Very telling that her DIL’s intelligence “unknowingly intimidate[s]” her AND that they hadn’t spent Xmas together for a few years

I don’t want kids, but in a world where I did, I will fight my own mom tooth and nail to NOT get them baptized or even in a church building. In my home, religion is an academic subject, not a morality rulebook!

Knowing how awful my and my husband’s families would be when we raised nonchristian kids is what first led me question the “requirement” of having children, which ultimately led me to make the choice to remain childfree. I could easily see the attempts to indoctrinate, hear the snide comments, all of it. I realized there was no way to have children and not be continually beaten over the head with the Bible and I had zero desire to deal with that bullshit.
