[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that the person to deal with your MIL should be your DH. But, basically -- if you don't trust her to baby-sit, you shouldn't let her baby-sit. Maybe you can tell her "No, thank you, but we'd rather not go." Don't go into reasons. Don't engage with her reasons. Just keep repeating, politely, with a pleasant smile, "No, thank you, but we'd rather not go", until you can't stand it anymore, and then say, politely, that you need to go now/would like to change the subject/whatever, to make it clear that the conversation is over. She won't be happy, but would you rather have an unhappy MIL or a MIL you don't trust baby-sitting your baby?[/quote] Pretty much this. And if you are not ready to leave your baby yet, that is ok too.[/quote]
