Two questions here.

First one kind of borders on a question about grief but I'll post it here because it's also parenting (sorry if this is the wrong place). I think everyone knows, but my nephew, more of a son then a nephew, he lived with us, passed We also have twins.

Should I or should I not, when the twins are older, talk about my nephew? he was essentially their big brother and loved them. I don't want to inflict grief and sadness on them when they or older by talking about him, but he was part of the family and I don't want to ignore his memory. What do you all think? Is it important to talk about a passed family member, or better to keep it to a minimum?

I know the twins are young and there's plenty of time to think about this, but wondering what everyone else thought.

Alright, second question. Talked about this with a friend a while ago, just thought of it again today so figured I'd get everyone's opinions. Hopefully not a touchy subject and hopefully won't provoke any arguments, but if I'm overstepping any boundaries I apologize.

When raising kids, what do you do with your religion? Do you raise your children to follow your religion, or simply present your religion as an option and teach them about other religions also? Or not mention religion, unless asked, and let the child some to their own conclusion completely?

Just wanted to see everyone's opinions on this, thanks.

And, on a complete side note, twins turn six months old tomorrow
