[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. DH asked weeks ago and they are ok with it. But one sister lives at home. I miss them (sisters) and want them to be a part of my son's life. But DH is not putting any energy into reconciliation. Your right, if they are in the house- they would be strangers. and he really is old enough to know what a stranger is, but is he old enough to realize he has aunts he doesn't talk to? I wonder if he would sense the tension without knowing how to describe it. I wish I could protect him from any tension. I know everyone in the house is a kind, responsible person and my in laws want the best for him, but no one is dealing with this. I need to ask for what I want.[b] I want to drop him off and spend time there before leaving him for a night. that makes sense, right?[/b] [/quote]

Um, yes.  I wouldn't drop my kid anywhere without knowing what the house is like, in-laws or not.  You don't know how child-proof it is, etc... and that doesn't even get in to the weird sister issue.

Is your 2.5 year old really going to be okay with you dropping him off for one night, much less several nights, in a strange house with people he knows mostly through Facetime, as well as people he doesn't know at all?  My kids wouldn't.

In the situation you describe, I would not be comfortable leaving my child for an extended period-- maybe for an evening so you and DH can have a date night, but overnight?  Nope.

I agree, this is a recipe for disaster. Your child doesnt know them well enough.
