I don't know if there's a need for a separate topic as such, but Melsy et al. have raised an interesting point about how spirituality (for want of a better word) intersects with parenting. Although I'll post on here for advice about this, that and the other, ultimately dh and I look to God for guidance and encouragement in the big issues and the smaller ones too to a certain extent.
For example, when ds was first born, I was overwhelmed and a bit low for 2/3 weeks while trying to get breastfeeding going. I read every book under the sun, but dh and I also prayed about it - for increased strength and perseverence and for wisdom to know what the heck to do next with a newborn.
Similarly, our choice for using cotton nappies has been influenced by our beliefs. Apart from all the economic and health benefits, we see it as being responsible for the part of the planet we live on. The Bible calls it "stewardship" because we're meant to be stewards of the Earth while we live on it.
I don't think I've really talked about this sort of thing with anyone other than dh, because even in our circle of Christian friends, it's rarely mentioned that faith is totally bound up with the way you bring up your kids (if you have a faith).
So yes, there is another aspect to parenting for some mums and dads. But a topic on a site like this might just lead to big heated debates. Maybe there's another place for people searching for answers to bigger questions?
