[QUOTE]Originally posted by Demiana: [QB] consider the other way around. You're husband wants you to inforce fasting on you're children. I know it is an issue in our marriage. But I see mothers and sometimes fathers feeding their small children during service all the time, and from colleagues and friends (not only orthodox but muslims too) I know there are so many different ways people attend fasting or don't. If they want something really bad they can really fast!:-) I took dh to our churchfather and he explained to him that fasting should not be forced upon children but that you have to enjoy the fasting yourself and invite you're children to join if they can. If they can't, they are children you need to be compassionate. And yes mother's tend to be softer than fathers and I can remember times where I would provide for children where he would not have fed them. Would he ask you to inforce fasting on you're children his way? Can you do that? My husband can fall for rigid thinking, control and insecurities but I have my full rights as a mother and parent to join in, be their advocate in times and mellow him down. Can we look at the promise you made? Kids should be raised muslim, but since you are no muslim yourself, they will also have you added. Something he might not have realised at all. You have to tell him that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
