[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK at this point it's pretty obvious that you are tip toeing around the nephew issue because you are deliberately leaving out any information about whatever express or implied quid pro quo if you do not agree to expose your own children to the nephew.  The most likely is that you are afraid of some financial repercussion from the in laws, but it could be something else.  No one in their right mind would consider having to be constantly vigilant of the nephew tolerable even for an hour much less a day or more.

What are you afraid will happen if you draw the clearly necessary bounday of no contact between nephew and your kids?

The SIL or MIL will cast you as the bad guy?  Then what?  These are  your own children. If nephew decides one day it would be fun to poke out a four year old's eye or bite off an ear your life will be forever and dramatically changed, as will your child's.  No amount of lost college funds or lost inheritance is worth it.[/quote]

My husband wants our children to have a relationship with their other cousins, who are their only similar-age family on his side. There is, as yet, no dividing the oldest from his siblings. [/quote]

OK so…get on the stick and proactively email them links to places that work for you! What a revelation.[/quote]
