So the other week, my mom told Elijah that church wasn't a choice while I was in the bathroom getting ready--apparently there was some complication getting ready and he said he wasn't going. I told him if he didn't behave and couldn't get ready on time, he would have to stay home with Granddad and Uncle Jason. He protested and my mom and I got into an argument about letting church be a choice.
Now the tables have turned. He's asking to go to church even when it's not time and wants his dad to bring him home early on his weekends so he can attend church. I talked to my mom about this and she said that that's his right. I swear sometimes I think my mom is bipolar--mental illness runs in my family.
Anyway, I don't understand her at all! On one hand she says one thing...on the other she totally contradicts herself! What's the deal?!?!
I've been asking her for a couple of weeks to talk to her boss--she's a secretary for a family court lawyer--and now this week he's on vacation. Well I think I'm going in the phone book tomorrow and finding a family court lawyer or legal aid or something and get their opinion on the matter! In today's world of religious tolerance, there's got to be SOMETHING allowing me to choose to have my son attend service with me.
Before we split, both of us sat down and talked about things--the way we would raise him, what he would be allowed to watch on tv, etc. Now everything has changed now that he doesn't believe in God anymore. He's playing swords with him--we agreed no weapons as toys, he doesn't want him to attend church--he was very into church before he even moved out here, and that's just the beginning. I mean, whatever! I don't tell you not to teach him Japanese do I? (Who teaches their kid Japanese--especially when they're as American as they come! He has no ancestry in Japan...)
And technically he doesn't get him on the weekends anyway, so I could tell him that I want to switch back to that schedule. The only problem there is that now I have Elijah doing the preschool program at daycare and he would miss out on that. I figure if we go to modify from the weekday schedule back to the weekend schedule, it may be able to be modified to include Elijah at home for Sunday worship.
Have I mentioned yet that I really can't stand MEN!!! I don't understand the male race--and yes, I did say race. I don't believe they're human at all!

Oh hunny you do make me laugh! If Eli wants to go to church then surely his dad could be a bit more flexible about the days/ times he has him? Or if not could you attend at a different time to when you usually go? Nowhere does it say mass (or whatever it is you attend)has to be on a sunday morning. Hope you get something sorted. Have a nice weekend X
