[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So we host bimonthly cousin sleepovers. We hosted last weekend (when BIL broke the news), they are hosting this weekend. I keep telling her I'm happy to take the kids and/or cancel but she wants to host (says it will be a good distraction). BIL and DS are still living together. I'm not sure I can stomach seeing him right now at pick-up/drop off. Do I ask for him to not be there or suck it up and try to be civil.[/quote]

Nope. Nope. Nope. Do not send your kids over there to a volatile situation. It is not cool for her to use your kids as a distraction.

Also I wouldn’t feel the need to be civil to that horrible person. No need to yell at him or anything, but being civil is not something he deserves at this point. [/quote]

I tend to agree with this. Husband should skedaddle for the weekend and maybe you stay with her.

Like, where are the consequences to this guy? Seems like your sister is so invested in staying with him that she's overlooking how incandescently angry she should be.[/quote]
It’s kind of hilarious that you think him not staying home for the weekend with two extra kids (whom I’m sure he lives, but are still extra kids) is a punishment! If they are fighting, then don’t send them, but if they are being civil and trying to work through it, why would you punish the kids by canceling their sleepover? What would that accomplish? Again, OP, you are far too focused on YOU.[/quote]
