I have to rant here for just a moment. *sigh*
I am babysitting a little girl over the summer, she's 8, for her parents until school starts. Her parents are divorced due to her mom having an affair several years ago. Since then her mom and her dad were working on reconciling their marriage, only to have the marriage counselor, a preacher in their church, and her mom start having an affair. :ohno Her dad was devastated when this happened. When it came out, the church kicked this guy out of the church because he refused to admit that he did anything wrong. :doh The mother doesn't think she did anything wrong either, and they have both declared the undying love for each other.
Today, this little girl I'm keeping, told me that her mom and this man are getting married in October. Her mom told her that since he's a preacher that her mom will be a preacher's wife and she will be a preacher's daughter, and they will have Bible studies every evening. This little girl was told, and she told me, that this man will be a good influence on their family because he's a preacher. When I say I want to throw up, I really mean it. I am actually sick to my stomach. I just want to take that woman and figuratively beat some sense into her!
I have not said anything to her mother, because she doesn't think she's done anything wrong, yet she claims to be a Christian. She goes to church and does all the right things, but her actions and the actions of this man say otherwise. I'm very concerned about what this is teaching her daughter. Her dad is a very nice man, who is having a very difficult time with this. He has to share custody of his daughter with this woman, and basically has no control over what she does when it's her turn to take their daughter. I can't tell this little girl, while she's here, that her mother is a *admin edit* and needs to repent of her sin or she'll be going to hell, because, although that may be how I feel, it's not something you tell a child.
I'm so disgusted right now.
