[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 14484, member: 2727"] My daughter used to attend church with a much older lady and her grandkids. I went to go pick up my difficult child from school one day and I discovered that she was not there. I called the police and they eventually found her with some boy and come to find out she had ditched school that day along with this boy. Of course I put her on restriction and when this lady called to see if my difficult child was going to church that Sunday I told her about my difficult child being on restriction and told her that she would not be joining her this Sunday. This woman was appalled that I would prevent my difficult child from going to church and said that going to church would turn her around and get her under control. My comeback was that god did not prevent my difficult child from ditching school in the first place and that he is not responsible for her bad choices in life, She is and that Church is not the fix all. I continued and reminded her that I am her parent and I will do what I see fit to guide her and to do what is necessary to turn around her bad behavior. This woman was a sweetheart and had a close knit family with grandbabys that she cherished and boasted about with allot of money to boot and made it quite obvious. Sadly about a year after my difficult children bad choices that did in fact turnaround I found out that one of her perfect grandbabys took her own life at 14 years old. I wonder if she thought that the church would fix her. If so, How sad.
