Mandy - I cannot say that growing up I followed the Jewish religion. We were a non-practicing family. I never had any formal religion education. My husband did not influence me to convert either. Actually, I think it was my own sister who had convinced me that certain beliefs that I do have was actually a belief in God. My husband and I had agreed to teaching our children both of our relgions, however I cannot teach them something I know nothing about. I went to classes and converted to Catholicism.
I have talked further with my daughter. It seems that it is only the teacher she has issues with. The girl is only 16, cannot control the class and when she is not there her mother teaches. My daughter said she cannot understand the mother's accent. The school is on vacation now, so when they return, I am going to go speak with the ladies in the office and see if anything can be done for this year. My purpose of sending her to these classes is so that when she is older she has a basis to make a decision on. I have never once mentioned to her that I am not sure what I believe. I also do not want her growing up not knowing, like me, and be confused at age 36.
I really appreciate all of your honest responses. This is something I do not have much experience in, since my parents never taught me religion of any kind. I knew it was a good decision to post my question here.
