I recently baptised my daugther anglican, as my fiance and I are both anglican, and my friend is mad that I did that. She said it should be up to my child when they get older to make that decision and I should of waited. I try to tell her that we, as parents make decisions for our children, I mean we don't wait till they are old enough to ask them what elementary school they want to attend, and when she gets older she can choose to either attend church or not. I will not push that on her. I just feel its my decision to baptise her, invite her into gods hands, and my friend harps about it all the time. I avoid talking to her now, but shes an important part of my life, and I don't want this to ruin our friendship. She has no children, and this is what she will do when she does, let her child be baptised later if they want. I tell her its my choose and she won't let go of it. What can I do??
