has just dropped him off here, and she is complaining that his dad, (my eldest son) has told him that Adam and Eve had two kids and that one strangled the other. What do you think i should say to her?
It is true she complained about my son telling him the story of cain and abel, and it is true she seems to have no idea that Adam and Eve had kids, what i want to know is what should i say to her? Should i say, 'go away you dozy think woman' ? or should i buy her a Bible for Christmas?
How old is your grandson? Maybe she feels he's a little young to be exposed to the more violent biblical tales?
Or perhaps she doesn't particularly want him exposed to *any* religious stories until he's old enough to understand what religion is. Many parents nowadays prefer their children to have a secular upbringing.
If your grandson is old enough to cope with stories about brothers murdering each other then she's possibly over-reacting. Either way, it's probably best if you have a word with your son and get him to dicuss the matter with her. I know it's tough to bite your tongue in these cases but it's really up to the child's parents to decide on his cultural upbringing.
