[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rock is so selfish and annoying. I hope she gets an ass whooping.[/quote]

It’s great to come out as a trans. But if you don’t agree with having a they mitzvah, you should’ve just said that before the entire party was happening.  Nobody called them out for that. But, as the parent of a difficult non-binary child—my kid would totally have pulled that crap too. [/quote]

Yeah, I wasn't non-binary or trans but I sure was difficult and I would have pulled that on my parents when I was 13, too. I don't think we need to show non-binary and trans characters as being more perfect than anyone else - we don't need them to be perfect angels, any more than we need any other character to be.

I loved that Charlotte got bat mitzvahed. It was lovely.[/quote]

Gay, straight or non-binary, if I had planned that huge event and my kid had decided at the last minute they’re not doing it, there would have been hell to pay.  Life as they knew it would be over. They would need to earn back every single privilege and thing they take for granted. And no, they wouldn’t get extra coddling because they’re non-binary. As far as I can tell, that doesn’t prevent you from having basic decency and consideration for other people.

But it’s a tv show so all was well and nobody cared that the kid was a spoiled brat.

Both of those kids are obnoxious spoiled brats.[/quote]

Actually, if Harry and Charlotte had actually, like, LISTENED not only to their kids, but to the other rabbis who said Rock wasn’t prepared, they would have never kept up the planning and preparation up to the day of the event.

My sister decided on the day of not to be confirmed as a Catholic. She had a crisis of conscience on the morning of. Luckily, I have parents who actually care about faith, religion and their child, not just about throwing some social event, so they supported her 100% even though family had come into town and there was a dinner. And don’t blah blah blah to me about how the party wasn’t as big a deal: Charlotte clearly cares more about throwing parties than true religious and faith-filled experiences.[/quote]

I'm not sure if it's the same though. Maybe it is - I'm not Catholic - but as I understand it, being confirmed is specifically an affirmation of FAITH - so you have to believe in it because that is literally what it is. But that is not what a bar/bat/bnei mitzva is. It is a celebration of something that happens automatically to a Jew on their 12th or 13th birthday - that they become an adult in the eyes of Jewish law. The way most Jews celebrate is by having the honor of being called up to read from the Torah in synagogue, which only adults are invited to do. It's not really about faith, and under Jewish law, as a Jew, Rock has become bnei mitvah whether they want to take part in this celebration or not. So I get that they didn't want to take part in it, and I also completely blame Harry and Charlotte for not listening to them before, but Rock should also have had this particular conversation before the bnei mitzva, not on the day of[/quote]

The reading of a religious text is not…religious? Why not just recite a poem in Hebrew? Oh because it’s religious? If you don’t agree with the teachings of the Torah or the Bible, it would present a moral conundrum to be ashes to read them out loud in public, yes?

Why can’t someone have a moral tipping point on the day if the thing? A bride who realizes she shouldn’t marry the groom should go through with it and lie through her vows because cake/dress/family? [/quote]
