[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protestant or Catholic, it's a once in a lifetime event, and it definitely takes priority over a single sporting event for a young kid. [/quote]

Ususally, but apparently not to OP's husband.[/quote]

Maybe he doesn’t care about the religion? I posted a whole back and no one responded. He could have agreed to a date to keep peace with his wife but doesn’t see the need to make their teen son skip something when no one actually practices this religion and they are only going through the motions. I just made up a story but it’s possible. [/quote]

I wondered about that, especially since it’s her parents. This might be very important to her parents and her side of the family, but not so much to him.  [/quote]OP has already posted that he agreed to this, picked the date, and that his family would be in attendance as well.[/quote]

I saw that [b]but thinking about my extended family, [/b]my parents and sister and extremely religious and so is my MIL. DH and I are not. We thought about baptizing the kids when they were little to ultimately keep the peace and make the family happy and we realized how crazy that was. We still are hearing about it and our kids are teenagers. Not everyone can stand up to their families and do what they actually want. Just because he helped picked the date doesn’t mean he cares. [/quote]The thread isn’t about you. OP said he is supportive of the baptism. Why not take her at her word instead of using your own situation as a response?[/quote]
