[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be the outlier here.

OP, although the title of your post was poorly worded, if your instincts are telling you your daughter was in danger…trust your instincts. Regardless of the circumstances (e.g. disabled BIL, accidental hit) your daughter would have been hurt. I’m sure this was very scary for your kids. Kids come first over adults, disabled on not.

The time with this BIL would be very limited in controlled environments until the kids are older. No staying at our place on weekends. My sympathies, this is tough. But, your first responsibility is to your kids.[/quote]

No. OPs instincts are crap and she deserves to get called out for it. OP and her husband need to talk to their own kids about the uncle and set expectations appropriately.  OP and her kids need to work on empathy, acceptance, and inclusion. Mama Bear needs to sit down and shut up.[/quote]

You sound like a very refined and thoughtful person. It must be that you know what you’re talking about. 🙄

When a disabled person can be unpredictable and dangerous, they lose the right to a seat at the table. This should be the case with inclusion programs in public school, also. I’ve worked with way too many truly dangerous kids in the school system that are unsafe for kids in general ed. While inclusion is absolutely a wonderful concept, it can be taken to an extreme that is inappropriate. A grown man throwing fits like a toddler may not be safe around children.[/quote]

BIL doesn't lose his seat at the table. What truly terrible advice.[/quote]
