[QUOTE]Originally posted by happybunny: [QB] To the OP, firstly i would say get rid. This guy should never make such a demand. If it were something he felt strongly about he should of spoken to you about why he felt his child should be muslim. It is all about discussion. My worry would be, if he reacts like this now, how on earth would he be if something he didn't agree with later on would happen. :( Now even though i agree with Kitty and of course children adapt, unfortunately most men don't. Of all the Egyptain men i know (family or friends) they would feel 100% that their children are muslim regardless of the mothers faith because that is the way i they are brought up. Don't get me wrong Kitty ;) but as your son is little, faith doesn't actually come into things. It will only be when your child(ren) get older that problems CAN arise. My husband and i agree on most things when it comes to our children but i do have to put my foot down on some things that he would feel are wrong. For example my children love sleep overs - husband hates it! To him he feels that the children should be here and only here. I see it as fun ie not sleeping, eating rubbish and watching DVDs with mates, i see no harm in it. He worries that there maybe brothers/sisters there - wtf i say! :D I am slowly getting him to give the kids more freedom and trust in them to make the right choices in life. They are great kids and they are rounded and celebrate both islamic and christain feasts. It is hard though and i agree DG, it sure would make life alot easier if we believed the same but hey we don't ;) We did speak about it before we had children and both decided that we would bring them up as decent human beings first and foremost then explain religion later on. This is what we have done but my husband is very different now to what he was when we met early in our twenties. His faith is far more important to him now than it was then, so no matter if you dicuss things early on doesn't always end up the way you think. Does Sam tell his parents that his son is 'open' to religion Kitty? I found it hard when my MIL came and husband felt he should be more islamic and our children should be more islamic - things were hard back then and thankfully my husband realised that what he was doing was wrong. Don't get me wrong my life with my husband is great - most of time. :) As Cheeky ;) said it is all about compromise and that's what we try to do. Our kids have all my best bits and all hubbys best bits :D ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
