[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm on Team Auntie here. I really encourage you to try to make this work -- I'm speaking as someone who had wonderful, wonderful relationships with a weird aunt or two. You say she is kind and loving to your child, and your husband trusts her. That goes a LONG way in my book. I'd be lovingly up front with her about the guns and let her know that they will need to be locked in order for you to consent to your daughter spending time there without you or your DH. Then I'd start with maybe an afternoon and then build up to a longer visit. If you have different hesitations, please add them, but I don't see anything in your post that should justify keeping your child away except the unlocked guns.[/quote] +1 you might address it long before it's actually a possibility for your daughter to be there alone. Less pressure then. And can be done in the spirit of excited preparations for their time together. [/quote]
