Why do parents run kids everywhere except church?

My teenagers go to church every week and have for the past 8 years. As soon as they were old enough to be dropped off without me having to stick around.

Hubby and I take our kids to church at least twice a week. Hopefully, after I get this new job with better hours, we'll be able to go to more mid-week services. School is the only place they spend more time at than church.

Some parents still take their kids to church. Not all of them have the time to take them. Plus when you were a kid didn't you find church a little lame.

Church? Are you serious? I don't even like my children going into a church for a wedding. It's 2009, most people no longer believe in such nonsense.

My parents take ME church.

I love Church and we never miss Church as a family.

It doesn't make sense to me to miss Church and then run to Walmart.

becoz parents arent really there any more

today, parents ,pretty much, just feed children and sit them in front of video games

:( (parents dont try to influence thier children anymore)

instead they let the internet, the world and other people( childrens friends) influence thier children

nowdays im not a religious person....

but i do know this....

some type of "religious exporsure" is really important for kids...

i do believe that there is a phase/period in every kids life when they wanted to know more about religion....

whether they decide to be religious or non religious in their adult, thats up to them.

but the exposure to reglion will help them decide...

hope this helps

Welcome to the world in 2009 !

I hate to say it but NONE of my friends ever go to church..sometimes they only go on Christmas and thats it for the year.

Im grateful for my parents who make me go to church every Sunday, because now I have a strong relationship with God, and in my opinion thats better then anything.

Im 15.

Because TOO many activities and planed on Sunday morning, swimming, socker, football, and baseball I thinks in BAD taste to schedule these activities on Sunday morning and should be brought up to the people scheduling them.

Some parents don't believe in god...Just saying.
