I had to have a talk with my mother, because over a year ago she told my daughter (who wasn't even 3 at the time) that girls should only wear skirts or dresses.
It wasn't your place to discuss your beliefs on Halloween, and it wasn't my mother's place to discuss what my daughter should/shouldn't wear. That's the role and responsibility of the parents.

Yes, I agree. It is the role of the parent. However, the last time I tried to talk to my granddaughter, (the little girls mother) she sounded like she was an atheist. So am I to let my little ggdaughter grow up to be an atheist?
A little girl that watches everything I do? Asks me all kinds of questions and soaks up information like a sponge? Would rather help me cook and gather eggs than just about anything else they ask her if she wants to go or do.
I'm sorry, but I have to get the Word in her, and if they don't like it, they can tell me. And I will tell her the truth. Some things I will tell her, "maybe you can't understand that now, but when you get older you will."
When she get's older, I might not be here to tell her.
I know what you mean about getting after relatives for teaching wrong things. I got after my mother in law for telling my children scary things. But I can't imagine anyone, even my granddaughter not wanting me to tell her about Jesus. And as inquisitive as she is, I would have to tell the other side of the story also.
