[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m at a loss as to why your husband would allow this. If it’s such a priority for him to spend time with his father, he can plan a trip or vacation for the 2 of them. [b]If your husband insists on your FiIL visiting the family, you need to make FIL AND your husband very uncomfortable when FIL acts up. In front of the kids and your husband, ask FIL why he thinks it’s okay to taunt or ridicule a child. Calmly.[/b] Then tell him if the behavior repeats he’s not welcome ever again. You need to make a fuss because your husband will not take action unless he feels awkward and uncomfortable too, the way you and your daughter have felt for every visit.

Your top priority should be your children and their well-being. Not your husband, not your FIL.[/quote]

I agree with this. My heart is breaking for this little girl. She needs to feel safe in her own home. She needs to know that her parents will stand up for her and protect her.

I do want to emphasize that it’s very important to do this calmly. The moment you raise your voice or yell is when the conversation will switch about how disrespectful you are and his ill treatment of your daughter will be brushed under the table. Men like him are slimy weasels who are used to using social norms to their advantage. [/quote]
