[quote=Anonymous]My husband works in environmental policy. The parent of our son’s good friend is a lobbyist for the chemical industry and represents companies my husband’s office has publicly fined and sued. None of that has anything to do with our kids. We just don’t talk about work or politics with that family. That is part of the deal of living in the DMV - not only will people have different political and religious views, they may be powerful people whose livelihood is publicly advocating for policy and laws that are the opposite of your beliefs. As an adult I can choose where I spend my money and who I spend time with - but kids don’t pick their parents and I would never punish or shame a kid for their parents’ beliefs. I would hold a firm boundary if the child was trying to influence my children’s beliefs. [/quote]
