It’s her entitlement mentality that is holding her back.
What a teachable moment though. Ya know, there’s a reason God says to wait until marriage to have sex. It’s not because He’s a party pooper. It’s at least partly because it takes a mom and a dad to do the important task of raising a family. Sure, people do their best if there’s only one and sometimes it’s not their fault that they’re alone either, but it’s really too big a job for just one, because somebody has to earn a living while someone tends the kids. It’s not rocket science. And yet so few people have really thought it through and see the wisdom of God’s plan.
I’m sympathetic to the plight of people who would like to lose weight but can’t afford the “healthy” food, because that can be a problem. But her entitlement mentality seems to be what is slowing her down more than anything else.
Great post.
