Have you ever dealt with being judged by other parents for how you handle religion? My partner and I are not very religious, so our kids do not attend church. I recently discovered that some of my son's friends' parents have been talking about it. We teach our kids about different religions when it's appropriate.

I feel like in Private school, you are judged for no being all-in in the religious community of choice. In public schools, you are looking down for being a person of faith and not being an absolute social liberal.

No room in the middle anymore.

Just go different church and figure out one that fits you family. Kids should have some idea of a spiritual power

Good point

Ugg. Live in a place that’s not awful.

Divorced (and remarried)- My kids attend a catholic school. My ex pretends to be Catholic. I am agnostic; raised Baptist. They are also not Baptized - which is apparently a big deal for a 7 year old.

Every day I drop off and/or pick up my kids, every PTA meeting, every teacher one-on-one, our family dynamic is overtly judged by some staff or family.

I give a shit. If it doesn’t protect, feed, or pay for my kids environment, then it’s opinion is irrelevant.

Keep your head up, and focus on your team. Everything irrelevant fades away over time.

My partner and I don’t discuss religion, just deliverables.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

So recently my SO has been accusing me of being in control of when we are intimate (sex and cuddling). She says that every time she wants to I say no - and whenever I want to - she says yes. So it's by default doing whatever I want when I want. It's a gross exaggeration of what's happening - but does anyone ever deal with something like this? How do you say no to something like that - without your partner thinking you're just looking out for yourself or you're controlling?
