[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The title of your post is very interesting and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it.  You say "MY Jewish kids" as opposed to "our Jewish kids."   It makes me think you consider these kids yours and 100 Jewish and don't seem to understand they also come from your husband and his Christian family.  I think the title of the post says a lot about your attitude and how you approach the mixed marriage.  [/quote]
Once again, OP's family is Jewish. There is no Christianity in the home. Some families practice and celebrate multiple religions but OP's family does not. There is no obligation to allow extended family to expose these Jewish children to a camp where there will certainly be daily prayers to Jesus. This is considered very offensive to Jewish families because of the very long history of Jews being forced to practice other religions.[/quote]

[b]But they aren't "my" Jewish kids.  They are "our" Jewish kids.  Don't you see the difference?[/b] [/quote]

Yes but I think "my" was because the post was about OP and her MIL. So "MY" was to make clear that they are not MIL's. "Our" might have sounded from the title that they were raising them together.[/quote]
