In-laws visiting for a few days - Not good

[Sun Sprite]

Good morning. My Husbands parents will be here a few days. They are radical Chrisitans, I am not. They don't know my chosen path. I just hope they manage to not drive me nuts the next few days. I may not be on much, as I still have lots to do to get ready. Oh the joys of being a work at home housewife. The good news is: one of my foster dogs found a good home last night.

Awww....I hope you stay sane and don't hurt anybody ;). Yay for finding a good home for your dog!!

:hugz:

Good luck! I know how that feels. And why is it that you can say you're pround of being pagen; but when the folks come you find yourself hiding books and such? Well I do anyway.

Heh, good luck. My advice (this comes from someone who's folks aren't too--er--enlightened) is to hide things or make them very discreet. No altars, even. Nada. But, you know, it depends on the kind of people they are. I'm assuming (quite badly) that they're not very tolerant, else their visit shouldn't be a problem. We're pulling for things to go well, that's for sure!
And congrats on the home for the doggie--that's absolutely awesome!

Good luck :hugz:
Apparently they are not staying too long, which is a good thing! I know how you feel, though, I am going to have the same problem when my mother comes to visit in September... I think you are wise to keep a low profile about it, we will see if I can display the same kind of restraint :deviltail

Wonderful news about the dog! :)

o-o.. What's the big deal? I know it must be a hassle, but if they don't know about your faith and they start to overly annoy you, why not just let them know? I understand the privacy and all.

Sun Sprite, I live the exact same pain! All of the men in my husband's family, with the exception of him and his brother..at the moment..are all PREACHERS. His dad is a methodist preacher, several are baptists though. But it makes visiting our home very awkward. I have a craft/religious table covered with witchcraft books in the GUEST bedroom. At first I was scared they would freak, but now, I just let it all show. This is who I am, and I'm proud of it!

But if they're confrontational, which occassionally his family may be, just don't *bring* up a religious subject..., most of the time people are too scared or timid to approach the subject of paganism to begin with! They just make it known they're not happy!

Best of luck to you!
