[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is your atheist MIL insisting to have time on a religious holiday that you observe? This is really weird.

No, you don't owe the time to her. And your DH needs to support this big time.

What was your discussion about religion going into the marriage? Neither DH nor I are particularly religious, and we grew up in very different religions. Still, culturally my family's religion is important to the way I grew up, while his family's is not. He accommodates our religious traditions always...because it's also just our family traditions.[/quote]

That’s weird to force him to do your traditions and not do his. Very weird.[/quote]

Sounds like DH doesn't want to celebrate those traditions.  So not weird, it's up to him to celebrate them.

We are not religious.  We come from different religions.  We accommodate family traditions from both sides, as each parent sees fit/feels is important.  Our kids didn't learn DH language---DH didn't speak it at home or look for classes/activites to expose the kids to it.  That's not my job---if it was important to him, he would have found a way to include it.  I'm not opposed to it, just not going to drag my kids to sat/sunday classes myself---if it's important to him he would have found some, and managed it
