[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This must be very hard to witness. What do you say when your BIL makes your DD cry? [/quote] OP here again. While my DH was holding and comforting our DD while she cried, BIL started apologizing ("sorry, but i am going to be the bad guy on this one, because we don't want our DSs thinking that it's okay for them to climb the stairs, etc.") and my DH said something like 'I understand, I understand, but next time I'll handle it, I'll get her off the stairs, etc."). I understand that they have this rule for their kids, and that our kids have to abide by it when we're visiting, but I don't want THEM handling it -- I want them to let US handle it. We can't always be the first to notice when our kid(s) might be breaking one of the rules because when we visit, there are 5 kids running around, and a lot of the time we (DH and I) try to get some quality time with our nephews and my sister and her DH try to do the same with our DDs.
