I’ve personally been christened, but my boy won’t be as my partner is not Christian. I will let me child decide when they are ready to and if they want to learn about both our religions x
I’m Christian so it was important to me to Christen my daughter. It doesn’t cost a lot, guess it just depends what you do after but you could do it cheaply. ☺️ It’s just a prayer/ dedication so it’s not like anything negative can come from it in my opinion. Xx
As a parent you do what you think is best for your child. You don’t wait for your child to decide which school he wants to go or which food he wants to eat, you make those decisions based on what you think is best, same when it comes to religion. If you’re faith is very important for you and your family then yes of course do christen him/her.
I'm not religious but I don't think it's a waste of money if it's important to the family. I would have had my baby baptized if anyone asked (my husband was). It's not like it means you have to be Christian! If your family would enjoy it, it can be a nice little celebration.
My partner is hindu and I was christened as a baby he wasn’t we have spoke about it quite a lot but haven’t yet got round to it. His son from a previous relationship is.
It does depend on your beliefs i was baptised but my partner not religious so we're thinking of choosing a blessing as a compromise
I am not religious, my husband all of a sudden has decided he would like to go to church occasionally. I think it because the birth was very traumatic, he nearly lost me and my son.
That just depends on your beliefs. My parents didn’t christen me (they both are) and I’m very grateful for that. Talk to your partner about why each of you wants/ doesn’t want to do it
