He's 3 now? So when your able to leave he'll be 4-5 years old?
I would say just ignore it for now. For one thing, he's still a baby. Any influence your mom could have will easily be eroded over the years. After all, most agnostics decided to be agnostics not as kids, but as adults. What's more, you can teach your son to be inquisitive and doubtful anyway, so maybe, on his own, even while you're still at your mom's house, your son will start not quite taking your mom's word 100%. Also, remember, she's not the only influence. She'll tell him she she believes, and you can tell him what you believe, and he'll quickly figure out that the 2 views are not compatible, and one just isn't very logical. Don't underestimate your kid
"I can't even explain to him the reality of all of this.. It's much harder for him to understand what I think"
your thinking about it too hard. He's 3. He's not gonna get it anyway, neither what you say or your mom says. Just start by going over with him all the religions in the world. That will be enough for him to do all the thinking on his own.
So for now, just ignore it. As an agnostic, really, you should know that getting in a fight over religion is just not worth it. |
