[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you left due to the stance of the church and its preaching but still love your friends, fine. Sounds like these mom’s nights might be bigger groups. If your particular church preferences come up, decline to answer. “Ah, personal decision by me and DH. How is your little Larlo’s basketball season going”. Rinse and repeat. If it becomes onerous after one or two get togethers, reach to the women you are friends with to clearly say their relationships are important to you but the environment of those particular gatherings doesn’t work.

Maybe I don’t understand why you can’t have friends via multiple parts of your life?[/quote]

I get it.  It’s like if you are in a group of people who love doodles, and you decided to put your doodle down because you think they are a dumb breed.  
You can maybe hang out with people from that group one on one because you appreciate each other as people and talk about other things. 
But it’s going to be hard to get together with the group.  The thing that unites the group is the love of doodles, and everyone there knows that you don’t have it.

Sorry but, WTF?!!

Did you just suggest that someone would kill their own dog because they spontaneously decided that “they are a dumb breed”?[/quote]

My cousin did.  It wasn’t a doodle.  It was a French bulldog.  She said that the dog had health problems and that it wasn’t a good fit for her family.  But she’s told me privately that she thinks the breed is riddled with health issues and isn’t a good breed for any family.

I don’t judge her, but I know her and love her for a lot of reasons that have nothing to do with her dog.
