[quote=Anonymous]PP was blunt but pretty much correct. You need to discuss with DH and come up with a plan for how to handle it next time. Don't say anything now. He has it in his head that your kids were being too loud and will only remember it that way. Talk to DH and ask if he wants to handle it next time or if it's ok for you to say something to avoid friction between brothers. Figure out some things you could say depending on possible problems BIL might perceive (noise, kids running, making a mess, etc). Also ask DH if there's something you could say, like a code word, if DH wants to handle it but doesn't step up, so you can nudge him discretely. Don't be so passive. It's up to you to take up for your kids. Letting it happen tells people it's ok for them to reprimand your kids as they see fit. Usually just saying "I've got the discipline under control" is enough to get people to stop. [/quote]
