[quote=Anonymous]Op- I can feel your pain- my husband’s adopted sister is straight up white trash- both her daughters have kids with no knowledge of who the dad is- the son has not had a job for longer than 12 months and he is 30.  None are educated- actually none finished high school.  My husband and I are both educated and gainfully employed.
    So I drew the line- we no longer go to MIL’s house to visit (in another state) because I do not want my kids around them. I was guilted a bit first xmas that it won’t hurt for 3 days a year at xmas but after three visits over 6 years, I laid down the law— my kids will not be around  them at all.  End of story.
  I guess I got upset enough that being “fair” didn’t matter. I’m the mom and we are still married- so I refuse to allow them around my kids.

The world is full of interesting people with interesting life choices- that all fine and part of life- out of my control. But spending 12 hours on small house with skanks- yeah I’m fine saying “not going to happen- and yes, just because I said”.
  End of story. 
 You’re the mom- you have the right.[/quote]
