[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FIL and his wife want our preschooler to come spend a weekend with them.  Great, no problem, kid loves them.  I was talking to FIL and telling him a little about our son and how he may need to do some timeouts if son gets a little nuts.  FIL says "oh, I'll just give him a little swat, that always makes them pay attention!".  I said no, that's not ok, we don't hit our son or use spanking as a punishment.  FIL says "my house, my rules!".  I got off the phone quickly.  I'm inclined to not send my son now.  I don't want to retaliate with "my kid, my rules", as that sounds kind of petty (even if it's what we mean) but I'm also just not comfortable sending our son into a situation like that.

What am I missing here?  Is there any reason to not pull the plug?[/quote]

Ugh, he's an a$$hole. Tell him if he hits your child you'll call the cops and have him charged with assault.

Otherwise, as other posters have said, don't send him. Stop thinking you have to send him there. And DH has issues if he's still afraid of his daddy. [/quote]
