There's no benefit to making it confrontational if you can avoid it, sometimes you just can't determine how the other persons wants to behave regardless of your actions.

When I said that to her, it was more light hearted than how it appears as the written word...she understood my point though and it was good stuff.

She and my dad have both passed but they were able to enjoy my children without worrying that their eternal souls were damned for all time...or if they were worried about that they never let on.

Best to you with your continued efforts!
