[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you do not trust your MIL’s judgement to pick a decent man as her boyfriend but you trust her to care for your kids while you travel. That’s convenient. What does your husband want? [/quote] So many women, especially older women, have blind spots or poor judgment where men are concerned. OP I would be an absolute no. It’s super weird that your mom would want a new boyfriend who has never met you or your kids to stay at your house with you out of town. [/quote] I don't think it's super weird that she wants to bring her boyfriend as she likely trusts him and assumes you trust her judgment; however, I agree that many older women have poor judgment where men are concerned. If you say no, be prepared to cause a rift in the relationship and potentially lose childcare. You still have to trust your gut, so if it feels wrong, start looking for alternative care or cancel your trip. [/quote]
