What harm would baptising the kids do? It will literally have no impact on their earthly lives.
Kids are not props to casually be used in religious sacraments you twat.

It absolutely will have an impact. They'll be far less inclined to take religion seriously down the road and they'll possibly resent or not respect their parents when they figure it out.

I remember when we had our first kid, and my moms asked me if the child could spend Friday nights with her. I didn't see an issue but discussed it with my wife. We agreed neither of our parents should have expectations like that, and we shouldn't set that precedent. When two people get married, it's no longer me, mom, brothers, grandma, and the new wife. It's me and the wife. Our life. I would tell my grandma that I made a decision with my wife to live our lives a certain way, just like I'm sure your grandmother and grand father did. She should be proud to take that to her grave.

Are you serious with this shite? If they aren't raised religious the fact of their baptism will not weigh on them ever.

I don't think he could find a priest or deacon to do the baptism, but that is beside but I don't know one who is irreligious because they were baptized as a child.

Don't baptize them and tell her you did. Win-Win. Problem solved.

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.


Ok, say i baptize them this Sunday. Wouldn’t I be a bad parent if I don’t bring them mass the next Sunday?

My point being is that my wife and I are NOT practicing religious people. We do however support our children in any of their wishes. Both of my kids go to a local Baptist preschool which teaches great morals and values that are backed by their religious beliefs. We support every belief and story our kids say they learned at school. We do not scoff at them even while we do not believe them. We actually help our kids farther their education on these things that they are taught when they request more info.

We are not limiting our kids exposure to anything, just like we are not pushing it upon them.


I will say with 100 certainty that if either of my kids would ask right now to be baptized then present to me sound reasoning that makes sense and shows that HE independently made that decision I would have the necessary things aligned for him immediately. I would also make sure that he knows that I am proud of him for his decision.

If you don't raise your kids with a religion, how do you expect them to choose a religion later in life? They are missing the exposure. If they are raised with some type of religious beliefs while young, they can always reject those beliefs when they are older if they so choose...but not as easy the other way around


Why is not as easy the other way around?

Hopefully the last thing she does on the earth is sneak your kids out behind your back and have them baptized.

Thus far you have been bad parents. Change that. Baptize your children.

Did you let them choose their gender, also


I won’t tell them who they will have to marry. Where they will have to work. What farther education they will have to go learn.

To answer your question however yes I did determine their gender. X and Y chromosomes combined to make two males.

What kind of catholic doesn't baptize their children after they're born ? Not raising them catholic is a mistake on your part. I bet they choose their bedtime too. How many different meals do you prepare each night for 2 kids and a wife ? I bet 3. DO SOMETHING !

You and your wife sound like good parents. Shitty situation for granny to put y’all in. Don’t beat yourself up regardless of how it turns out

You're missing the point on this entirely. This isn't the context of a simple irreligious household, it's the reality of what the following sequence would likely do to a 4 and 5 year old's perception of religion and their parents in the long-term.

"We're going to let you all make choices on religion when you're older."

Next week out of nowhere: "We changed our thinking on this, we're going to have you all partake in the first sacrament of Christianity right away."

Next month: "I know it is confusing but you don't need to worry about church anymore."

If the above goes down, the kids end up confused in the short-term and locks for agnosticism/atheism when they're older.

Cackle maniacally when you tell her "NO!" Then never visit her again, since you hate her anyway it shouldn't be a problem.
