[amanda123]

my daughters wanted to go to a school parrty. My husband said no cos it would be worldly. I agreed.
Now my husbands sister has invited us to family get together which will be full of alcohol and the world. I said no buut he said we had to go cos he doenst want to upset hisfamily,

how do I deal with these double standards.
thanx

Hello,

it is better to pray about this then to ask this question publicly in the open, if your husband reads this it shows him you do not trust his decision making.

He is the head of the wife and you should follow him, children are younger and there is no oversight at that school party (esp. with young girls) whereas at the family get together your husband is there himself to see if things go wrong.

You should submit but not lower your guard, as you may inform your husband of your fears of the world and the alcohol at this family event.

Respect your husband's authority please and do not talk so behind his back, please discuss this matter with him in private.

God Bless you,
dutch

I agree with Dutch, but to that I will add, that is not exactly a double standard amanda, simply the difference between parental supervision, and none.

1Co 10:26 The Scriptures say, "The earth and everything in it belong to the Lord."
1Co 10:27 If an unbeliever invites you to dinner, and you want to go, then go.

With your family being there and NOT drinking you all cam be a witness. Your daughter could easily be tempted to do some wrong things. We have had 3 daughters and dances cause nothing but problems. Go with your husband, and unless he starts drinking or doing something wrong, respect his wishes. Pray for your daughter and teach her that this is not a double standard.

Thx. I see what your all saying

My hubbie uses the parties as a time to sit and smoke with his family all night.

He tells me to look after all the kidz.

They are smoky alcohol fuelled paties and he forces me to go with all the kizd

Let me add if I may...Christ spent His time with the drunkards of His time..
How else are they to see the light of Christ if not through you ..?Kids now days face a different more dangerous peer pressure
At a younger age. He sounds like he's using wisdom and at the teen years every thing is a double standard to them ...I got six I've fought that argument a lot.....as far as sending you off with the kids that's between you two....Rev
