[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]WRT to “this is what we do”, I mean we go to Mass when we can, wherever we are and don’t give ourselves a bye week bc there’s hockey or vacation or we are just not feeling it. Just like the “this is what we do” families feel about teaching kids to brush their teeth, pick up trash, vote in every election or count to 3 when they’re mad. The anti Mass people will poke holes and say it’s Bronze Age fairy tales but the Catholic moms here posting seem to get it. But this has all been very humbling and helpful. Thanks all[/quote]

I’m with you, OP.  
I think the people saying that you should give your kids the choice probably wouldn’t feel the same way if your husband told them that they didn’t have to do their homework or take the SATs.

I don't understand that comparison to homework or SATs. Can you expand on that?[/quote]

Sure.  If OP’s husband didn’t feel that homework was important and didn’t make their kids do it if they didn’t want to or were busy doing other things, most people here would be telling her that her husband needs to get on board.  Not that her kids should have a choice on whether or not they do homework.  [/quote]

Suppose the husband wasn't simply passive but actively took the position that the kids shouldn't be raised Catholic. What would you say then?

This isn't a situation where one decision is inherently better than another.[/quote]
