Would you let your kid attend a birthday party on Good Friday?

Answer 4

Answer 6

Answer 7

Unless you have plans or agaist it

Why not

Answer 8

yes, I am not religous so it does not affect my life at all

Answer 9

for sure. friday makes people more sociable

Answer 10

Yes. Cake and ice cream are still allowed on Good Friday aren't they? Just make sure he goes to the fish fry with you when he gets home from the party.

Answer 11

Yes would let them go but like a previous poster said ask them not to eat meat.  I am a huge meat eater who doesn't like fish but still manage to refrain on good friday and would expect my child to as well.

My old parish church (only old cause moved not a problem) sent the church choir on a social outing on good friday so no difference there.  The difference was the social outing was to mcdonalds and when the children asked about if they could eat it on good friday the vicar looked shocked as they had forgot...lol...he responded that he didn't think god classed chicken nuggets as meat...lol.

Answer 12

sure, if your not religious, then who cares? Honestly.

Answer 13

No, not in our family.

Answer 14

Yes, why wouldn't I?

Answer 15

why not?  would you let your kid attend a birthday party on fat tuesday?

Answer 16

Yep.  There is no reason, even if you attend Good Friday functions, for not celebrating the birthday of another person.

Answer 17

I would.

You don't want to make religion a chore, or they're going to end up on the wrong path. Make it their decision from the beginning. Just show them the way.

It won't hurt.

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

depends if you allow your son to eat meat, most children are allowed to eat meat and this is provided in the Bible. If they are and you don't want your son eating meat ask your child not to eat it. other than that i see no real problem to going to a party Jesus did give his life on Good Friday but I'm sure there is no problem with allowing fun and celebration during Good Friday, this day is supposed to be a happy occasion anyway to celebrate the sacrifice of Our Lord so why not hes just a kid.

Answer 20

oh no you should make his friend change his birthday!  of course he should be able to go, just because its good friday is no reason to punish him and thats exactly how the  kid would see it.

Answer 21

Why not.  Celebrate on Easter Sunday not Good Friday.

Answer 22

Yes I would. I am catholic but I don't see anything wrong with it. I would look into what they are serving to eat though and remind my child that they are not supposed to eat meat, so if it is pizza, to make sure they pull off the pepperoni and don't eat any wings. Even if you are religious it is hard to explain to a child why they can not attend a birthday party just because it is Good Friday. Now Easter Sunday would be another story.

Answer 23

yeah i would the kids are not concerned abou twhat day it is.

Answer 24

Why not?  The kids dont care what day it is.
