dyk well, my guess with the whole religion thing with Hayden is that she gets MUCH more exposure to the Christian side.

dyk we are a religious mess here

dyk I grew up as a Methodist and was very involved on my own. Participated in church, youth group, choir, etc. with my parents only attending periodically. It was convenient since we lived across the street from the church.

dyk Phil was raised a Catholic and went to Catholic elementary and high school

dyk when we started having children we searched for a 'middle-of-the-road' religion. I didn't want to be involved in any community or groups thru the church and we figured that we could be anonymous if we brought the girls to Catholic religious classes. We felt that they should have some form of religious education and then could make their own decisions later in life. We dropped them off and picked them up from CCD for years and only went into the church when it was required.

dyk now that they have completed their 'religious educations', I feel just awful about it. It was the wrong decision. Plus, they really didn't get much information at our particular church. Even though I didn't have much religious support myself while growing up I have a much better base of knowledge than they received. They both saw their confirmation as the "end" of church for them when it should have been a beginning.

dyk I just have to find comfort in the fact that we raised them with good values and hope that this will weigh more in their lives than their lack of religion.

DYK- I felt my kids needed a religion to base their future choices on, so being Catholic, we did the Catholic religion.


DYK- Up until this year, it was a total mess with the Church etc, Megan basically learned nothing.

DYK I am in complete agreement with spring *staying* here!


DYK today is looking to be a good day- high sixties and sunny. It was so much easier to get up with the sun shining through the windows!


DYK Tomorrow they want it back up in the 80's!

DYK while our mothers are both spiritual people, neither Chad nor myself grew up with any sort of structured religious experience


DYK while we don't participate or practice in any formal religion,
