[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m also an atheist. You should let your 6th grader decide. She is not being excluded, you are the one excluding her. So you should have the wherewithal to explain why you have decided she is not allowed to do this, and what is the super important principle that is at stake. [/quote] +1 It’s also important to teach her to respect other cultures and traditions. Just because you follow a tradition in someone’s home doesn’t mean you are going to adapt it in yours. You are also sending a message that your beliefs regarding religion are correct (vs having an open mind and learning about other viewpoints, the point of these visits). The visits will tied into history and modern things and one aspect is the number of disagreements and wars caused by lack of open mindedness. I’d really hope you rethink what you’re modeling to your dd. I say this as an atheist. [/quote]
