[quote=Anonymous]While I agree that your in laws aren't over the top reckless, their attitude toward your requests is troubling. We had same issue with MIL, who is an extreme believer in free range parenting. We are more moderate & believe it really depends on the situation and child. Every request to her was like throwing down a gauntlet and she kept escalating to show us how right she was. We played that horrible game for years, initially moving to supervised visits only for her, and now we don't speak and she isn't allowed to see him ever. Only you can say whether or not there could be a productive conversation with your in laws. Not so much about the specific things, but about the need to respect and consider your parenting requests in general. If they are prone to immature responses (like my MIL's 'I'll show you' approach), I would keep my DC in the extra day of preschool/daycare and go to work in peace.[/quote]
