Well Ivy....Thanks. I'm sorry that you're dealing with that, but you just got a chuckle out of me. Made my day. Smile

Today I made a caveman chuckle. How many people can say that?

From my perspective, there is no such thing as a perfect family dynamic. One can make the veiled comment that the perfect family includes one mother and one father as parents to the however many children, but what that scenario dismisses is the behind the scenes behavior. A family equipped with mother and father can be quite horrendous an upbringing for the children if the parents are horrible at being parents, while a child raised in a single parent household could become a renowned scientists because that one parent was actually a decent parent.

My bet is that if your kid is asking questions (note - I don't have kids so I might be wrong) he should have those answered from both of you and being given the choice to believe on or another. Personally my girlfriend is a Christian and I'm an atheist, I will not have a problem with our future kids going to church as long as the indoctrination is not overly severe, I guess I'll just look for a different priests, I've met one or two I wouldn't mind letting my kids being with since they pose questions from a critical thinking/philosophical perspective and not only with Christianity.
