I need some advice from some other moms out there!  We are having some tough issues with our oldest and the other three as well. Nothing terrible just the typical, " Why do we have to go every week? Why doesn't other people come regularly?" One of our youngest (who is 5) asked me, "Mommy can't we take a break, the only time we don't have to go to church is if we are sick!"
    It probably doesn't help that they spend so much time with me! I alone do Children's church ( my helper quit), I alone teach the Kids Klub we started on Wed nights (which is growing and I have no helpers). They probably get tired of seeing mom! LOL We have explained that even if we weren't pastoring a church that they would be in church, but the oldest is right when he says that we would still be able to take a Sunday off every so often to just go away for the weekends.
I just don't know how to help them. I think oldest is feeling that PK pressure or something. Our church is great in that they allow the kids to be kids with out judgement.  This week I took the oldest out of school extra early to have a lunch date...just him and I.  DH plans to do the same with him (he is 9 and the oldest).
  Any ideas, resources advice is greatly appreciated!
God bless!
