Well, fr0d0, IMO you're stereotyping whether you happen to be right or not in this particular situation.
@: Madscientist - that you should just 'hope she sees your point' because surely you do have a say in the matter too? And I think it's important to find a solution or AT LEAST some compromise. Ultimately what's more important, what your partner thinks of you/how she will react or the children not being indoctrinated into a bullshit Church from such an early age?
I personally think it is a very important decision to make (but there's no absolute rush, it's important to stay calm and not panic of course). I don't think it's something you should just 'discuss and hope'. I mean if your partner disagrees you might not want to just let her keep taking the children to the Church and have them 'brought up' some way. Perhaps you'd need to find a peaceful solution, a way around that?
I think it's a very important decision and not simply a 'discuss and hope she sees your point'.
That's what I think anyway.
