[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your house and your rules, especially if you and your husband are a united front.

I would not want to be this involved in any relative's business - i wouldn't want to know (especially if I'd said my piece already).

So I'd probably say something like "we would love to see you but are not interested in having him in our house.  If that makes it impossible for you to visit us we would be very sorry but that's your choice."

I also think that if he was just coming to pick her up and never even entered my home I could live with that - my point would be made, the boundary would be drawn, and I wouldn't feel the need to push it any farther but that's your call.

The details of this other person's relationships and story seem like things you should just choose not to listen to, explore, discuss, or even consider.  They aren't material to your world and it's none of your business.  all that matters (and falls appropriately within your jurisdiction) is who is allowed in your home, and under what circumstances.[/quote]

Yes I really wish she hadn't shared the details with me but she has and now I know more than I want to.  I do not have any desire to accept this person into my immediate family.  For her having him "just pick her up" really isn't an option in her life that means, come in have a glass of wine, get to know my children, maybe have lunch then leave.  Bottom line is she is trying to force us to accept him into our family - I guess as a way to validate her relationship with him (not sure there?) but nevertheless we are not ready to bring this guy in.
