DD doesn't want to go to church any more

First-time poster here...

My three dd's have been coming to church with me every Sunday their entire lives (dh doesn't come).

It's increasingly being a struggle to get my eldest dd (aged 14) to come. She always says she has too much homework or she wants to meet her friends. Today after we got back she said that the youth Sunday school was so awful that she never wants to go again and she doesn't believe in God.

She's had one of these anti-church "episodes" (I know that's the wrong word I just can't think of another) every few years, but has always calmed down and come back to church before.

Am I being unreasonable to make her come with me? I don't want to force her if she truly doesn't believe, but my faith is so important to me and my church family have been so supportive at difficult times of my life. I just want her to have that support too.

Morning all,

Thanks for all your reports.

Can we ask for some Peace and Love, please? We've no reason to doubt that OP's genuine, and we can also see that she's cleared up the Vicar/Minister confusion - so could we draw a line? We'd hate to have to remove the thread.

If anyone has any further worries at all, just hit the report button and let us know.

Thanks Flowers
