[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ultimately the children themselves will grow up and decide what to believe or not to believe.   Hopefully they will be taught that one of Judaism's most important commandments or mitzvot is "honor thy father and mother" which to me also includes one's spouse's parents.  Regardless of the feelings towards what the in laws did-responding by treating them as diabolical proselytizing Christian oppressors was probably a mistake.  If OP felt comfortable enough with them to leave her kids with them for a week they can't be that bad.   At some point OP needs to wake up and stop being so neurotically insecure or she may find that rather than encouraging her kids to have a healthy understanding of Judaism, she is turning them off to it far more profoundly than a week in summer Bible camp ever could.    Op has to come to grips with her own conflicted feelings towards Judaism as evidenced by her intermarriage which seems to be the real issue here.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. An inter-faith marriage is not evidence of conflicted religious feelings.[/quote]
