I appreciate your sentiments, but it was really more of a question of my avoiding embarrassment all 'round. :) And they actually do seem to love me quite a bit--we just don't share quite as many values as I'd like, but they've been extremely hands-off when it comes to the things they might not agree with. In fact, my Dad gave me much more of a hard time about my son not being circumcised than they ever gave my husband about our son not being Christened. In fact I don't think they ever mentioned it at all.
