[quote=Anonymous] You were very undiplomatic for no reason, OP, and it’s unfortunate because you come off to your family as the one in the wrong. Yes, it is possible SIL might abuse this opportunity by not coming back to pick up her kids at the agreed upon time, or dropping them off too frequently, thus burdening the nanny. But you owe it to her to give her a chance. A chance for first cousins to interact should not be turned down in such cavalier fashion. This family might move away at some point and it will he harder for the cousins to develop a relationship. These are the conditions you should have placed: SIL can pay the nanny a babysitting fee. No more than one 2 hour playdate per week, or every two weeks, or once a month, and she must come back on time to pick up her kids otherwise no more playdates. The trick here is not to say no outright, but to impose limits. I hope you can understand that you shot yourself in the foot. Please reach out and correct the message. [/quote]
