[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the sports tournament would not happen in my family. Full stop.

Years from now, you will remember the christening - you will have family pictures and talk about the day. I guarantee you that your child and husband will not remember that exact sports tournament years from now.

This exactly.  The baby will ask where was dad.  for sure.  There will be MANY more soccer games, but only one christening.

If true your older child is seven, it is crazy to miss a Christening for a soccer game.[/quote]

Maybe or maybe not. I can’t remember ever seeing photos of my baptism or caring to see them. I am not looking at old photos to see who was there or who wasn’t.

My husband and I grew up in strict Catholic families so you could say we are the same religion. Neither of us feel strongly about it now and I am definitely less religious than him. None of our kids are even baptized because we never got around to it. So yes, if he scheduled a baptism for a much younger child and we had a teen in a tournament I’d probably go to soccer. The baptism would be checking a box for extended family to me. My older kid would actually be missing out on something meaningful.

Do you know if your husband feels strongly about your religion or is just going along with the motions to keep peace? [/quote]
