I love my mother in law but fuck I hate how she & her sister love to bring me down just because my partner & I don't want to baptize our daughter :/
I have nothing against their beliefs & I respect everything she says about god & her Catholic/Christian ways but we just have a different way of believing things
today they told me I am an irresponsible mother for not wanting baptism & why have kids in the first place if you don't plan on baptizing them (even though she talked me out of abortion in the first place) & they had the nerve to say I'm treating my daughter as if she were a dog all thats left is for me to tie her up outside
I know this is a touchy subject but as a mom can't I have a right on how I want to raise my child? :'(
those 2 subjects are completely different, wow sounds like she will try anything to get to you. She must think that by putting you down, it will make you change your mind. However just stick your ground and remind her that your the parent. Maybe have your SO sit down and talk to her and tell her that it's not okay for her to treat you that way. @gothmom123
@mommybear92, that is the exact reason why I don't want to baptize her I wanna give her the right to choose if she wants to be Catholic or Christian or not & I told her that & she goes oh what next make her decide if she wants to go to school or not or eat food & I'm like that is not the same thing.. & shes like it is the same thing you're taking her right away from her & just like ????
She has no right to speak to you like that. I was raised catholic and baptized and my husband is Christian and is also baptized, but that doesn't mean we are going to baptize our son, we want him to have the right to make that choice when he is older and have an understanding of what it really means.
Wow!!!!! I would be so upset and angry at her for saying those things! My children will not be baptized doesn't mean I love them any less. Don't let people bring you down. You have every right to do whatever you want with your children and if they can't respect that then maybe they don't belong in their lives just saying. That's so uncalled for in my book. I'd be livid.
wow that sucks... i think she needs to remember and acknowledge that times have changed... im catholic and ive baptized my kids because its a belief that ur giving ur child to god to protect them from evil and ect... but that dont mean it should be a way to shame a parent on their beliefs. im about to have another bby and my bf is Christian... they dont believe on baptizing... so we might not do it.. ppl need to open their minds and accept not everyone thinks alike.
oh wow. I'm catholic, and her attitude towards your beliefs are offending me. at the end of the day, she is your daughter and you will do what you think is best for her. be strong and stand by what you believe. sending you good vibes. ♡♡
