I am pretty upset about this and can't tell anyone in real life. Mainly just need to type this out to someone who understands.
DS was staying with the in laws for the weekend. First time as we had a no kids wedding to attend.
I'm non Christian and DH was brought up Christian but does not believe these days. We decided for DS that he would be educated about all religions when older and allowed to decide for himself.
I was shocked to find on our return from the wedding DS and in laws just getting back from church. As it was a Sunday morning they had decided to go apparently. He was blessed at the altar and sat through a 2hour church service.
I was pretty shocked this happened, although DS is still young and won't remember just couldn't believe it.
DH when I spoke to him about it said that they are just old people doing what they know - and that actually they are regular church goers. I didn't know this as when I have stayed with them at the weekend generally they would not go to church. He doesn't want them to know our decision for DS as it would upset them and has not told them nor will he.
I'm just very very surprised at what happened and needed to share. I think the main shock is that they didn't think to ask knowing I am of a different religion and the shock at realising that DH's family are so very religious - have known them for many years.
I worry about how to do the best thing for DS and bringing him up in this mixed background.
Sorry just needed to vent.
