[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If mom said grace for herself in front of your family, would you be offended.  If mom wants to publicly practice her religion by saying grace, no one else has to join in.  Maybe just acknowledge to your child that grandma does not practice (or have the same faith beliefs) as yourself and grandpa.  It would be odd that she would have to that part of herself hidden.  Tell her you respect that, but don’t evangelize your child.  She may have been waiting a long time for this freedom.  Now that she’s held up her end by helping you establish yourself as Jewish, she’s ready to focus on herself.  [/quote]

That’s not what’s going on.

She’s pushing us to say grace on our own, even when she’s not here.[/quote]

I’m offering a suggestion you can give her.

Mom, I’m not teaching my kid to say grace, but you’re welcome to say it whenever you wish —even when we’re together for meals.  However, don’t expect us to join you.

Explain to your kid why you’re not joining grandma, but yiu respect grandmas right to practice her own faith traditions.[/quote]
