Cate, it's fantastic that you have thought so much about this. I've always been interested iin the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism as there is so much wisdom in there, especially about just getting on with things and the path of least resistance. Putting some of those ideas into practice does help life a lot. That said, I am bringing DS up as an Anglican because I believe that's best for him. With religion, as with anything else to do with parenting, we make the choices we believe are best for our children.

BTW and totally off-topic; you should pop over to the Feb 2007 Baby Buddies - I haven't seen you in there. It's great to chat about what babies of a similar age are doing. Your Elouise looks gorgeous so she'll fit right in with all the other stunners in the group.
