Hi K.. I am a 32 year old SAHM, and I feel like I can really offer you some insight to your question. I was raised by two born again Christian parents...and forced to go to church every week for my entire 18 years at home. My parents did the best they could, but they never gave a second option. As a young adult, I tried to follow their faith, but just had too many issues with it...and they had issues with me not following it. This put a major strain on our relationship for years. I am now agnostic. I have felt incredibly angry at "God" or the concept of "god" for putting such a strain on my relationship with my mom and dad. My advice is to just be a good role model for your kids. too much force will absolutely turn them away. They know that your faith is important to you...and you have done all that you could to train them in it. It is hard for kids to really comprehend the importance of faith..but if you just show them a positive parent who finds comfort and grace in God without forcing, I think you have the best chance of them considering your religion in their adult years. Good luck to you. Although I am agnostic, I know how very important faith is to those that believe. You have done your part, now just have faith that you raised good kids, and let them see how positively your faith has helped you by example, not force!
