love he would treat himself.
I would add that Jesus commanded us to treat all of our neighbors that way, not just our spouses. Chistianity is not an easy religion to follow.
God bless!

I agree NC!
but it's the right one after all... :D
do parents just like the little kid more or is it that they are always spoiled
and also my parents dont differenciate b/w boys and girls but my little brother doesn't do anything in the house
is it because he is a boy or is it because he is the little one and is spoiled
ps: hes not that young
It could be for a lot of different reasons Coptic Angel:
1) If either of your parents are the youngest in their family(like between their brothers and sisters)
2) Because he is the younest (the baby of the family)
3) Then again maybe egprincess' reason because he is a boy
4) OR your parents just love him more than you :P just kidding
sleepy
sound familiar anyone?
sleepy
sleepy, ive had priests, bishops talk, yet, no listen.
You've had them talk to your parents, or what? ???
sleepy
most relationships are like that though.. u have to be the better person.. CHRISTian.. be Christ-like and others will follow your example... u'll find that once God is in your heart u'll find peace and many of the things that used to bother you wont anymore.. but like Paul said.. bear your cross with happiness and be grateful.. alot of kids dont have parents at all..( easier said than done i know)
God bless

And do not forsake the law of your mother…

I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.

and do not forsake your mother's teaching.
Bind them upon your heart forever;

but a mocker does not listen to rebuke.
Proverbs 15:5
A fool spurns his father's discipline,
but whoever heeds correction shows prudence.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
