[quote=Anonymous]DH, ILs and I have a complex relationship.  It's never been good, not open fighting, but there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff.  DH and they don't have a great relationship but he vacillates between blaming me and blaming them.  The only positive about them is that they don't visit often and they and DH aren't very close (they wouldn't put it that way, but in reality they don't speak often and when they do, never about anything real).

They want to plan a visit during the summer and rent a cabin 2 hours away.  Our kids will be 2 yo and an 8 yo and DH wants to go with both kids and stay for a week.  The 8 year old will be fine, I'm ok with that, but I don't want the 2 yo to go.  DH and FIL plan to go fishing and leave 2 yo with MIL.  MIL is not abusive but she is inattentive and not very functional.  I do not trust her to care for a 2 year old.  I learned this with my first and now with age she's worse.  DH disagrees, he think it will be "fine".

So I'm left with: (1) send both kids and pray they make it; (2) veto the 2 yo going and have ILs and DH resent it; (3) go with them.  No good options.  WWYD?
