I am an English Christian ( although none practicing) and my partner is an Egyptian Muslim, we have been together for several years and are now expecting our first baby in September. Would love to hear from any others in mixed cultural relationships who have had children. Have you encountered any problems in raising your children? ie, not agreeing on parenting / discipline? Although my partner isn't a strict muslim he does have some very strange views at times, we are already having problems with the name of the baby, I have agreed that she can have a muslim first name but then he also wants her to have his first name, his fathers first name and his grandfathers first name, I know this is normal in his culture but I personally find it cruel to give a girl boys names! Can anyone give me advice on any other foreseeable problems that may arise?
