And wants me to buy it for him.
He knows that I as a Messianic and my wife as an SDA believe it is wrong to eat pork.
It's rebellion on his part. It breaks my heart. His mother and I did not raise him to do this.
He admitted to me he sneaks buying bacon cheesburgers with his lunch money sometimes.
I refuse to buy pork for him. He doesn't like it but he is 16 and he will abide by my rules.
He also does not like going to synagogue with me on Shabbat when my wife is working(she is a nurse and has to work every other Shabbat). My wife has told him he HAS to go to synagogue with me when she works. He just wants to stay home and watch TV programmes that are inappropriate for Shabbat. When my wife is off duty, he doesn't mind going to SDA church with her because his best friend goes there. He doesn't want to go anywhere to worship though and bring up how I was raised in a "secular" home and my brother and I both turned out good.
Will this get better? I do not want him to turn away from G-d. He is a good boy and does not do drugs or alcohol or things with girls he shouldn't be doing before marriage, but I am concerned about his lack of interest in G-d and his wanting to break the food laws.
Shalom,
