Hi all, pretty new here but it seems there are many veteran step mums here who have been through all what we are going through before, so hopefully someone will know the answer to my question.
DSC live with us and DP half the time. I take my DD to Sunday school and she loves it, although I am not religious myself. DSC would like to go, they can have a good time alongside their step sibling, make new friends and join in lots of other activities run by the church too such as half term fun days.
Their mother has said she doesn't consent. Well she said much more than that but it all amounted to her saying no way. DP wants them to go. She says he can't make decisions regarding religion without her. He is not deciding their religion (he is also non religious) and is not having them baptised or anything. It's just a Sunday school. Daft thing is that one DSC already goes to a church Pre school but she obviously isn't bothered by that or hasn't realised. However she has moaned at DSC for saying a cute little "grace" and dinner time that DSC learnt there.
Anyway. What do you think? DP never tries to interfer in what she does with DSC time with her and feels she is being way over the top about this. However, he doesn't want to do something a court will see as wrong. Things are currently very difficult and have been for some time, he is very aware that their agreement (which was made out of court) may be taken to court in a full blown residency battle at any time and he doesn't want to give er anything she can use to "score points" against him. That's sounds childish but hopefully you get my point.
Opinions/advice welcome.
