    This is the "them":
    You say that it is working for you, but you have not even started, your children are less that 5 years old. The example I gave is of parents who's children are now 50 and over, only 2 of 50+ made it, and all of them parents and children all married Catholics. I am showing you the results after the fact. You are just starting.
    I teach my kids everything I can for their ages about the faith. My kids know about making little sacrifices, praying, they know they have to choose to follow God of their own free will not because I told them too. They get excited about prayers, and church. My daughter adore high mass, and love mama Mary. They love hearing me tell about Mary Magdalene (my conformation Saint) they loving hearing of Saint therese. I’m not doing a bad job. Another thing I never put myself in a situation where I would be disrespectful to my husband. I’m never not home when he’s home unless I have an errand to run for the house, and chances are we would run it together! I adore my husband as head of this house, and my best friend. So don’t let your imagination runaway with you because you knew someone who cheated.

    You sound like you are putting forth a good effort in being a Catholic wife and mother. I believe what Tradhican is doing is trying to warn you of the dangers of Modernism in the daily life of the family. Some priests do not warn the laity enough about this so perhaps he is using an online forum to get that message out. Although going directly after you I don’t see why. We can only be good examples to others and share our experiences, but life lessons are not really learned on forums online.

    Why would I go "directly after" anyone?

    Keep it up, that's more than my parents, aunts and uncles did.

    However, if you do not homeschool or send them to a good Catholic school, your daily efforts will be totally offset by their learning from the seculars. TV is just another portal for the seculars to influence your children. And a waste of time.

    Secular daycare, secular schools and TV, are all indoctrinating mediums of the enemies of God. You do not stand a chance against them.

    Asking her if she watches tv or if her husband is a convert is what I meant by going after directly.

    Thank for the warning, I understand what I am up against.
    And thanks?.... I think for letting me know I’m more of a cliche then I thought.

    Those are questions, important questions that occurred to me to ask based on what I was told up to that point. Watching TV is not good, having a convert husband says nothing, one way or the other. St. Paul was a convert, and Luther was a cradle Catholic.

    The more they are avoided the better for the soul. Most important is prayer and lots of good family time together.

    Just because your family had a lackadaisical laissez-faire approach to religion doesn't mean the Mr and Mrs Vintage do.

    My greater family did more than just "lackadaisical laissez-faire approach to religion", but it was the 1960's and they all got hit by something unprecedented in history, it came out of seemingly nowhere. Practically all their children 50+ went to Catholic schools. Parents expected the schools to teach the faith, but it was not enough to offset the world.

    It is worse today than the 60's, but it is not out of nowhere, today we have the history of the 1960's and on, almost 60 years to learn from others mistakes. Today, in the USA, if parents send their children to secular schools and let them watch TV, no matter what they teach them, the odds are strongly against them succeeding. I have not seen one yet that has succeeded. When the children reach the teenage years they "do it their way". 

    Success to me is that the children become real Traditional Catholic and pass the faith onto their children. The families that have succeeded all went to SSPX schools and homeschooled, didn't watch television and much more. I have only scratched the surface in this discussion, because the subject is just homeschooling.

    This is the major problem. 
    So many parents lament too late, having shirked on their responsibility. 
    I thank God that, although I went to a Catholic school before the rot set in, my parents never depended on the school to teach us the Faith. That was their responsibility, they took it very seriously, lived the Faith, and so we children were greatly blessed.

    Maybe it is not your intent, but your posts are coming across as personal attacks and interrogation.  You might be able to make your point more effectively if you talked about generalities rather than making it specifically about VintageWife's situation.  None of us are in a position to judge that.
