[quote=Anonymous]OP, we’re in a similar boat. This is the first year we’ve had a lot of sports conflicts on Sunday. We’re a go every week to church family. And frankly, if I gave my kid a choice, she’d never go. What kid wants to go to church? I never did, but guess what? My dad taught Sunday school for years and my mom was Sunday school director for years and out butts were in church every Sunday for years, practically year round. I’m not a zealot and I don’t resent it. I did leave it for awhile in college (I feel like that’s normal…? I also didn’t have a car, so no way to get there for awhile but I did miss it).

That being said, with my own kid, sometimes we will split it up….we’ll go to a game and miss church; the next time it happens, we’ll go to church and miss the game. She seems ok with this and the coach knows why we’re missing. We’re not the only ones who do this. I swear, some of you people spewing all the hate 🤦🏻‍♀️

Religion is important to us but so is the sport she’s chosen so we make it work the best we can. If she’s plays at a higher level, we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
