[quote=Anonymous]My MIL said something similar... when DD was 3 weeks old! Any verbal filter I had must have malfunctioned in the moment because I also gave an immediate hard no, not going to happen rather than a more measured "oh we'll see what the future holds" kind of diplomatic response. Thankfully, in the time since I've been able to deflect with the noncommittal "we'll see what the future holds, I think it'll be a while before DD is ready for any of that" response. DH has not learned how to be as diplomatic, however, and still has a more visceral "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" response when MIL mentions DD staying with her for the summer or flying there for weeks on end without us. So I'll be off the hook for actually fighting any battles if MIL gets more insistent on the topic. [/quote]
