I was looking for this post and here it is, a year before exactly. What is normal for a Catholic parent is passing on the Faith, no matter what the cost.

For parents, a borrowed comment and repeated story
I have told this story on line before. Bear with me. I had a hard birth
with my son. He stopped breathing five times in the womb. I know he is a
miracle baby. The next morning, with the smell of lilacs coming in
through the open windows, after a late night birth. I held this tiny
baby in a ward of an old Victorian hospital in Cuckfield, Sussex. It was
noisy on the ward, as one did not have private rooms in those days,
only curtains separating beds. Daddy was not there as spouses only had
two times a day they could visit.
All of the sudden, my baby and I were enveloped in complete silence. I
recognized a God moment. I heard as clearly as any human voice, the
Voice of God. He said, “When you die, I shall ask you one question. Did
you pass your Faith on to your son?” I said yes. The silence ended and
all the noises of the beautiful spring day came back. I did not know
then that a few years later, it would be my own, personal responsibility
without the help of a spouse to do this, although Daddy did help me in
the beginning.
I began home schooling in 1991 and ended in 2006, when son went to TAC. I
was a single mom working as well as home schooling. This is the primary
duty of every Catholic parent-to pass on the real Faith of the one,
holy, Catholic and apostolic Church. I may fear my personal particular
judgement for other sins, but not the sin of neglect of my duty, which
was a duty made so clear to me on the morning of April 27th, 1988, the
day after my son’s birth.
