lately, I have been thinking about it alot and I really regret not sending my kids to a multi denominational school as everytime I have to go to mass (funerals, weddings etc.) I sit there and think, is this really happening, all these grown people chanting like cult members (I don't wish to insult any religious person btw these are just my own personal opinions) but if I did send them to a multi denominational school, it would be awkward as there isn't one in my area so it would be a bit of a trek plus they wouldn't have friends in our area.

Don't you think sometimes we do things to please the older members of the family?My nan would not let me in her house until I had been 'churched'(I didn't even know what she meant)I found out that after you give birth you go to church to be blessed(this must be so alien to some members)so I had to do this before I could go back in her house after I had my first child,lol,wonder if any other members have heard about being 'churched'.I agree with you about the schools btw.
