[quote=Anonymous]How do I even begin this conversation with my inlaws? My hands shake just thinking about it. They are in their late 70s. MIL and FIL are equally bad in their own ways. Kids are 1 and 3. We see them 1-3 times a week. They take our oldest either on little outings or for sleepovers about 1x/week. This will be a HUGE change. They don't work and their grandchildren are their entire lives. For a number of reasons, the conversation will have to involve me, if not come solely from me. I have a great relationship with them and feel just as close as if they were blood to me. However, MIL cand be "difficult" and I'm at a loss how to approach this. I have concerns about their ability to competently care for my kids and this is the tip of the iceberg but its the first step. This will be the first "aging/competence" discussion anyone has ever had with either of them about anything. [/quote]
