Gotta miss the cruise in :(

[beefcake]

Well,

I'm married to a catholic, and I guess i'm still learning all the stuff we gotta do all the time

I was raised baptist and have a strong faith in god, i don't go to church much and rarely go to church with her as i honestly feel it's so repetitive and i don't get a message there at the catholic church, just me no offense to the catholics on here lol

i knew if we had a rainout, i'd be late as it's my daughters first communion, which i have had communion at baptist and non denomination churches, so, i planned on sucking up a sunday morning til 12 or 12:15

i mentioned something to the wife about needing a decent day to clean the car good next week for the cruise and she said "your still going" and i was like of course,

and then she said i would miss the party? i'm like what party, she's like first communion party,

so, i guess my wife has invited all the inlaws to my house like it's thanksgiving or a bday or something

so, of course i'm mixed, as a dad, obviously i want to do thinks for my family, as a non catholic, i guess i think it's kinda silly

it just seems to me that a lot of the catholic stuff i see is all about repetition and putting on a front

in my wifes family there is never any discussion in "faith" or "god", but when sunday comes from 11-12, it's all about "gotta get my dose in"

so as she was just walking out for an earlier dose a sec ago, she says the party is at 2, maybe i can sneak out for an hour, or maybe we can move the party a little later

i'm the type, that even if it's not important to me, if it's important to her, i'll suck it up

but if it's important to me and she doesn't have interest in it "it's stupid" lol

i guess thats just wives though,

dohhhhhhhhhhh

Well man, i can relate about not getting the message. To me it seems that it's like, you live life how you want and simply repent your sins and say some Hail Mary's and you're all set...but i don't know maybe that's just the message i've gotten and i have it all wrong.

You gotta do what's best for the family though man...cruise ins come twice a year, this only comes once apparently.

Someone mentioned a mid summer cruise in once...i think that'd be awesome.

maybe we can move the party til dinner time, i can't imagine it's more than immediate family as i would assume all the other lil catholics are having their own party too ????

The things we do for Love !!!! LOL

[Pops Fun]

Hi
As we all know family comes first.... hopefully you can slip away for a while!!

[R825OH]

I'm sure you will "run out" of something..gotta go to the store be back in an hour!!!

[beefcake]

i'm trying to talk the wife into a 4 or 5 oclock party

it's probably her parents and grandparents anyway lol

[mustangjon]

Well as a parent myself, kids only do certain things once in their lives. But on your other hand since your wife and you share different faiths, I would think the compromise of moving the party would be something that wouldnt offend either side.

of course this is coming from someone his is agnostic.

Ah yes, I remember why I'm not Catholic anymore. 20 years of that nonsensical crap. Seemed like it was more for the show, than the real reason to be in church.
Every mass the same thing.

1. Walk in
2. sit down
3. stand up, half ass singing begins (sounds more like cult chanting)
4. sit down
5. stand up
6. sit down
7 stand up again.
8. kneel (this sucks when you have bad knees, I usually kept my ass on the seat behind me a little bit to help take the pressure off)
9. More random chanting
10. Communion (I liked this part, it was like a time keeper to me. I knew at this point I only had 10 more minutes MAX)
11. walk to your seat
12. sit down
13. stand up
14. Walk out, act an ass all week
15. Feel bad, repeat next Sunday.

it least its not like some churches where everyone is jumping around singing & stuff like a circus:lol:

[Jaylynn]

lol - if it's catholic, there will at least be some beer at the party :-)

Seriously though - it is usually a family day usually with some get together after church - there's gifts & everything... (exciting things like rosaries\prayer books)....

I'm sure you'll work something out - but either way - you're with family or you get to do both & go to the cruise-in too - whichever it is will be good.

I wondered how Catholics are not all thin. I have went to a couple Catholic weddings and I was flat out tired at the end!

i'm like what party, she's like first communion party,

your not kidding are you?

Well Catholics sure know how to have a good time out of church. My whole extended family is Catholic, so I still get to partake in that mayhem.

[myownr]

my wife is catholic and I feel your pain. I can say though we do not regularly attend church (thank god as it is the only day I can sleep past 730). I think it was because my last remarks to her while in church a long time ago. The first was when she got on her knees to prey and I said under my breath thank you lord for teaching catholic girls to get on thier knees for their husband, another time when they were collecting I looked at the basket and said no wonder you can have fish fries all the time, those nets could catch moby dick and the third strike was when I asked her if the father would mind if I brought my own brand next time.
