Pacifiers are not for all babies but basically it isn't your choice when the baby isn't yours. Why can't people just be happy for others and wish them well?

I agree that not sterilizing the pacifiers is nasty, but there are those of us germiphobes who always made sure they were sterilized. I think it is a rare mother who gives her child a pacifier just so they don’t have to deal with them at the moment. Ear infections are a lot of times just hereditary. My son had many of them because his dad did. My other children didn’t get them.

Some babies will try to use their mom as a pacifier if they don’t have one. One of my children was that way. He didn’t have ear infections and when I felt he was old enough I threw it away. It is a lot easier than taking away a finger. Also I always sterilized the pacifiers. I boiled them on the stove top.

He did most of that before even courting or being on the show. I think he will continue to work flipping houses and helping his parents at the ranch. He didn’t need the money from the show to survive. He fixed up the house they live in now. He isn’t sitting around trying to live on the little bit of money they get from the show. I am sure it isn’t much since they have to split it between so many people.

Maybe the newlyweds or those married one year would be wiser to sit back and take instruction from couples married 10+ years who already have strong, happy, healthy marriages. When I was a newlywed, that's what were looking for-couples with years of life experience, who genuinely respected/supported/valued each other to mentor us. Nobody every plans to have a bad marriage, but a lot of people fail to plan how to have a strong marriage. The Biblical model is always a season of mentorship before promotion to leading anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-60555176858958838092018-04-05T20:09:00.804-05:002018-04-05T20:09:00.804-05:00I meant that she is now on staff at the family cam...I meant that she is now on staff at the family camp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-43748053514099829442018-04-05T19:42:05.009-05:002018-04-05T19:42:05.009-05:002:10, if you would do somebody research you would ...2:10, if you would do somebody research you would find that most babies who die from SIDS die within hours to one week of receiving their shots.
