[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom is the same way. I am always with the kids when she's around. It's sad, but I just can't trust her with them. It's my kids' safety. Hopefully your DH will agree with you. [/quote]

Thanks for letting me know I am not alone.  If DH doesn't agree with me, I'll just have to put my foot down and bring up the peanut butter fiasco, among other things.  Depressing.

I don't think the peanut butter is that big of a deal, but batteries? Leaving her at the top of the stairs? Both neglectful. [/quote]

I was pretty livid about all of them. Like I said, I love my inlaws and all but come on!

I asked her why my son was BY HIMSELF ON A DIFFERENT FLOOR THAN HER and she told us she had "just run upstairs and got distracted finishing a call"

She then follows this up by saying that we are heliocopter parents and "babies need to feel free to roam!" I have to say I lost my temper and said "THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU NEGLECT THEM AND LET THEM FALL DOWN THE STAIRS!!!"

My husband was livid too thank goodness. I would Have been even madder if he had thought it was fine.

The battery incident happened when she was playing and cooing with the baby. I felt bad hovering (this was before the peanut butter m&m). I stepped away and came back and he had it in his mouth. I ripped it out of his mouth and asked her how long it was in there. She actually said "but he likes it!"  I wanted to kill her. [/quote]
