I wouldn't let my 7 year old sleep over there again either. I would explain that he yells to much at others. And for your husband, how could he want his little 7 year old to be in such a situation? The only way I would do it is for all of you to spend the night once in awhile. I spent the night , during a holiday, at my sisters in laws and a lot of the family did as well. they all got into an argument. Since than, i wouldn't go over there any more to spend the night and only to visit sometimes. Tell your husband what the yahoo people say about the situation, maybe he will understand a little better(just an idea).
 
I have a problem that my husband & I don't see eye to eye on. My daughter slept at her cousins place a few weeks back & that night her uncle beat his girlfriend up while my daughter & niece were in the bedroom listening to it happening. We got a call from his g.f to collect her in the middle of the night because of it. The issue now (to cut a long story short) is that I don't want my child sleeping over there anymore as how can I be sure this violence wont happen again. My husband thinks its a one off situation but I know my brother-in-law has a long history of violence & I don't want my child exposed or at risk. My daughter wants to know the reason she cant sleep over anymore & is quite angry with me because of it.. how do I explain to her the reason ??? This is causing alot of issues in my marriage.
 
listen just let her im sure it'll be fine if not than put ur feet on the ground and refuse to discuss the topic anymore and tell ur husband u feel strongly about it
 
Since your daughter already experienced this first hand, just tell her, that the uncle is having problems right now, and you do not want her over there until the uncle is able to get help about his problems. Maybe your family needs to go into cousenling too, if the child is mad, the husband is mad, then there is something definately not right here. Your the only one with any common sense, and why is it that the aunt wont leave this abussive relationship with her child?
