At the baptism, you say you will bring your child up in the Christian faith and you make a few basic promises to that. If you're not keeping those promises - not even planning to - then you're lying to God and you know it. Lying to God? Your parents want you to LIE to God? Not a good example for your child!
WRT tradition or "just because" - did Jesus go along with tradition just because? Of course not! He overturned tradition to do what was right in the sight of God and you want to do what's right to God and not tradition - now there's something you can't argue with!
Mean Mummy Nelle - no piano standing or tissue eating? How harsh! I can see me having these battles soon; thankfully we're still at the playing and blowing nose stage.
