I would tell her how much you love her. Bring the kids in to tell her how much they love her. I would say that's up to them though and if she wants to ask them to do it, then that's up to her.
I say that with both kids being baptized before they had any say, however both have also had immersion protestant baptism on their own request.
Let the kids spend some time with their great grandma before she leaves the world. If she pushes it again, I'd just tell her that you aren't down with it. Or continue to change the subject back to herself and get some time with her. I wish I had videoed more of my grandparents and their stories before they left this Earth.

A tough situation.
I was baptized Catholic as a baby, mainly because my father's side of the family were hard-core Catholics. My father wasn't a church goer though, so I grew up going to church with my mother (no pics) who was Baptist. When I was 13, I decided I wanted to join the Baptist church, so I was baptized again. I've never really considered myself a Catholic (even though my aunt says "once you're baptized a Catholic, you'll always be a Catholic!")
Point is, consider doing it. Your kids can always change their minds later. Then again, I understand you and your wife wanting to stick to your guns. Good luck either way, baw.

Baptize those kids man. They can choose later to join another church if they want to. Should have been done when they were 6 weeks old.

Tell her you did....she won't know the difference

And this is what’s wrong with people these days, no God/Religion in their lives leads to no guidance or standard to live by. If you are Catholic then raise your children to be Catholic and follow that religion.

Tell granny that she can’t fight to save the souls of your kids in heaven, but you’re not baptizing them now.

No

I don't get older people.. always wanting to force their beliefs on others. I am sorry about your grandmother, but on a different note we are obviously going to see a decline in this type of behavior very soon once some of these generations die off.

Just have a fake baptism.

Do it. I a heartbeat. Unless you are an utterly heartless individual. It means something to your grandmother. That doesn't mean it has to mean anything at all to you or your children.

we have two kids 5 and 4 who are not baptized. This is by our choice as we want our children to independently make a decision later in life on what religious route they would like to take,
WTF is wrong with you? Baptize your children and LATER IN LIFE, if they decide to stay a different direction, then good or bad for them. You are the parents. You do now what should be done.
Are you gonna let em choose their sex too?

Baptize them for the tuition decrease.
Posted on 3/5/20 at 1:37 pm to TIGERBAIT84
Baptism doesn't mean Confirmation.... You should do it.

Did you let them choose their gender, also?

Tell your grandmother baptism means nothing without faith.
It's true.
It's true.

5 and 4
I guess this is a catholic thing to baptize at this early age, but they would not understand at that age.

I’m sure there’s a lie that can resolve this
Posted on 3/5/20 at 1:42 pm to TIGERBAIT84
Damn, all of y’all have missed it so far.
How rich is granny? Have you seen her will? How much is it worth to her to watch the little frick trophies get dunked in water?

How old are your children? If they are old enough to understand what she is asking, then you should ask them if they want to be baptized. Do not leave them out of that decision.

Should have baptized them at birth. The kids would never know the difference and you wouldn't be having this awkward problem now.
TLDR, time travel.
