Advice
Hi guys! So…my fiancé mentioned today that he wants to baptize the baby. He’s never mentioned it until now and has been almost…against any type of religious involvement or anything having to do with religion. He’s been okay with traditions that I want to do that are Jewish as long as I’m the one to plan it and figure it out. And because I’m Jewish, my son will be Jewish. I’m just a bit…hesitant because I don’t really know what this includes or will entail? Has anyone had to deal with this? Multi denominational upbringing? I just don’t know what to think or feel. Any advice on how to handle this would be appreciated😭

thank you for your advice!! I talked to him…and he’s on the fence about a baptism, I guess he’s just thinking about it? His mom mentioned it to me once and I shut it down, because that something to be decided between me and my fiancé, not her.
Another note is that they’re Syrian, and when she found out I’m Jewish she lost it. She has no idea that we’re raising our son Jewish or doing Jewish traditions with him and I’m anxious for her reaction. Maybe that’s why he’s asking for it, like an olive branch situation to appease her so she isn’t as rude this time around?
Oh no, I'd be horrified by this. If he's on the fence and it's painful to you, I hope he'll respect your feelings
