Apparently I can't state opinions of a religious nature in front of my father. For a guy that hasn't set foot in a church in my lifetime he's pretty pro-religion.
I learned a long time ago debating religion with others is pointless & stupid. You'll never change someone's faith, or lack of faith.

Waiting for my mom to cone get us. I need to get my darn license. I'm sick of being shuttled around all the time, and stuck at home when no one can drive me places. Ugh.
Smudge is going to get so spoiled today.
I can't imagine anyone else is possibly sick of shuttling you around all the time...
It's not like I bug people for rides all the time. My mom picks us up on Sundays because she wants us to come over. Other than that DH drives me to work and runs errands with me.
At least you're on CD2. I'm on 11 and there is no way sex is happening. Hope you feel better soon!
Really?
I'm just saying you have time to get through it (sorry about CD2). I'm sitting here with all the signs sayig we should have all the secks and my vag is like nope. Not happening. I basically feel like this cycle is a bust unless it goes away asap.

All I said was that religion doesn't belong in public school. If you want religion in your child's school, send them to Christian/Catholic school. Everyone's happy. He disagrees, and says that part of the reason kids today are so screwed up is the lack of religion in school/life. So apparently all atheists are bad people? OK dad. Whatever

So then you're not sick of people shuttling you around all the time? Because like 3 seconds ago you said it's all the time. Make up your mind.
I worded that badly. I'm sick of not being able to drive myself places.

I assume you knew his stance on that? Where is religion in public school? I haven't been in school in many years but the only time I recall religion being involved was at my private boarding school, never in public school. DD goes to public school & I don't know of anything religious there either.

I think it really depends where you are. I grew up in a small town in Indiana and there was definitely religion (christianity) in my school.

Huh. Like...you learned about creationism instead of evolution? You had prayer in school? You attended church at school? This is foreign to me, how does this work?

I think it's regional, and also old. The only time God was mentioned when I was in school was in the national anthem.
He's apparently just in an argumentative mood today. He jumped down my throat because I think it's rude that anytime a woman mentions illness, emotion, or babies everyone and their dog assumes that they are pregnant, and proceeds to ask about it.

There was quite a bit of group prayer going on, homework assignments focused on the bible, creationism and evolution in biology, but we could opt to skip the evolution section if our parents were against it. A lot of small stuff. I was atheist from a very young age and my family was Baha'i, so I noticed a lot more of it. Especially the homework assignments. I knew nothing about the bible and was expected to understand all these stories. It was ridiculous.

That is actually a very political comment... yet another thing I was taught to avoid in mixed company.

Interesting. I've never heard of that happening in a public school.

I didn't know my parents were considered mixed company. Especially since 98% of the time my dad and I agree, and my mom is the lone dissenter

That means your in mixed company, IMO. If I know that someone in my party (regardless of whether they are in my family or not) doesn't agree with me politically, I won't broach the topic. Also, if you can't stand the idea of your dad or anyone not talking to you because of your political opinion, that is another sign you shouldn't bring up something that can be a controversial topic.
We are at my in laws and all my little neices and nephews are playing with skateboards and rolling down the sidewalk. DH was teaching the youngest who is three how to balance on the board. It is precious. Earlier during the easter egg hunt DH came up to me and whispered "I. want. a. baby." It is so sweet to watch him with them.

Any time you respond to someone's hurt or pain with, "well at least you____," know you are probably just going to cause further hurt or pain. I would LOVE to be on CD11 right now. Instead I have to wait another 2 weeks before we can try again.
ETA: I'm sorry for what you're going through, but you could have posted your frustration about your situation without comparing it to mine.

Eh... mixed company normally means mixed gender (or age). It harks back to the time when men could have serious and political conversations or tell sexist jokes, but not in front of the women and children. I agree that politics and religion aren't normally the best subjects at the dinner table, but, I hope we are past the time when women can't participate in such conversations.
My dad likes to make absurd political comments to get me riled up. I rise to it every time, but I also enjoy the debates. Family dynamics can be weird.
