[quote=Anonymous]OP, you didn't "force" your children to participate in this family, religious and cultural ritual, but surely you know that many parents do -- as several other posters have noted. You probably have friends who've done exactly that -- did you challenge their choice to do so? Perhaps this difference in parenting styles is more threatening to you since family are involved, but you're going well beyond what would be appropriate for a loving aunt and sister or SIL to do. You've empathized with your niece and raised the issue with her parents. Now you're using her adoptee status as a way to drive a wedge into her relationship with her parents. Can you not simply let this go as a difference of opinion among reasonable and loving people? Get your niece a nice gift and say mazel tov already. [/quote]
