Sunday Lesson

We had an interesting lesson in RS yesterday, it was on the sacrament and what needs to be done to keep reverent and such. Well our ward has sacrament meeting last. It is due to the lateness of people coming in. So of course as the lesson was progressing I was getting a little more upset about some of the comments that were being made. So finally I raised my hand and and made my statement: "In my defense having sacrament last is very difficult for me seeing as I have 3 kids who just came from class and want to show/talk with me about what they have learned. I tell them it is time to be quiet and we can talk more on the way home or at home. They don't understand so then that leads to crying and then I am upset and frustrated cause they are not quiet." Then another sister said: "Well we were taught at home that we do not talk until we get home" So then I felt burned again. I felt she was attacking my parenting skills and painting me as a bad mom, or maybe I was just a little more sensitive then I should have been. The reason I bring this up is that most of the women that made comments are the ones with teenagers who sit there and text their friends during sacrament meeting. Luckily we didn't get that far in the lesson cause I was ready to make a comment about that as well. You know it is not just the teenagers that text it is the adults as well. Luckily my mother in law came to my defense and pointed out that the children have to sit for 2 hours before sacrament meeting in class and to ask them to sit another hour is hard. Come to find out later the RS president said that the Bishop will be talking to the stake about possibly changing back. We shall see.
