Controversial Issues / Over protective Mother
« on: June 01, 2023, 01:24:11 PM »
Greetings,
This is my first post here. I could use some advice or some biblical references to an issue that's going on.
I've raised all 5 of my children to be personally responsible. That seems to be a lost trait amongst a lot of youth as I see it. My 27 year old step daughter is the 6th child that I've raised and her mother (my wife) doesn't want her to work. She has no problems letting her hang out with people while she (we) pay her insurance every month, as well as gas for her vehicle - not to mention repairs on her car. Sigh.
I don't want to draw a line in the sand over this. The wife says that she know's that God wants it that way for now. I told her that God also wants us to take care of our personal responsibilities as well.
Can anyone advise me on this. I'm not hearing from God in that manner. She's hurting her daughter by not letting her grow up to be a member of society.
