A bear on a mission!
I'm in the process of arranging my 2 children's baptism for possibly June. My family are all in Ireland but they are coming over so I've said they can chose whatever month & I'll go by that. They are making a real effort.
My MIL (who I really don't get on with) says whenever we have it she won't be going. She is saying that why should we get the kids baptised that religion is evil etc etc. These are her only 2 grand children (she won't be getting any more). She won't be in any of the photos etc. Surely she could just go & put her views aside for one day for her grand children?
We are only having a service then going to a local pub for Sunday roast with immediate family. If she doesn't come to the service should i just say she can't come to the dinner? or am I being b!tchy?? I think if you can't just make an effort for 1 hour don't bother coming at all. My FIL is coming as is my H cousins from Ireland (his only family)
The other thing is my son is 2 and she's set up this workbook for him with just words i.e. the, and, dog etc without any pictures & she's sitting him down making him read them. I spoke to the pre-school teacher (he starts there Sept) & she says it's too young. My worry is that when he goes to pre school he'll kbnow the words etc & he'll get bored when the others are learning (I don't want a know it all son!) I understand him like looking at books/pictures but think this is too much
Please can I have your thoughts? Am I just being silly??
