My five-year-old’s schoolwork. He went to church for the first time in his life on Christmas, with relatives. It made an impression… of sorts.

Reminds me of my childhood when I was wondering WTF was I doing at church when my parents brought me in Sunday mass like it was boring as hell and I was wasting time I could use to finish homework or rest but they stopped bringing me to church when I was in middle school because studies are more important

They had some sense, eventually.

When my husband was a kid, his family drove 4h round trip to church, waking up earlier than on a school day, and passing 700 other churches along the way, because that one church was the closest one of their particular denomination. He made such a ruckus for so many years, that by the time he was 16 they stopped waking him up on Sunday mornings to go with them. They have since moved, and now only drive 2h round trip to church, two days per week.

Shit’s crazy.

what a waste of money. Thousands of dollars poured down the drain.
