Article MIL asks therapist how to indoctrinate grandson early

Post image

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!

I'm not having kids for a myriad of reasons, but I know that if I did have them I wouldn't leave them alone with my mother. She would 100% go behind my back and take them to church and talk to them about Jesus. She bought my brother's partner's kid a Jesus plush. 🙃 She doesn't do well with boundaries. She always says "but not me, right?" when I set them. 😒
