My husband went off on a diatribe about our kids. He feels like a failure sonce our three oldest didn't do missions. Two are moved out and doing fine one is an adult living at home and has decided to start UVU next semester. We have two more that aren't 'missionary age' yet. He has told them that they need to go on missions or they are going to be kicked out. I have told him, our bishop has told him that compulsion isnt a way to convince anyone of anything, but he feels the bishop never should have got his position and that i am just worldly. To him all our kids are basically sh!+. He is ashamed of his family. I dont know how much of this is church vs. him just being a controlling guilt tripping a-hole. I am trying hard to treat the church on my terms, but i feel like edicts such ad 'every worthy male must serve a mission' sends unstable people over the edge. But, maybe he'd be over the edge anyway, he finds things to complain about that are not church related too . A generally miserable person.
