Can a couple with two different religion co-exist?

heatspine @heatspine (1141) • Philippines 26 Feb 07

If you are married to someone who has a different religion with yours, how do you manage that? Now, the trickier question is what religion your children follows? Isn't it a distraction and will cause confusion to your kids?

ashcas I have been with my husband for 9 years, he is southern Baptist and I am an Atheist. I don't think that we have mastered dealing with it yet. I guess what has gotten us this far is basically being honest about our feelings and agreeing to disagree. We don't...

Do you call your aunt or uncle by their first name?

ajinomoto23 @ajinomoto23 (1057) • Philippines 25 Feb 07

Do you think that is a sign of disrespect? I feel offended if my nephew call me by my first name without adding the word aunt. I keep on correcting him but he never change.

ashcas When I was a kid I called my aunts and uncles Aunt so and so and Uncle so and so, but when I got older I started just calling them by their first name. We are all adults so I don't think it is disrespectful. When I talk about them to someone who does not know...

how strict?

mitdasein @mitdasein (46) • United States 8 Feb 07

How strict are you about meat-based ingredients? Do you make waiters go back and double-check whether there's chicken stock in the risotto? Do you have a "don't ask, don't tell policy" when it comes to the refried beans at Mexican...

ashcas I am not that strict when it comes to restaurants. I just try to order something that doesn't have any reason to use meat. But I have never asked if they use chicken stock in the potatoes or anything like that. Like someone else said I don't want to starve....

ashcas My husband does not smoke but he uses snuff, which is really nasty too. I can get so irritated just thinking about it. We fight about it all the time. He used it before we got married but he hid it from me. I think that if he was a smoker we would have to work...

Can you use chopsticks?

thyst07 @thyst07 (2079) • United States 19 Feb 07

When, where, and why did you learn to? I learned how to use chopsticks to impress a guy I liked. He was really into Asian cuisine, and I didn't want to look dumb by using a fork while he ate with chopsticks.
