[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say OP it would have been nice if your BILs caregiver or another adult on that side of the family— to include your husband— had checked in to make sure the kids were ok after what was probably a pretty dramatic event. That’s how we deal with hitting with toddlers, if similar cognitive ability, the attention goes to the victim not the hitter.

That said have *you* checked in with your kids? Because it’s more your responsibility than anyone else’s.[/quote]
Have you ever dealt with a cognitively impaired grown adult? You don’t direct your energy to unharmed bystanders. You focus on getting your charge to a safe space so they can come down, which is exactly what the caretaker in this case did by leaving. OP and her husband are perfectly capable of displaying some empathy for the BIL and caretaker and handling their own children.[/quote]

+1. Kudos to the brothers for including their sibling in Christmas dinner. He probably was so excited to attend but became overstimulated. Sounds like they took care of the situation appropriately. [/quote]

I agree. I’m so impressed at how the family, other than OP, treat the disabled brother. They sound like a wonderful family.

As for OP, you don’t make decisions based on a single event that everyone was prepared to handle and were effective in handling. [/quote]
