25...I am going to get at this in pieces. HUGS. You're back.

I agree with much of what you say above with regards to Judeo-Christian similarities. I am doing the best I can to not let my own insecurities interfere. I am not a bigot. I grew up with all my Christian friends....my favorite movie is Miracle on 34th St (I believe in Santa myself)...colored Easter eggs and sat on Santa's lap as a kid...went to midnight masses...and embraced my W's return to her religion and even purchased her a Christmas tree. It is her 'pushing the boundary' on her promise that I am trying not to let get to me: she promised to raise the kids this way. The kids were born under one religion, not two....My D5 told me the other day that my MIL told her she was 1/2 each which is NOT true.

BUT....this was something that helped to divide us...my request that she convert prior to marriage:
-"it was a precondition to marrying you"
-"you should never try and change anybody"

Obviously, this is only a small thing in the big picture. Christmas trees and Menorahs don't push you into the backseat of cars in bar parking lots.

I guess, like posts on frank_d's threads....I should still be grateful that I have 2 healthy children for now.

More to come on your post. Hugs. FIB
