follow your instinct i only have 1 person who can watch my son and i won't let her my mil can't eve take care of herself she drinks everyday has threatened to spank my son and when i said something she said she'll do what she wants she isn't allowed around my son alone i don't particularly like her at all bcuz of the person she is but to yell at or threaten my child uh-uh u hurt my child ur in a world of trouble with me never leave ur child with ppl that respond that way to her it's dangerous and irresponsible if they do it once they will do it again no matter how much ppl want to believe in others zebras don't change their stripes like people can't change their personalities they are who they r keep them at bay

i have known personally of people who have lost their children due to relatives...i also dont trust my mother in law with my son and never have, he is either with me or his father...it may be different when your daughter is alittle older like 1-2 where she can express and or tell you what has been going on but until then i would make sure she is in safe hands and that seems like yours...its better to be safe than sorry!

You are not being over protective, just protecting your daughter. i had to do them same for my daugter and she now doesnt see anyone from my hubby's side of the family except one set of his grandparents. I had to look out for my daughter and she hasnt seen her paternal grandparents since the 5th october last year, and we have no intention of her ever seeing them again. at the end of the day you and your husband have to look out for your daughter, and know what is best for her. Best of luck :)

Thank you all!! I was worried I was just being over protective of her. Especially it being her grandparents. So I figured, see what other moms think as well.

no i wouldnt trust them...if they acting like that and you're in the other room packing...they probably 10 times worse when you're not around...i say tell your husband to confort them about it...then once he start the conversation then you explain how you feel

Two words. HELL NO!

They need to earn that trust. If you see things that you dislike, tell them, and yet they still do it. I wouldn't trust them. They've given you no reason to.

Absolutely not. My parents haven't even seen my son since he was 6 weeks old b/c I don't trust them not to smoke around him. You have to worry about YOUR family now and that consists of your husband and children, forget the rest. Good luck hun!

I fell that way about my parents I didn't want my children to have sweets and soda pop. also my oldest is allergic to peanuts (its not life threatening she gets a bad rash that takes a week to clear us) but every time I've left my children in their care they give them soda and sweets and they've given my daughter a peanut butter sandwich (she has soy butter at their house they just didn't want to look for it since I keep it on another shelf) My in laws I trust to take my kids for long weekends they follow all of my rules (didn't always but when I said I was going to stop letting them come for visits if they didn't they turned around) I now pay a baby sitter to watch my kids if they need to be watched because My childcare's health is number one. So no you shouldn't trust them especially since they act like that when you're right there it scares me to think what might happen if you aren't

i wouldnt but i dont trust my mil either for simular reasons like that mine was mostly things i wanted my son to be around and or to eat and i remember getting back from the movies to see my son asleep on his tummy and me and my husband BOTH told her no cuz of sids and there are only a ton more reasons and now with my son walking i absolutly refuse to let her watch him when we go over there but no i wouldnt trust her and if she is a wow player at her age i dont think she would even care to look back and see whats wrong with your daughter until she gets extreamly annoyed with her crying id say just pack stuff in your car and go as you can thats how i would do it

I do not trust my MIL or SIL to follow my wishes with my son therefore I don't let them babysit. I don't care If they get their feelings hurt. My son is my first priority.

trust your gutt, by the sound of it you arnt comfortable with your daughter being alone with your in laws so i wouldnt leave her there, they can always spend time with your daughter when your around and if your not keen on the telly being so loud ask your inlaws to visit at your place or try talking to them but you should always trust your gutt instinct on leaving your daughter with anyone

Honestly no I would not because they seem like the type of people who are set on doing things their way no matter what. My father in law is like that too. I made the huge mistake of trusting him to watch my son when he was 1 yr old and he spanked him with a board! I told him that I would NEVER trust him again! But he swore that he made a mistake and he would never do anything that I did not agree with when it came to my kids. So I trusted him again...8 yrs later...to watch my 7 and 9 yr olds and he left them at the house alone so that he could go grab a pop at the corner store!!! He has never watched my 2 yr old or my other kids again and he never will!
