Influencing A Young Mind
Life is full of changes. My wife and I just received custody of her 13 year old grand-daughter. So now we are a family of three. I have already been warned about expressing my "lack of belief" toward her. This child has been going to church, Sunday school, etc for awhile. Of course all that will stop at this point as my wife is a non-participating Catholic and I haven't been INSIDE a church in eons.
Should I respect my wife's wishes and stay mute or wait for an opportunity to provide "the rest of the story?"

It sounds as though the girl is the grand-daughter of your wife, so I am assuming that she is your step-grand-daughter. My advice is if you want a happy marriage, keep your mouth shut. If the girl asks you directly, simply say that her grandmother has asked you not to talk about your beliefs. If she asks why, direct her to her grandmother. Eventually something will have to give, but if you make the effort to respect your wife's wishes then at least you can't be blamed. Even so, be prepared to be blamed.

Just figure out what she likes to read and let her have it, if she like biology let her read books on biology, or if she likes koran let her read the koran everything about koran including the bloody history and let her make up her mind.
