[quote=Anonymous]I've worked out twice but it's not getting easier.

DD is 6 and has several life threatening emergencies. My FIL
IsWorse than useless and my MIL thinks gluten free, vegan, and dairy/nut free are all the same thing. They don't understand cross contamination. And frankly I don't trust either of them to give her an epi if she accidentally eats something.  She is still a weird age for self advocacy.   DD also has some minor developmental delays that are really evident when she is around other kids -- and of course her cousins will be there. She cannot roughhouse the way they do -- even though she will get right in there -- because she injures far more easily due to poor eyesight, low tone and hyper mobile joints. She receives supports for these things at school.

Still, MIL thinks it's a JUST FABULOUS idea and, while DH doesn't want it either, he figures his mom raised him and he is in one piece.

Perhaps the biggest issue is the car seat. DD is still harnessed and will be in a five point for the foreseeable future due to
Gross and fine motor delays. DH's parents think it's fine for the kids to bounce around for a few
Miles. It's not safe, it's not legal, and it goes against our family rules.
I bought and installed a seat in their car, which my FIL took out promptly.

I have tried to be blunt: "you wouldn't be offended if I sent food?" I have tried to be subtle. I have told them that DD doesn't like sleeping anywhere but home.

Suggestions? DH would rather dodge as long as possible.[/quote]
