grrrrrrrrr............ amola: he is a moron. plain and simple. jerk. butthead. idiot.
ok....my parents live in pennsylvania, so i only get to see them usually once a year when they come out here to visit. i have been taking the kids to church regularly since the butthead and i split, and i wanted to get them baptized in my church (we are both methodists, and it IS a methodist church) while my parents were here next month. said something to him about it several months ago, and he was very cool with it. no problem, he says.
so, i start seeing someone.......
now suddenly, it's "too early" for them to be baptized because they should be able to choose where they want to be baptized. whatever. i was baptized when i was 18 days old for crying out loud. he doesn't think that i should do it (never mind the fact that it is extremely important to my parents who are NOT going backwards in age from their late 70's) but won't discuss it with me.
once again, i'm thinking that his sister has something to do with this (i refer to her as "the meddler"...she just can't stay away) because of the way that he phrased things. i got the kids today, and sarah (5 1/2 year old) announced that she wants to be a mennonite now. just like butthead's sister. go figure. this is one thing that i will fight tooth and nail--my kids will not be mennonite (at least not with that church) as long as i am alive (ok, or until they're truly old enough to make that decsion. that particular church does not allow dancing ("footloose" anyone?) and does not condone adoption of children. wtf?
besides, if both parents are methodist, why on earth would the kids be baptized into another religion? the only thing that he said to me when i first suggested it to him was that he didn't want them to be baptized into the first holy church of the community of freak worshippers or something bizarre like that. i told him no, it would be the methodist church that we've been going to and he said ok.
he needs to start taking some freakin' mood stabilizers or something. i'm so tired of the jekyll and hyde crap from him.
i'm about half tempted to go ahead with the baptism while ma & pa kettle are here and just not tell him about it until it's done and over with.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr........

Re:grrrrrrrrr............ Sad Eyes: Amola~ You CANT let your kids become Mennonites!!! No dancin' come on now!!! :o Just kidding...I will get serious here. How come I never heard of Mennonites until now??? I am familiar with the movie Footloose and if that is what it would be like then that is not only scary but sad.
I agree you X is doing this to try to make you mad. Why? He has moved on right? I guess he just wants you to pine for him. Who knows...either way it's sad that he can't be civil. What is the problem here???? You are both Methodists for christ sake!
Keep your head up Amola! Just remember that this is one of the reasons you divorced him. Thank god you did!!!;)

Re:grrrrrrrrr............ dj: I would ask the pastor if both parents need to agree to baptism. I wouldn't think so...so I say go for it amola...what's he going to do? Unbaptize them?
I am not a hugely religious person, but I did baptize both of my kids while they were babies. My brother was baptized as a lutheran and when he moved in the baptist faith, he was rebaptized. So, if in the future, your kids decide to change faiths, I'm pretty sure that they would go through something like my brother did as well.
And I said it last night, what a dink!!!!
