Grandparents overstepping boundaries. How to deal?
Jul/1010
My husband and I have an 8 year old daughter. We are Baptist. My parents are Pentecostal (dresses, long hair for women, shaving for men, no makeup, etc). I AM NOT TRYING TO TURN THIS INTO A HOLY WAR. My mother is telling my 8 year old daughter that it is wrong to wear jeans, makeup, jewelry, etc. Now, my question is this: Should my mother be telling my daughter this stuff? I mean, our beliefs are so different, but that’s the way it is. I allow my daughter to wear a little lip gloss and stuff, and she wears jeans to school, but Mom keeps telling her that it’s wrong to wear jeans and makeup. What’s your advice?
And, for the record, I was raised Pentecostal and converted to Baptist when I married my husband 9 years ago. He’s went to the same church all his life, and we are not drug addicts or anything like that. Also, PLEASE do not spout of Bible verses at me. If I want to be preached at, I’ll get up in the morning and go to church.
Skye, you have not met my mom. Trying to talk to her is like trying to squeeze ink out of a lemon. It won’t work. We went through this before, and didn’t speak for 6 months. You have no idea how she is.
What do you think about women who wear niqab?

i "dislike" them, especially in Iran, the women there who wore niqab were always undercover religious police, they would arrest and torture people, for example if a girl wore too much makeup, had some hair showing, wore lipstick, they would arrest her and cut/slit her lips or shave her head and beat her, or also if young couples held hands, they were thrown in jail
@bassy, yah thats childs play to what iran does, rape young boys and girls til they die of infection, cut off heads, executions, lineage executions, thats where they kill your whole family for your crime
@stupid persian girl, are you sure you are from iran? where the hell have you been the past 3 months eh? do you know whats going on there? have you ever been there?
