[quote=Anonymous]The only way I've figured out how to do it is to  have my child attend Catholic school.  Honestly.  I did, and I was surrounded by a community who had the same beliefs we did.  It was an every day, 24-7 sort of thing, not some boring thing that we attended for one hour every week, under duress.  Also, in school, they weave all the religious lessons into everything, so again, it's not set aside as one boring hour a week when you have to go to CCD with kids you do not even know, who do not go to your regular school.  So, in sum, religious is just kind of always there, ever present, the rhythm of our lives and the background music, so to speak.  It's not some boring awful thing I have to create all by myself for my kids, b/c I have a community of helpers helping me create it.

Before my DD started K at our parochial, I was where you are, b/c she went to a secular daycare and I was like, "Honestly, we cannot even bring in a dippy little kid's book for Show and Tell that talks about Jesus being born in a manger???" b/c this would offend some people.  I felt like I was raising a wolf-child, haha.  It's been a world of difference once she has been in the parochial school, for only 4 months now, but, whew, what a world of difference, and it's sooo much easier on me b/c I don't have to try to do all of this by myself![/quote]
