      The older I get, the happier I am that I am *not* living this lifestyle. But it's great that we have the freedom to choose.

    I’d be interested in learning about male modest clothing rules/guidelines in the Mennonite community. I’ve heard and seen so much about woman but never about men . Do they have rules about wearing undershirts, how long their shorts are, what sort of shirts they can wear? Are they allowed to wear sleeveless shirts or go without a shirt at a beach ?
    Also what are the rules for swimming for both men and woman ? Does it change if your at home at your own private pool vs being in front of others ?

    • @mollyl8704
      @mollyl8704 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      There are not specific rules but some churches do think a certain level of modesty is "right" but there are different forms of mennonite

    • @cynthiafisher9907

      From what I’ve seen, the rules are only for the women. I think that is unbalanced.

      Not a mom but have that issue after becoming disabled and not able to workout like before to keep the weight off. I loved these outfits with all the smocking detail to cinch things in and yet hide things you want hidden.

    I just started following your channel. My husband and I raised 2 children who are now adults and we have one grandson. We are newly retired and have moved closer to our daughter and son-in-law to help with our grandson. I love your cooking videos and have found some things that my family will love. I want to thank you for showing modest choices for clothing. We always taught our children to dress modestly, but it wasn't always easy. If my daughter could have watched your videos on modest choices, it would have been so helpful. This is so needed in our culture starting at a very young age. We are Christians and I find your beliefs very refreshing to hear. Keep up the great work! Question: do you ever quilt? Thank you, Megan! Blessings to your family, Cherie DeYoung

    You are a lot like the woman from proverbs 31 Megan, you will be praised at the gates. You are such a thoughtful and intentional mother and wife and it's fun to watch because a lot of times we think of mom's as our own mom's age or grandma's who of course are professional at homemaking etc., but we are watching you become your children's memories of their amazing mother. If that makes any sense! God bless you!

    A trick I heard about potty training, is to put the cotton underwear on first and then a pullup/diaper on TOP of the underwear. Then if they have an accident, it feels wet and nasty for the kid, but you haven't got an awful mess to deal with when you're out and about!

      You’re right about the cotton. Back in the day when I potty trained my kids...and later, when I helped potty train my two grandsons, cotton underwear was the trick! In the 70s and 80s we could get cotton training underwear. The crotch had several layers of very soft cotton knit so thick it absorbed like a sponge! .(They could be made at home if they aren’t in stores now...or buy cotton underwear and sew in some extra
      layers of cotton fabric).
      My two were trained in the summer...so much easier just to put the underwear on them as they played inside the fenced backyard. (My daughter was a breeze to train...most girls are)!
      When cotton gets wet next to one’s skin, we all know it is uncomfortable. With those disposable pull-ups, they might as well be in diapers! I checked my grandsons wearing pull-ups and I COULD NOT tell if they were wet to save my life! So COTTON to the training rescue!

    What I did was do a star chart. Everytime he goes he gets to put a star on his chart and at the end of the week reward him with something. This works great. I did this with all my kids and all the kids I babysat over the years. They all loved it. Both boys and girls. ( 9 kids) that I potty trained.

    Megan, when I potty trained my two boys, we also had them go bare from waist down for about a week when we were home. We made sure we’d be home most of the week so we could do that. It worked so well! Then we went right to underwear. I totally understand wanting to potty train before the new baby comes. God bless you!
