[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just say no.  "Mom, we're not going to church.  I'm not going to discuss it with you anymore.  When you're in our house if you bring it up, I'm going to have to insist you leave."

But I don't play games. I really WOULD kick her out.  My stepmother tried to get my DD baptized and I wasn't having it.  She was all "But I've reserved the church!" and I said, "I do not believe in Jesus or Christianity. My daughter will not be getting baptized."  And DH and I never ever left her alone in a room with the baby.[/quote]

Why? It was important to her. It is just water to you. Why not be kind?  I could understand if your child were older. But you said "baby". A baby would only experience it as love.  I guess to me, the relationship would have been more important than making a statement. [/quote]

What? You would let your child participate in a meaningless ritual to please a grandparent?

Do you not understand that to a grandparent who cares about that sort of thing, it would NOT be meaningless? That they would expect the child to continue on that path? It would be countless, "now that you got baptized, how about xyz?"[/quote]
