My husband wants to carry on traditions I’m unsure about.

For background, he is one of two males who will carry on the family name, and the other has been disowned and “doesn’t count” to the older generations because he is in an interracial marriage (I know- horrible). Plus, DH was raised by a much older single father who had a much older father as well, so everything regarding children and family is very out of date and not always what I (or my husband) thinks is appropriate. Of course some of it my husband takes as gospel. He doesn’t think it matters so much what kind of people his elders are, that he needs to honor them and respect them and their traditions as much as possible.It’s strange because he doesn’t have strong feelings about the subject of the traditions themselves, but he feels very strongly the traditions should be held.Also, his father is in ill health and he just lost his grandfather. We just had our first child together, a son, in January, and I am expecting again.One of the traditions is christening. I don’t want our kids christened. We don’t attend church and have vague religious beliefs (him) and strong religious beliefs I grapple with (me). He said it is non negotiable. He suggested we do it with a specific denomination which showed me how little he knew or cared about the actual practice because they don’t christen.Another is that men name the boys and the names are pulled from a pool that skips generations, so he feels obligated to choose those names, also which I don’t care for.He won’t budge. What can I do? These are not hills for me to die on. But I want a say. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2HuSj0g
