My parents have a different understanding of doctrine than my wife and myself. I grew up Methodist, and in the last couple years they have moved to a Assembly of God (or one of those). My mother has also expressed sentiments that are clearly wrong, like that Jesus is created -- which she backpedaled on when confronted. My sense is mainly that they do not devote a lot of time discriminating good from bad doctrine.
In a couple weeks, they will be watching our children (1, 4 and 6). We need to have a conversation with them to make it clear that we do not want them teaching doctrine, since especially the oldest will take anything in.
Does anyone have experience / suggestions on how to approach this graciously? I expect feelings to get hurt, but I would like to limit that as much as possible.
Thank you in advance for any insights!
