When it comes to your children did you plan ahead or as you went? Or do you plan ahead or take that bridge when it comes? Did you ever think that you would do it the way you are doing it now? I am a person who likes to know things ahead of time, I always plan ahead and want to know everything I can about any given subject. Right now, It's pregnancy, parenting, etc. Do you regret not planning ahead? Or Are you regretting not planning ahead? Did you change your ways of planning once something went a bit awry?
Any and all comments and suggestions are welcome, write me a essay if you will or wish because i'd be happy to read it!

of course we plan ahead..but i guess sometimes some plans really wont materialize without the help of the Almighty and of course with the children itself..like as parents we really like that our children will finish college and have a good job in the near future..and with in the time alloted for each courses but sometimes it will not happen...we planned also having a 2 children only but i guess it did not happened we had 4 children but still no regrets for it coz the more the merrier i guess...so that it make me think that i guess we had to live ourlives for a daily basis...which of course with God's presence..

It's true that some plans don't work out like they should but that's really only god saying "Wait a few minutes" or "Don't do that now, wait until later" I appreciate your response to me and am glad you were blessed with four children!

We did not plan much but in some ways we have planned. That is about the birth of my son and the other child on the way. When it comes to education, we planned like when to end the child to playgroup and all. But our God had a better plan for all of us. So there is nothing much to worry. Leave it to the Lord is our policy. Our God can make better plans on our behalf. I do not regret about the past but seeks help in prayer for the future. Did we change ways of planning? Not at all. When I plan I would check various sources about all things and later do not think back.

I have always planned ahead with my child. SHe's been in a routine all her life and she's only 5, and i was always in a routine since i was born, so that's all i know, and i think in my eyes, but doesn't have to be in other people's eyes that being prepared and planned for things is better, and you enjoy yourself alot better.

Enjoying yourself a lot better sure does come because of preparations but then again not always. Sometimes you have more fun spontaneously. Am glad that you were in a routine as well as your daughter, truly it's whatever works best for you. I know routines are great and i've been in them myself, but a non routined day is always great once in awhile! I appreciate your response to me!
