[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not understanding why you can't stand up for yourself and just tell your mom you will not be saying grace, and you will be handling your child's religious education. Yes she's being pushy, so it's now on you to establish boundaries.[/quote]

I’ve tried. She keeps pushing it.[/quote]
You just have to push back politely every time and end conversation. Similar wording every time. "Mom we discussed this already. Saying grace and praying before bed is not going to be part of my child's Jewish religious education". "How about the smiths new car?" [/quote]
This.  Can’t believe the posters who are arguing with you and telling you to give in on this, but whatever.  Tell her you don’t want to discuss it anymore and every time she mentions it, say “we’re not talking about this anymore.” Every single time. It will be annoying, but she’ll get it eventually. Stop explaining, stop defending yourself, stop engaging on this topic. She’s your mom, so assume it comes from love, so speak in a kind, respectful tone of voice, but keep it the same “we’re not talking about this anymore, mom. Have you heard from aunt Betsy lately?”[/quote]
