[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key words here "have to".  DH is not religious, I am not Christian.  DH goes to church on Christmas because his parents are very active in it, I went the first few years we were together, but have not gone since (it's so awkward and uncomfortable for me).  This year, the in-laws told us that we have to take our DD to church to show her off.  DH said "well, maybe we'll bring her before or after the service, she surely won't sit through the whole thing [six months old]" and FIL came back with examples of three different families with  young children who will be at the service.  DH reiterated that she won't make it through the service (it's at 6pm and a looong service, there's no way my six month old is sitting through it, come on!!) and FIL has not yet relented.  I'm not asking for advice, because we're not taking the baby to the service and my in-laws are going to blame it on me, even though DH said it without even talking to me, I just needed to vent.  Thanks for listening!![/quote]

Obviously, church is important to your DH's parents. Their grandchild is also important to them. It makes sense they'd want to show her off at the church, where they are surrounded by people who matter to them.

What's the big deal? You sound terrible and stubborn. There really is no harm in this.[/quote]
