When my husband and first got together, him being a Jehovah's Witness and me being Catholic, we agreed that our beliefs would both be taught to our son in a way that it would not conflict. (Crazy?) We never had a problem but we are now going through a separation and my son brought to my attention that his father told him that Santa doesn't exist. My son is seven, and fortunately he didn't take what his dad told him very serious and still believes in Santa. On top of this he also went ahead and explained that God "gets mad at you" for celebrating different holidays! I was very upset, as you can imagine, and I now wonder if there are any restrictions as to what he can say to my son about my beliefs, since I have never interfered with what he teaches him about his own. Any thoughts?
