hoobley, i think that's great. i will talk to elouise about different gods and such but not in too much depth unless she wants to. i'll take elouise to church when she's older so she knows what happens there. my aunty and uncle are uniting church. so i'd take her there, as i dislike much of the catholic teachings. when i went to the uniting church with my aunty and uncle at christmas time, i was heavily pregnant and not married to dp. but there was no staring or whispering. everyone was lovely. i didn't know anyone either. i felt so accepted, yet in a catholic church i would be shamed. i'm sorry, i've had bad experiences with catholic church. love thy neighbour really was i'll be nice to your face, yet gossip about you behind your back. anyway, i can get really defensive about my opinions so i'll stop now. elouise can belong to any religion and i'll baptise her if she wants. but it is up to parents how to raise their children so i have no problems with other people choosing their child's religion. i just don't know which religion is best for her, so i'm leaving it up to her. i gotta go, she's awake now.
