[quote=Anonymous]I agree with everyone saying don't allow the visit when DH is unavailable. I'll go a little farther - you and DH need to make some decisions about how to handle this more proactively. "Mom, we need you to respect our house rules when you're here, the same way we require the kids to respect them. We need your help in teaching them how to be good people so no swearing, keep an eye on them for safety issues, don't teach them things we're trying to prevent etc... Can you be on our team with this? If not then we need to limit your visits." You and he need to be a united front, and you need to put your nuclear family's culture, comfort and values first. I've been there. It's a tough battle but if you and he are on the same page, and if he is willing/able to stand up to his mother, then you can change this dynamic in time - even if the primary change is greatly reduced visits. Good luck.[/quote]
