[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was talking to a pastor once....He asked me, "If your child was drowning, and your husband (or wife) was drowning, and you are only able to save one, who would you save?" No hesitation, I said my child. He said wrong answer. WTF I thought? He then explained, that your husband/wife would be there for you when you are old, and when your children are gone. We raise our children to be independent and to leave our nest but not our spouse. We made vows before God to provide and protect our spouse. I still don't get it (I am not religious by any means) but just something to think about since it is on topic. [/quote]

The Pastor sounds like an asshole.

I'd definitely save my kid.  If I didn't spouse would never forgive me and I'd never forgive myself.

I'd want DH to save one of our kids over me as well.  [/quote]

This is why we have taught our children how to swim out of a rip current.  You can't assume that you can save another person no matter how much you love them.  Give them the tools to save themselves..[/quote]

I agree with this, and yes, I've read your next comment that it's a valid perspective. No, it's not, when he says "wrong answer." It's not up to him to say what the right answer is based on any other feelings but his own. So the heck what that your children are to grow and independent? And somehow implying that god commands you to put your spouse first is creepy. [/quote]

Sorry, I do NOT agree with rip current lady. That is irrelevant and just a way to make you feel better. I remember once my mom said if she had to make space in a life boat for either me or her husband (my stepdad) she'd pick him because I'm a better swimmer. Thanks mom. We don't talk much now.

I do agree with the lady who said the pastor sounds like an asshole. [/quote]

Rip current lady here.  If we had a 2 seater lifeboat, we would simply each take a turn swimming while the others rested in the boat :).  We could do that because we've taught our kids to be good swimmers :).[/quote]
