Our kids are 4 yrs old and 20 months old. My husband and I have a rule that our children do not go anywhere without either one or both of us. The other day a girl in our city was abducted (returned home safe thank God) and it just made our resolve that much stronger. Today the in laws are asking to take the kids to this party. I have so much anxiety about this. We've told them before about our policy regarding our kids, but they keep making these requests. It makes me so mad! My husband is incapable of being forceful or forthright with his parents-he is afraid they will reject him. I am OK with them babysitting in our home where I know where they are and I know they are safe. Now what do I do?! I am stressed out!
 
well if your husband won't be forceful then its time for you to be. there your children and you have a right to raise them how you please. I think its rude that your in laws keep asking after they already know the answer. Just inform them once again of the rule you have and if they can't follow it then I guess they'll have to miss out for a while.
 
You are their mother and your opinions about your kids come way before your in-laws opinions. Put your foot down and tell them you aren't comfortable with them taking the kids right now and that's it. Tell them you don't appreciate the constant requests and that you'll let them know when the policy changes.
