[quote=Anonymous]My MIL would totally do something like this and frequently promises big things to my kids without discussing it with DH or me. I usually take a really vague "ok, we'll see" approach with my kids. With my MIL, I wait until SHE brings it up because until that happens, I really don't know if my kids misunderstood or if it's a serious plan. Once she mentions it, I respond with the most neutral, matter-of-fact reason why it won't work ("kids are too young", "doesn't work with our schedule" "we have other plans"). Less drama that way.[/quote]
