[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fear of guns doesn't work outside the Acela corridor (DC up through Boston.) Drug use brings up denial.

I do find it odd how more folks here are spun up about guns -- which admittedly are poorly stored if OP is to be believed -- than about the actual drug use.

And the reason more kids drown in swimming pools is because people treat a pool as a giant toy. Guns are respected by 90%+ of gun owners and kept out of reach of kids (and kids are told "this is a gun. DON'T PLAY WITH IT" by said 90%+ of gun owners.)

With that said, the PP who said keep in touch is helpful. If the SIL is trying to figure out what to do, it is helpful to have OP/her husband try and stay in touch with the SIL/daughter. [/quote]

Wow, you have totally missed the point.  Nobody said they aren't concerned about the drug use, but the guns are a much more concrete thing that the BIL/SIL can't deny having. OP had already made her decision about this sleepover, the issue here is how to communicate the decision in a way that causes as little drama as possible.  As far as whether the strategy "works" in a particular area, I don't understand. OP can't be forced to let her kid sleep over at BIL/SIL's, regardless of what they think of her reasoning. [/quote]
