So I was talking to Tyler today on the phone about how confused our children are going to be because of our religious/spiritual differences and the fact we're veggies. I'm going to allow my child the option to eat meat and all that stuff, but I'm not promising it'll taste good if I cook it, or anything I cook. But for thanksgiving where the main theme is partly the turkey, neither of us eat that, and I eat fish on thanksgiving, it would be stupid to cook a turkey for one person, but I think it'll be interesting. Besides that though I'm wiccan and Tyler is christian so we have different concepts on holidays and "rituals" and traditions. I guess our children will have the best of both worlds. Just be a little more confused at first.
Anyway my mom knows I'm wiccan and that I don't really celebrate christmas, but that I participate in the gift giving and all that jazz because the rest of my family celebrates it, so it's just easier to go along with it. But I told her today that when I move out and have a place on my own I'll be celebrating my holidays and will acknowledge hers. She got all in my face and was telling I shouldn't even get presents since I don't celebrate Christmas and that I'll one day believe in God. And I told her I wouldn't. And she just kept denying that fact and thinks I'm all crazy and going through a phase, even though I've been Wiccan for a long time. She told me that God would reach me and if he didn't I'd be going to hell. My question is when did my mom become all religious and Godly? I found it really frustrating at the time but now I just find it funny.
I find that my mom and I keep having a constant power struggle. Mainly because she won't let me have my independence of mind. Oh well. I've figured that this struggle won't go away until I'm officially out of the house aka Grad. School.
