we haven't but I can imagine the difficulty. I know that they disagree with my food fascism (only organic, very picky, dd's a veg and so am i) and many other things so I can just imagine.

I think this is one where your spouse has to step up to the plate and put his/her foot down. Otherwise you become the evil spouse. spouse can say that this is something that you'll expose your kids to, and not them. A united front is probably the only way to crush this, imho.

we decided to expose dd to religion, even though I'm truly a secular humanist. we go to church once a month, we had her baptised episcopalian, but for family reasons and to add to the worldwide anglican church. This way she can know about it but make her own decisions about church, whether to go, what to believe if anything. I think it surprised people that we would do this (not to mention getting up to go to church routinely), but I would be livid if someone were trying to impose their idea of religion on dd.

I wish you luck-it's a tough place to be.
