To start off, my husband and I are planning to start trying for children this October. Its an exciting thing, but its also a bit terrifying to someone as socially inept as I. There's suddenly a lot of worries to keep me awake and one of the biggest is raising the children in a pagan home when my side of the family is chocked full of various types of pagan-fearing catholics. So I come to this lovely, insightful, mind opening site with many MANY questions on the matter for you folks with children or peeps who were raised pagan.
Have you ever had issues taking your child out of school for your respective holidays?
If your child suffers harassment or bullying because of their religion, how do you deal with it?
How do your child's teachers, classmates, and the parents of their classmates act when they find out your religion?
Have you ever been threatened with or been the victim of violence for raising your child as a pagan?
Do you expect your child to remain the same religion as you, or are you comfortable with them following their own path (even if its a religion you don't like)?
If you had to break the news to your family about your faith, how did you help it go smoothly?
If you were raised pagan, what joys and trials did you face and how did you deal with them?
I'm sure I'll come up with LOTS more questions as this thread progresses.
