Confused.........
Grrr, I'm really angry and upset...........but I don't know if I'm in the right or the wrong :(
Matt and I just had an arguement.....
Ava starts school next year, and as I'm Catholic, I want to send her to St Macartans, but Matt wants her to go to a regular school. (obviously, Matt isn't religious).
He has known I"m catholic the whole time we have been together, but it's only been the last year or so that I have been going to church each week and really taking an interest in my religion.
Matt has allowed me to get the girls baptised and he lets Ava say her prayers each night, but he believes that is enough (if not too much).
I want her to go to Sunday school (especially if he's not going to let her go to a catholic primary school), but he says no.
I haven't even had the guts to tell him that if she goes to a public school she will have to do a course of study at the church once a week in order to get confirmed.
As soon as I brought up the subject of St Macartans, he said no straight away! Even when I explain that I honestly believe she will get a better education there (as it's semi-private). He says no. He says that I know that he's against religion and that as Ava is his daughter too, i need to conceed on this.
What I said to him and what I honestly believe is that it can't do any harm.
They are taught by normal teachers, not nuns, and the religion thing isn't a huge part of it.
I don't see how it can hurt her. When she is old enough to make up her own mind about religion, she can decide she doesn't believe or want's to be some other religion, that's fine by me.
I think by Matt saying no, he is denying Ava a better education than she would get at a public school :(
.........Grrrrr
Am I being totally selfish? Am I in the wrong?
