My daughter has just asked about joining The Rainbows.
I am an ex-Brownie myself and loved it. I would love Lauren to also enjoy this experience. I am, however, concerned with the Brownie Promise (which has been changed/adapted over the years).
She will have to recite that she loves her God.
(Santa springs to mind again
)
Can't we get away from this? Children are exposed to this enough.
She already refers to the nativity she did last year in school as "The Jesus Show" (Don't get me started on this one!!!) She is 6 years old by the way. And before you comment, we keep our feelings on religion away from our children.
Which begs my question, should I put up and shut up and let her have fun with her mates? I think I have just answered my own question.
It just angers me.
But would appreciate some advice from anyone else who is in a similar situation.
Lotsa love Lorna x-x
