First I like to wish u happy bday.
Really wan to thank u for trying hard to give us a good life. But I really hope the good life is not simply materialistic. I just wan us to be happy together.
Sorry that I cannot agree with ur mom bringing bb to temple. Not that I'm against u being a good son, but I've my opinions. If u don mind, pls hear me out
1) temple is full of ash in the air, incense smell even in air con.
2) mom is doing many things on the religious end, the last thing I wan to know is she feed bb ash water again. Well I believe god will still bless us even if we don drink ash water.
3) temple is an escape route from dad. If bb goes temple half the time, dad won get to spend time with bb, leaving him home alone, dinner alone.
4) temple has too many distractions. In fact going out if hse so late is not ideal esp near slping time, bb tends not to eat well or slp at usu time. It disrupts his feeding and resting time routine.
Like u say, I'm the mother, I should b able to decide for my son till he can mk his own decision. But aso we agree many times that we as a couple, parents should speak the same language. Hence if u r not supportive of my thoughts then whatever I tell ur mom now, is simply being unreasonable to u. If u wan to b a good son, I on the other hand wans to b a good wife and a good mother who protects the family as a whole instead of encouraging disparity.
