My mother was a Buddhist and had to go against family friends and all she knew. You and your wife starting out as Christian, all you must do is simply return home as the prodigal son did.
To do this, all you must do is repent and turn from Buddhism.
Usually I hate having verses thrown at me, but in Buddhism the first thing I was told when entering, Do not believe anything you read, or anything you are told, come in to Buddhism questioning everything, be objective.
But no, I doubt I would return home a Christian my parent has accepted me it just took time.
I quoted one person and forgot to quote the others, my daughter is 6 my son is 7 my youngest is about 5, I'll say 5. His birthday is less than a month.
But my concern was them being around the extremist I mentioned. Nice lady, very friendly with the children but the stuff she says and teaches them are so off the wall. Stuff about not eating at night because it is a sin, how you cannot say the word "saturday" because that is a sin, and so on.
Thank you all for the positive feedbackI recently saw a news story on tv where parents are starting to avoid religion and are teaching science instead.
...and you do not see the hypocrisy in what your trying to do? (In short your trying to remove what you have identified as indoctrine, and are wanting to indoctrinate these kids with what you believe?) How long have you claimed Buddhism as your religion?
It seems like you missed a few major points, less manipulating people with the age of these kids, in helping you is now apart of the saddha.
