I'm sure the real trick in these mixed marriages is deciding how to raise the kids.

I mean, do you raise them Deadhead? Or non-Deadhead? Or sort of both, and let them choose? But then don't they risk ending up with neither? I don't know. I think it's totally fine for a kid to be raised either Deadhead or non-Deadhead. I'm just not sure it's a good idea to raise them without a clear position on the Dead.

Sure, but if they're raised Deadhead are you a Jerry Purist, a Weirite, or Leshian Schismatic?

My trackback thing doesn't seem to be working, but I referred to this post.
