[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue is that you are graciously providing free childcare and in return they decided it is appropriate to crap on your life choices. What a-holes![/quote]

Saying they want their kids to participate in their online schooling is not crapping on OP’s life choices. OP may not have the bandwidth to do it, in which case the sister can remove her kids from OP’s care, which it seems like she’s doing.[/quote]

From the OP: "her husband wrote me a strongly worded email about how homeschooling is good enough for my kids but not theirs"[/quote]

Huh?  OP homeschools by choice, I assume.  Her SIL and BIL don't want that.  I really doubt he said "good enough for your kids but not mine."  He probably said "we want them to do the online curriculum from their school."  OP is projecting.  [/quote]

Or "That might work for your family/kids, but it won't work for ours."  And how much was OP pushing the homeschooling/denigrating the school or DL?  Or did they decline the homeschooling and OP wouldn't "graciously" accept it?

In any case, OP said that she would not provide childcare, or full-time childcare, if they didn't do the homeschooling, and so S/BIL made an alternative plan.  What else should they have done?[/quote]

Guessing this is one of those stories that sounds pretty different from the other side..[/quote]
