re: Granting dying wishes vs going against a parents wishes.

I really don’t get what y’all don’t understand about this. There are two perspectives: grandma and the parents. Is grandma being unreasonable and is the reason for not baptizing correct?

1: grandma. She’s not unreasonable and right or wrong she likely believes the below to be true and believes she is looking out for her great grand kids.

OP Why didn't you baptize your kids? "I want them to make a decision on their own one day" is bull shite. You can baptize them and they could choose later in life to not be a devout Catholic such as yourself. At least, start them on the path.

2: yalls reasoning for not baptizing was so they could make their own decision. If you believed like your grandmother I would question your parenting but it sounds like you don’t. In that case what does it matter whether they are baptized or not.
